Aussiephoenix Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I have re-acquired one of these not long ago, (the original green version with 2 knobs), and only remembered now why it is that I sold the previous one... I feel that it's uncontrollable... when the "wave" is at its extremes (be it highs or lows) its just too damn loud in comparison to its non-active sound... (difficult to explain this) I'm looking to get a replacement. something that isnt too expensive, no, no boutique pedals please... basically what I want is something that does give me that funky env filter, but something that keeps the volumes kinda steady... or not too over the top. has to be deep. (love that deep env filter sound) and a nice long sweep. what do you recommend? know where I can hear some samples? Cheers. Aussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 have you tried the EH micro Qtron? some complain of volume spikes, but i've not experienced it. you can normally find them around the £65 -£70 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_C Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I liked the b version of the Dod, because you can blend the original signal and a) not have such big volume spikes and not lose all the low end of the signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Get a limiter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Aww I loved mine but found it sounded GREAT with my then current bass (Marleaux) but not very nice with my others. It seems to work better with single pickup designs. Since selling mine I now get my kicks from my Bass Pod which does a superb array of filtery goodness. I have samples of my FX25 and my Pod settings I will post when I get my computer back. Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Get a Compressor and a small TB loop. Stick the filter and compressor in the loop. You can then kick in the compressor to tame the volume at the same time as kicking in the filter. That way you get consistent levels, with a filter you like. Would probably cost the same as a filter that would suit your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Not necessarily, you might have to compress it too much for your liking, to get rid of the volume spikes. A dedicated comp in a loop with the filter would work, but, you don't really want to go to that amount of effort/expense do you? Actually, a good one would be the behringer limiter/enhancer, 'cos it's very cheap and will deffinitely do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
