From the maker:
Welcome to 3Leaf Audio, home of the fattest, funkiest envelope filter ever created. Handmade in Seattle, Washington, the award-winning Groove Regulator is derived from the circuit of the legendary Lovetone Meatball and enhanced for extra funk. While many competitors are adopting a “more is better” mentality and cramming the most switches, knobs and jacks into their pedals as possible, the Groove Regulator represents the perfect blend of versatility and simplicity. It’s designed to sound good on any setting, without the hours of tweaking required from other pedals. It works with any instrument and is guaranteed to give you the most funk for your buck of any effects pedal out there.

Uh, isn’t it 3Leaf?

I am a total pedal geek. As far as I’m concerned, this is the best thought out pedal that I own. The magic of the Groove Regulator for me is that it is “just right” in so many ways: the number of knobs, the sound at every setting, being able to locate and re-locate great settings, being relatively small in footprint, and having an effects loop! If you are a person who wants to approximate a universe of funkiness, put the Groove Regulator on your board and add a Subdecay Prometheus, an octave pedal (I like the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe) and some fuzz! Soooo much fun!!!
