Initial thoughts:
This is one of the classic pedals that I’eve just managed to miss over the years. I had the chance to scoop up a used one for a great price and figured that meant it was time to give it a run. This is the first in a series of envelope filter reviews that I will be adding to the site, and I’ll do my best to keep the quality extremely high. As always, if there is anything you love/hate/want about these reviews, drop me a line and let me know. The bassballs, having an extremely simple in the controls seemed like a great place to start.
Well I liked it.
I wonder why no one has ever a made a boutique clone.

Probably because it is pretty unique and has pretty constantly been in production by EHX
But it could have more external controls, without going quite as far as Mario’s Twin Filter. I know it’ll never happen, but it’s the boutique clone I’d love to see, and would at least be a change from all the Muff clones.

Something that would be cool with the filter reviews would be to show how the filters play with dirt pedals. I know that I’m on the lookout for a filter pedal, but it would mainly be used in conjunction with a fuzz to conjure up some weird synthy sounds. Just a suggestion.
lookin frward to this mixed in with a peavy 4×12 cab for my tele bass and squier bass. mabey also getting a steelcaster
