Even though this review was made years ago, it's still the best demo out there. I bought both the envelope filter and the octave deluxe and I'm enjoying making some big dinosaur music. Thanks again bass whisperer!

How time flies - watched this review when it came out 14 years ago, and bought both the bass envelope filter and the carbon copy delay as a result. Already had the MXR bass octave as a result of Ed’s previous review of it. Have enjoyed this pedal trio to bits and all three are still on my pedal board! Thank you Ed for all the amazing reviews and over all inspiration over the years, you’re really one of the best.👍✨

@emosdieslow - I'm pretty familiar with theory, I've written 20 instructional books for Hal Leonard. However, I don't believe that understanding theory is all it takes to be great. While I've spent a lot of time learning it, some of my favorite players don't understand music from that angle. I don't advocate musical ignorance or illiteracy, but I do acknowledge there are different types of intelligence, musical and otherwise.

Well, after all, theory is just there to understand and internalize what us musicians do, and it helps in modelling creativity, but creativity doesn't need theory

Ed is a master. I’ve gigged this pedal. It made a massive impression. What mightn’t come across is how it’s shifts the lower frqencies. It’s a power pedal that absolutely cuts through the mix live. It’s an excellent usable pedal.

@RLHubner - It's a 74 J with a J-retro Preamp. You won't get the exact tone out of your Am Std. Not so much because of the rosewood, but due to the pickup spacing. Mine is 70s, yours is 60s, it does make a difference - but it would still sound nice. Maybe you need to get a Marcus Miller or 75 RI and put in the J-Retro.

Comparing with the ehx, the main drawback of the mxr is the tiny pots : i find it hard to memorize their positions. The ehx concept makes it is easier to control, visualize and reproduce the different levels of effect. The 2 effects are also very different : mxr gives a more modern, controlled, electric sound. Not as sexy as the ehx, but very efficient with larger effect & tone spectrum than ehx. This makes the mxr more complete, and complex to use, in my opinion.

The problem with this effect, and most envelope filters, is that it's impossible to dial in a set tone. There are too many variables that will affect it. The volume, the room, the song, the length of the note, how hard you play -- EVERYTHING will change the tone. And at time it can go from WOOOOF to QuaaaaK with peaks and dips in volume. It's good for recording where you can spend time getting the right setting but I found it unreliable for live playing.

@BassGuitarMag The 3leaf Audio Groove Regulator is an envelope filter that is based on the Lovetone Meatball, although in a smaller and scaled back package. Not to push a product on you but you should look into it if you get a chance. It's impossible to get a bad sound out of the thing.
