Good Envelope Filter

[Andy V.]

It does sound, with the bit about the tone getting thin and tinny, like you're sending it a hotter signal than it can handle. Envelope filters in general are extremely picky about the input signal level. Some like it hot, some not so much. I strongly suggest anyone who gets disappointing results with any envelope filter try adjusting the level of the signal going in.

The goal is to have the right amount of signal.
With my TRB5, the filter was very bad.
With my Stingray 5, the sound was ver nice.
And with my passive P-bass plus, the sound is not that nice.
I have to hit the strings harder to get the filter to open.

hi guys

so .. i've decided that I'll keep 2 filters only on my board (hopefully ..)

so I've decided on Morley PBA-2 Dual Bass Wah for my more funky lines type of music ..

and I have one empty spot to fill the auto filter / wah that I can use more or less for rock basslines .. any quick recommendation top of your mind for this? i will need something that can retain pretty good low end .. too =)

thanks

if you wanna end the search get one of the big two, the Lovetone Meatball or Mutron III (original). If you can't afford either then go with a Q-tron or Agent 00 Funk.

The 00Funk is a pretty awesome pedal! I've had a Mk. I, and I'm sure that the Mk. II is just as good. (but doesn't have the CV send & return ) Quite an awesome box, but it just wasn't getting enough attention from me.
