Which envelope do you use?

[adam on bass]

I am in search of. Did a search, blah, blah. the EBS stuff looks nice but no sound samples has me a little squemish. I live in a small town and have no way to sample stuff so I am purchasing on line. I like the Electro-Harmonix stuff also (Dr. Q, and Q-Tron). Help a brotha out!

I'm pretty sure the EBS site has audio samples of all their pedals? I've got the Bassiq, MiniQtron, Ibanez AF201 and a Rastop Designs envelope/distortion pedal. Don't ask - I love filters...

I'm goofing around with a Digitech Bass Synth Wah (envelope filter) that was lent to me by a friend.

It's pretty cool, makes all the noises the book says it will, but I'm not sure if the signal's breaking up or getting seriously distorted coming out of it or if it's just supposed to sound like this. I expected, I dunno... I think a smoother kind of sound coming out of it. The battery's new. I can't imagine that my bass is causing it to distort (the batteries in it are new, too).

Eh. It's fun to mess around with but I don't think I'll buy one. For what it's worth, it may be working just fine and I just don't like envelope filters.

if there's one thing the ebs site does well, it's sound samples. On the main menu, under products there's a 'sounds' link - not easy to miss!

ehx.com have samples of their pedals on their as well.

Are you looking for up filter/ down filter / auto wah / all of the above?


lesforprez, how is the Rastop? I've been coveting that one for a while.

Moogerfooger Lowpass!!!. nice tone, variable output (so no jump in volume like the EHX pedals). Up to 4 expression pedals can be used with it.

4 expression pedals you say? The words kill and over spring to mind, although not necessarily in that order.

I just ordered an EBS BassIQ. Thanx guys.

Nah, too damn complicated! Great sounds - when you can find them...

I much prefer my EBS BassIQ.

That is why I went with the BassIQ. Every review I read on all of the pedals in question said it's do damn hard to find the right settings, except the BassIQ. I would rather play than play with knobs all day.
