      Analogman is tame and lame compared to this. Sound totally different. Doesn't have that growl. I'm guessing different chips?🤔

    I've had this pedals since 1992. Tip: A compressor before it can be used to contour the envelope. you can use a tremolo before the envelope filter and have it slowly sweep the filter on long note drones, even synth... this pedal has more uses than just the wah like effect!

  • @markhammer643
    @markhammer643 6 років тому +6

    I bought one of these back in the late 70's, and for years it was my favorite auto-wah, chiefly because it was the only one on the market with variable attack. That allowed it to be matched to the feel and tempo of a song better. I had a Fernandes Funky Filter (licensed Mu-Tron III clone at the time), but the MXR was my preferred unit. I used it in conjunction with my Univox Uni-Comp compressor and MXR 6-band EQ to get a reasonable decent "reverse tap" tone.
    Much like early Phase 90's, the earliest issues of the Envelope Filter used component values to get a bit less filter resonance. I sold mine in 1980, but bought a second one around 1986, and that issue had a little more emphasis in the filter. I currently have a pair of clones I made, with adjustable resonance, hi/lo range, and up/down sweep direction. The Auto Q that MXR briefly marketed was a kind of hot-rodded version of the Envelope Filter, as is the Emma Discombobulator.

    Hey Andy .. the choice of the Grateful Dead’s “ Estimated Prophet “ from their sublime album “Terripin Station” is a great choice to demo the MXR Envelope Filter ! Your rendition sounds a little square however being that the original songs time signature is 7/8. ☮️🤓

    Yes, envelope filter review, I know. That TS7 in the background sticks out. I had one! There must be a mistake. I hardly ever see pedals I have or have had in a reverb video. Maybe those pedals in the background represent a pedal spectrum pallet Reverb sellers have to offer, expensive boutique pedals to a first affordable drive pedal. Andy is awesome as always!

    my time comin' any day!!... as a kid, a real Mu-tron just wasn't obtainable. I found one of these MXR's... still have it today... its definitely not more mellow than a mu-tron which I have now.. the MXR has a grimey grwol to it.. which can actually be cool at times... whereas the haz labs Mu-tron, which like the original, is a much smoother down sweep...this difference is most notable when you hit a sustained chord..like the opening of Shakedown.. but the envelope response on the MXR is a little more excitable than the mu-tron which needs to fed just right.. so for single note picking, its a little more cooperative
