Features
In 2017 we finally finished our high-quality circuit board to make more of these, with a better layout and cleaner build than before.
We previously made 100 using real New Old Stock (NOS) MXR circuit boards for original sounds, but we added the third knob and toggle switch so you could get more tones. The UP/DOWN toggle allows those Mutron type reverse Wah sounds. The EMPHasis knob allows more or less extreme tones. Most of these modifications were discovered by the guys on the diystompboxes forum, like Mark Hammer and Steve Giles. Our new circuit board is the same circuit, but should be a higher quality built pedal as it is designed for these mods and had better shielding.
Also we added LED, True bypass, and 9vDC power jack of course.
Very easy to use, unlike many envelope filters which are difficult to set for easy triggering. All knobs at noon usually sound pretty good, then adjust to taste by ear.
SIZE : 2 5/16" x 4 5/16", original MXR size 1290 / 1590B enclosure.
Uses normal 9Vdc power or battery, very little power, well under 10mA.
Get your funk on!!
This pedal is not as "synth filtery" sounding as the Mu-Tron, maybe more like an auto wah.
Works fine into dirt pedals, even a germanium Fuzz like our NKT Sun Face, as it's output impedance is fuzz-friendly.
BASS GUITAR : With the toggle UP and all knobs at noon, it sounds good on bass. You still hear the low end and normal note, like a clean blend, with the envelope filter sound on top of it. You can use the internal trimpot with the toggle UP to get some deep, cool sounds. With toggle DOWN on bass, you get a more intense effect without as much of the normal sound.
Here is the current version with our higher-quality circuit board. It is mounted better and fits better in the case. We also improved the power supply filtering and protection as on most modern pedals.
