envelope filter

[fleaisamachine]

ok i got a DOD extreme envelope filter a while ago and it works fine with my schecter but if i plug my stingray into it, it doesnt have the normal envelope filter sound, its a lot more muted and just kinda mmmmmuuuaaaaaaaaaa, in stead of the normal quick little quackin kinda sound, i dunno how to describe the sound sorry if its confusing. anyone know why its like that or how to change it? or does this mean i should just save up for a Q-tron or somethin more fancy? thanks for the help

Try a Digitech Bass Synth Wah. Great Env filter and Octaver as well.

 

[TheDirtyMoocher]

get a meatball, it will do whatever you want

 

[syciprider]

For $500 it better give me sexual favors too.

Mini Q-tron. THE best effect on the market IMHO.

 

[syciprider]

According to some TBers, EHX has some durability issues with Mini Qs.

What the hell are you people, guitar players?

there as another envelope filter thread a day or 2 ago...

I think it was Dargin that mentioned that sometimes pedals dont perform as well with active electronics (dunno if your other bass is active or not). do a search and see if what Dargin suggested applies to your situation

good luck

I have a DOD envelope filter... not the same model, but I suspect yours has the same issues as mine. The electronics in a Stingray can just overwhelm them. Try turning the volume down on your bass and keeping the eq at the centre detente.

I like to think of myself as a "progressive" bassist. Effects are a blast if not overdone.

C'mon, now Jackson!

Sometimes your envelope gets a little dirty, and filtration is required.

Jack keeps it pure and real.

a lotta times if you use a compressor in front of a filter or ocatve divider you'll have better results. If you ever find an old Boss FT-2 grab it-I don't think you'll be dissappointed.

You will note that I have never claimed to be a terribly exciting bassist.

In fact, I am inordinately proud of my pedestrian/worker bee style*!

[tkarter]

Jack you are plumb exciting as a bass player compared to me.

Is an Envelope filter something that blocks anything but root notes?


tk

 

[phatduckk]

i never use effects either.... i keep it real. LoL

i do have an envelope and distortion pedals etc - but i only bust them out for like 10 minutes every other month when i feel like playing Anesthesia... then i get over it

i agree guys,i like a nice clean punchy sound,however my fellow bandmates like to finish a set with Motorhead's Ace of Spades, so i had to buy a cheap overdrive (Danelectro £19.95 ) just for this one song & i must admit it is fun making such a din every now & then.

most underrated of em all is the boss FT-2 dynamic filter. squelch
