Meaning as you go from Lo to Hi the Intensity knob Maxed on a lower frequency click equals the Intensity at Minimum on the next higher click. This comes in handy when trying to dial in an optimal Static filter frequency and helped me realize a continuous frequency range rather than 4 separate ones. I didn’t graph this out but that’s what my ear hears. And compared to some other filters, my Meatball clone can take a lot stronger incoming signal. Don’t be afraid to feed it more volume, you may get more range out of the Sensitivity knob. I rarely have mine maxed. Interesting, thanks. Yes my bass signal is quite hot actually but this particular sound is great with super high sensitivity because you get a lively bubbly sound with the resonance right up. Here is my normal setting which matches the mutron: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have dedicated pedals for that so I’m not suggesting to use a Mutron 3 for that BUT it may be able to serve a secondary use in that function. Adding resonance at the cutoff point gets you into part of cab sim territory. I figured this out with the Meatball clone I have. I could use that thing on ANY board even if an envelope filter sound wasn’t required. Is that next on my build list?! or a 00funk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the big Qtron and microtron amp gain and envelope gain can be separated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets a little juicier than the Meatball and can get wackier. It is also capable of a slower sweep that sounds really good. The PastFX 101, 00Funk and Meatball are the three filters I’m keeping in my arsenal; they seem to cover a lot of ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s when things get really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s when things get really fun. I don’t really use fuzz with the filter. Sometimes octave but mostly on its own. Yeah the grey one does gated, good fun but again not a sound I use. For more synthy sounds I use the Bassballs, palm muted and low sensitivity it sounds amazing for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mutron build was mainly as I’ve got a C4 and that can do everything fine… but then an analogue octaver blew it out the water, would a analoge filter? I was so tempted by the pf101 but at 4x the price I figured I could test it on a diy build Edited August 17 by LukeFRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also cap at 6kHz (Artifakt is full range). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot get any filter on the C4 to sound good for me, that's why I ended up buying a spacial Delivery which is fantastic, EBS IQ still my fave though (2nd gen, not the first or the latest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japhet Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Having had most of the main protagonists over the years I'm very happy to have recently acquired an Aguilar Filter Twin off of this forum. Had one a few years ago and should never have sold it but something shiny must have caught my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st version (sans true bypass) doesn't trigger well, and has a tiny volume jump, the latest blue label model just doesn't sound the same, and resonance on full still doesn't give the HI Q sound, although the filter modes are handy.
