OMFG! Full POG2 Spec and Qballs / 22 Caliber!!!

some filters have fixed resonance/”Q”. High resonance filters are prone to volume spikes. this has been true since the Mu-Tron III. I don’t know what filters you have but the Q-Tron is way higher resonance than, say, a bottom rocker.

Ashdown Bass Envelope Plus
Barge Concepts MB-1 Grinder
Digitech Bass Synth Wah
EHX Micro Q-Tron (only one with said volume jump)
Ibanez AW7 Auto Wah
Mojo Hand Analogue 442 Red
MXR M-188 Bass Auto Q

Ah, now I understand what you’re saying. No, I’m not talking about volume spikes or Q, I’m talking about an overall volume jump. Like, I turn the effect on and it’s an noticeably/audibly louder signal overall than just my bass. Joeinsprings knows what I'm talking about! :)

...I need to hear some more clips (and ones without distortion) to say whether I’d really want it.

D@MN, we’re blocked from Youtube here at work, won’t be able to watch the video til I get home! :(:(:( But yeah, I’d want to hear more than just with distortion too. I've really been jonesing for a 3Leaf Groove Regulator recently, is the Enigma going to give it some competition? I'll watch the video first thing when I get home. lol

While I'd wait to hear the non-distorted signal of the Enigma to be sure, I don't this this will sound like a 3Leaf/Meatball-type filter.

in any case, here's an ehx demo of the enigma/qballs for bass by Jack Conte!

I need to know how it handles a 5-string before I'll get excited.

A quicker and cheaper BMS.;)

...Without the octave up or down. Add a POG2 to it and it might just explode your mind.
