mcnach Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have been trying a bunch of envelope filters over the past couple of years, and the Aguilar has resisted... until today. I have owned a few of the usual suspects: DOD FX25, 3Leaf Proton, MXR BOD, Source Audio BEF and BEF Pro, various Boss and others. Some better than others, in my opinion. Except for the MXR, I think I liked every other pedal a little bit. But Lately I only had the Source Audio BEF, all others were gone. Now, a Filter Twin appeared for sale, and I went for it... and I'm liking it a LOT. It's the first Aguilar pedal I really like too I didn't get along with their Agro and Octamizer pedals, but this one is just simple and it sounds good no matter what I do. The sweep perhaps could be a bit more pronounced, but whatever, it sounds really really good. I like what adding the second down filter does to the sound... Why did I wait so long? I love the BEF, but the large footprint makes it a bit of a pain sometimes. The Filter Twin will do the job nicely in a smaller package. And it plays really well with overdrive/fuzz... Now I want a Jazz bass in the same colour as the pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyclaret Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Did the source audio get the chop then? I have a manta which sounds pretty good. Got a filter twin as part of a trade recently and haven't even tried it out unbelievably, put it straight in the sale section. think I may need to give it another go before carelessly moving it on.

[/quote] No, I still have both the SA BEF and the Filter Twin. I like both a lot, and they're different enough to make it hard to choose... but at the same time I'd be happy with either, I am sure. I'd like to try the Manta, as it may just solve my issue with the size of the SA BEF and it seems to have a few extra functions, but I haven't found one to buy sh to try.

ordep Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 use to own a filter twin and it is still my favorite envelope filter for a pure envelope filter sound. sits in the mix really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
