WinningDaysA gem for the patient—or the already seasoned
Published on 05/09/25 at 09:01I received this pedal just a few days ago, and where to start? Equipped with two Electro-Harmonix 12AX7EH tubes, it's undoubtedly the wildest pedal I've ever owned. It quickly became my favorite. I tried to tame it with two Sylvania 12AU7 tubes, but that attempt was a waste of energy, both for me and for the pedal.
In conclusion: you can’t master it (and that’s fascinating), but you can’t hate it either. Extremely sensitive, it’s a stainless steel box full of surprises. At the beginning of my search, I wanted to get my hands on a Guyatone Flip Funky Box, but now I’m glad I couldn’t find one.

MGR/BakedElectro-Harmonix Zipper Envelope Follower
Published on 07/22/02 at 15:00Got it used from music store for $200. I got it cause i collect filters.
The sound. It is by far the best sounding envelope filter you can put on a guitar.
Old skool, very tempermental.
Handtraced circuits very EH 70 wich lots of analog love.
This box is the best filter you can find.... forget the mutron III, ibanez AF-9, Line 6 FM4, all of them. I know cause they all sit in a box. Here it used with my band www.freshlybaked.com

moosehermanFat-sounding Envelope filter
Published on 02/01/11 at 20:20This is an envelope filter made by Electro-Harmonix, which is one of my favorite pedal manufacturers. It basically works like an auto-wah or other envelope filter but it has the addition of real tube distortion, which gives it a bit of an edge, and helps make the effect sound fuller and more pronounced while also retaining some of the punch of the original effect.
It has two 1/4" connections and a 9V adapter input (it also can use a 9V battery).
UTILIZATION
This actually has quite a bit of parameters that can be adjusted. The resonance knob controls the size of the filtering effect. The frequency knob adjusts the range of the frequency that the pedal will effect. The Sensitivity knob...…

UTILIZATION
This actually has quite a bit of parameters that can be adjusted. The resonance knob controls the size of the filtering effect. The frequency knob adjusts the range of the frequency that the pedal will effect. The Sensitivity knob controls the amount of the effect.
Underneath these are the master volume, drive, and input gain controls, all of which affect overall volume as well as the amount of extra distortion thrown in. This will give you a far bigger amount of tonal options and also help dial in the right tone.
There is also a switch for the envelope that has "up" and "down" settings, which will give you a higher or lower response, as well as two different modes "trill" and "tron" which will make the pedal behave differently.
SOUND QUALITY
I really like the sound of this pedal. It's got a really cool, quirky, funky vibe to it. In fact, it really does give you a classic George Clinton/Parliament-esque vibe that is really cool. It can go everywhere from a light coloring of the tone to a full on squiggly, funky assault. You can make it sound like it's not even a guitar! There's also the possibility of running it straight as a distortion pedal, which is cool but ultimately not its strongest suit. There's a whole lot of tonal variety. I think the tube really fattens up the sound nicely, which makes it a lot more useful and relevant to the guitar than ordinary envelope filters tend to do.
OVERALL OPINION
I like this pedal a lot. It's a little on the pricey side, but it's honestly better than a lot of the automatic envelope filters out there. While I do prefer to use a pedal that has a rocker (like a wah), this one has such good tone that that is easily overlooked. Definitely not for everybody, but really cool for those who do like it, this is a really great pedal and a stellar addition to the EHX lineup.
