Hello guys,

I found that I really like the Moog MF-101 Low Pass Filter.
But my pedalboard is HUGE already, so I am looking for other smaller size envelope filter.
But here is no envelope filter for me to try out. So I am going to ask for advice and your experience.

What's I am choosing between are:
Moog MF-101 Low Pass Filter
ToneFactor(Mojo Hand) Analogue Filter 442
Maxon AF9
Emma DiscumBOBulator

Which one should I go for? or take the huge Moog?

Thanks

Wow, all of you guys recommend AF-9!!

EMMA DiscumBOlator and Tonefactor 442 are Subtle sound? If so, I would not go for them.
I found some demo of them but I can't really clarify.
I want to try them all out but there are no dealer of them here:(

The EMMA's definitely more subtle, haven't actually tried the Bottomfeeder/442 so can't comment.

I'm pretty happy with my AF-9 however, the samples I've heard of 3Leaf Audio's Groove Regulator have gotten me GASing for it. The fact that it's got a control for "decay" solves one of my few complaints about about my Maxon (another mild one being that there's no volume control for unity gain). It's made by one of our own TBers.

Hi
I have six filters
Moog 101
E~X Q-tron
Chunk Systems 00funk II
Guyatone BR2
DOD fx 25
Sovtek Bassballs

The moog is on the board, it just kills soundwise and my band mates keep saying "now that's the sound!" so there it is. The 00funk can get in the area and is much more versatile but it is hard to dial in and isn't as well warm and juicy, the DOD is juicy but the attack speed don't work well on the songs I use a filter on, the Q-tron distorts easily and isn't a bottomy as I like, same with the BR2 although it's grittyness is part of it's charm, the bassballs is a bassballs and only works for getting basballs types of sounds.

Subtle is exactly what I'm looking for. Any thoughts on the Boomstick Bottom Feeder vs. the 442?

I was under the impression that the 442 was more for guitar and that the 442 Red (the one designed more specifically for bass, which they don't make any more) became the Bottom Feeder?

5sg.

P.S. That shirt DOES kick @$$... You could send me the link, too! :)

Was under the impression that it's basically a rebadge with the Bottom Feeder being the current model.

How about if I want a wet sound? Maxon AF-9 and Moog MF-101, right?

As I know both Bottom Feeder and Tonefactor 442 are based on DOD 440, so both should be subtle, right?

I could not choose which should I go for, for the size Maxon win, but for the sound, I have tried out Moog only... I don't know if Maxon could fit my need.
