I've a choice of three amp heads, all of which I'm happy to gig. A Peavey probass 500, an early '80s Trace AH350SMX12, and the one I'm currently using most which is a Genz Benz Streamliner 600 - they're going into an EAD Foundation 2x12 (a handbuilt custom cab with a 4.5" upper mid driver and a 1" horn too). It's a very Hi Fi cab, thought I also have a 6x10 combination of Hartke (4x10) and Trace (2x10) and an SWR Triad (1x15, 1x10 and horn) available to use too.
So... If I got myself the MXR Envelope filter and, say a Darkglass B3k and used the built in compression on my Trace head - which has a valve front end that I can push hard - I'm gong to get close, yes?
Food for though. Expensive but I can have hours of fun dicking around with them later, I suppose...
Thanks.

I love the hybrid pre section and the built in dual band compression on my SMX head.
I also stick a octaver into said heads high pass fx loop and keep it on at ALL times just to add some serious beef, you should try it!
As far as a filter goes, I'd recommend the Digitech BSW , it has a lot of tricks up a its sleeve for such a cost effective little pedal.
