Sounds rad, pretty versatile, has envelope down.
Also, I hear tale there's one in your friendly neighborhood ILF b/s/t. :duck:


The emma indeed seems like a good hit!

But what do you mean ILD b/s/t ? Cause I have no idea! :animal:

what other pedal can do this? I don't think a doctorQ or bassballs or something like the typical envelope filters can do this feature?
or am I wrong?
The 3Leaf stuff is good -- I have original MuTron and Meatball and their clones are really good.
also, the SolidGoldFX is good and does reverse sweep

My dear fuzz friends, it seems that the custom made envelope filger is not going to happen.

So now I'm in between the Maxon af 9 (is the cheapest and old skool envelope) and the prometheus (more knobbies, more freakyness)

But I just wonder if the freakyness of the prometheus is really usable in a band? Or is too much out of control?

Prometheus can be used as a simple filter just like the rest of them. It's all dependent on what mode it's set to. It can do a regular up/down envelope filter with the usual controls and the craziness just takes off from there.

It absolutely works and sounds great in a band setting :)

Late to the party but have to put in a vote for the Groove Regulator, it is a monster pedal and sounds great almost anywhere in the chain.

Also like the Robotalk2 and the FM4 is pretty stinkin awesome.

Late indeed, the decision has been made!
And the prometheus is the winner!

You won't be disappointed, it's KILLER.

Stupid question, but you're getting the DLX or regular?
