Envlope Filters

[agalamba]

What would you guys recommend for an Envelope Filter under U$100? What I want in an Envelope is to get a nice and full sounding auto-wah for funky parts. I am playing a Strat into a drri. Thanks!

For less than $100? About any of them in that price range would perform the same, IMO. I'd go w/the Ibanez AW7. Cheap & plentiful.

The envelope filter that's part of the magicstomp ($80 on closeout) is pretty good, and very tweakable.

However, as a bit of warning, my magicstomp crapped out less than a month after I bought it. Good thing there's good return policy.

BYOC sells a clone of the DOD 440 in kit form for $65.
I'd like one for my latent reggae urges.

I tried the Digitech AutoWah but thought it sounded "metalic" and "digital". Right now I have a Boss AW-3 that I use on my "little" pedal board (I have a CryBaby on my "big board"). The AW-3 is OK but there may be better stuff out there... go to a music store like Guitar Center or Sam Ash (where they'll have several brands) and try 'em out and get the one that sounds best to you.... good luck!

That is the problem, I don't live in the US and I have no decent stores around to test gear. I have to buy stuff solely relying on Internet samples and reviews, it is really sad, but it is the only way around here. That is why every now and then I will come up with such stupid questions: I can't demo decent quality gear around here! Thanks for your opinions though.

Sorry to hear that. Well hopefully you can get the info you need from some of us forum members so you can make an educated purchase. What about Internet purchase from MusicansFriend.com? I'm not sure if their return policy works the same for International buyers but here in the States you have up to 14 days to return it for something else if it doesn't work out for you. Good luck...
