Members IamBurnout Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 I used have a Variwah. It was pretty lackluster, and the sweep was very short. I was just posting my first thought. Keep in mind... I like Morley wahs, for the same reasons that most hate them. Huge range, lack of 'throaty' distortion, no scratchy pot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THeLoveGun Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 Guilty pleasure. Line 6 Otto Filter. does have some slight(!) tone suckage, but works really well for my setup. 1 of the 3 main settings is well worth the price.Good tweakage too! decent team player.

Members Hiwatt Bob Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 Moog MF101. if you get the CP251 and an expression pedal or two, you could get wah-like sounds, phasers, random filter bloops, and other such amazing sounds. MOOG!! one of the best sounding filters out there, if not the best. and the CV options can transform this pedal into much more than just an evelope filter--add an expression for a wah (both a conventional one & extreme one); add a cp251 for sample/hold (seek wah-ish) sounds, and all ranges of LFO modulated filter sounds. price sounds like it's an issue though. i've got a Dod FX25B (apparently has a little wider freq. range than the 25), and it's pretty great sounding. it's been rehoused, but i have zero issues with mine.

Members elxchino Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 How about a Prometheus? Never played one, but the demos sound pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members puretube Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 May I suggest the E-H TUBE ZIPPER ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wjbratcher Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 sometimes you can stretch $75 into a big-box q tron. One time I bought a q tron and a bass microsynth from some dude for $75. He seemed normal, too, but in retrospect, that seems like too good of a deal . . . Anyway, I don't see how you could not like a q tron if you like the sound of envelope filters. The down mode is so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members puretube Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have one of those Bi-Filters got it used for the price of a new Q-Tron + the Bi-Filter was discontinued too soon, you don't see these things for sale too often, I like the slow filter on that thing, you can get like a sweep down that lasts for 30 seconds and than sweeps up again. Yep, it`s a Mike Beigel-design for E-H; luckily I could get one "new in box" at the time... sweet sweeps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reddt1 Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 Maybe I sold my Q-Tron for too little, but I don't care. I hated it. Maybe mine was defective, but there was not a musical sound to be had in it. Same with the FX25B I sold ... so blah. I haven't replaced them with anything yet, but hopefully I'll have a good one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hilikus8 Posted June 11, 2009 Members Share Posted June 11, 2009 I want a FX25, never tried one though, weird.the Digitech Bass Synth is pretty awesome with guitar, envelope mode is very tweakable and all around useful, plus you get 6 other types of filter fun, I'd get one but I just wanna try what else is out there, there's the Ibanez SB7 which looks pretty cool as well, and all of those you can get for less than a 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted June 11, 2009 Members Share Posted June 11, 2009 soundclip of FX25 it's not a bad envelope filter IMO, the bypass sucks, I rehoused mine and TB'd it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
