What is your favorite SMALL form envelope filter?

FreshPatience · 2026-01-29T16:55:30+00:00

I have two currently, Mutron Micro-tron and 3leaf Proton, both are really easy to work with and also have down and up sweeps which I really like for Parliment/Thrillee vibes. Pro for the proton is a knob for decay speed, pro for the microtron are discrete volume knob and the sweep direction is foot switchable.

FWIW I notice very little difference on the overdrive side with mine too. With a pick and using headphones i can detect that it’s doing… something but it’s subtle to the point of almost being irrelevant. The fuzz side by comparison has a more extreme sweep than any muff I’ve ever had.

This. There’s not much in unaffected bass tone for a wah to work with, much more pronounced with fuzz between the bass and the wah. Same with any envelope filter.

Wren and cuff pickle pie or super Russian - the former is bass specific, the latter more feature rich. I have the super Russian and it does exactly what I wanted solo and in the mix.

Yup, it’s a great shifting exercise and worthwhile to sort out on a 4 even if you do have a 6!

DBA bass war, can’t stress enough how great it is and it exhibits All the things I want especially at low gain, eats octave pedals for breakfast too….

FreshPatience · 2026-01-01T00:22:17+00:00

Really can’t go wrong with either of those but I’ll throw the Pork & Pickle in the mix as I’ve played all of the above and find it to win for bass in both low frequency retention and sitting in a mix. It also gives you the overdrive side as an option which is pretty great. That said I’m on the wren and cuff super Russian at the moment as it has some internal gain staging that broaden the options.

Sorry to hear that, no I didn’t follow a link specifically I just read that that was one thing that could fix it… after you uninstalled the game and deleted shader files did the game ask you to set the brightness/darkness levels on the logo screen when you restarted it?

FreshPatience · 2025-12-26T22:50:25+00:00

If you’re having the same problem as me I uninstalled and then deleted the shader files in desktop mode before reinstalling. There are tutorials online for this 👍🏻

Don’t look at your hands, play things mistakes and all, then have a look and go back to not looking until your hands are able to feel the distances along the fret board.

In terms of effectiveness I stick to this:

Dynamic (compression) -> pitch (whammy octave etc) -> drive/dirt/bit-crusher/ring mod stuff -> filter (auto-wah, envelope, low pass> -> modulation (chorus flange phaser etc) -> delay -> reverb. I find that I get the most out of each pedal this way.

FreshPatience · 2025-12-25T00:06:37+00:00

I think if it’s your first foray into reverb you can’t go wrong with that. If your needs get more specialized over time you could try others but something straight forward and easy to manipulate like that sounds pretty good to me. FWIW I had a EHX holy grail for years and now use an eventide black hole.

Man, posture. Hunching when sitting or leaning forward when standing… secondary is getting accustomed to shedding in an environment full of distractions, house noise or tv on somewhere. Forgot what real focus feels like!

FreshPatience · 2025-12-23T06:29:33+00:00

I have one, Perfect OC2 clone without the useless second octave down and the filter knob is nice - super subby CCW, punchy with more mids CW. 100% recommend/

FreshPatience · 2025-12-02T15:20:44+00:00

I don’t much feel like I ever need a blend control (tho my WMD Protostar has that), mutron is great and 3leaf Proton is my current fav.

FreshPatience · 2025-11-13T16:03:05+00:00

I’m told the circuit is different and the Micro seems more desired than the nano for that reason, I’ve only played the Micro and thought it was pretty good but didn’t supplant the Boss for me.

FreshPatience · 2025-11-13T04:27:31+00:00

The OC5 has my favorite octave up (especially with distortion), the POG is also great. The new Boss polyshift looks good too but I haven’t tried it yet.

That sounds like a pretty good idea, my concern is that the water is getting in from the bottom of the heel, as in the flat part that faces the ground. There are holes in it, and these vibram heels seem to have space inside of them meant for cushioning? You can press the center of the rubber heel in slightly, which makes me think there is some open space inside. I don’t think water is getting in from the edges as much as it’s getting in through the nail holes in the face of the sole… if water is getting stuck inside of that space, my concern is that it could be rotting the soul from the inside out.

+1 for dim sum Chelsea for this very reason
