    This has a bunch of analogue knobs on for you to play with, as well as presets to set up far more complex parameters than could realistically fit on a pedal....

    Or what about an analogue device with digital control and an analogue interface to that control (FMR RNC springs to mind)?

    Whats wrong with perfect recall anyway?[/quote]
    nothing wrong with it , was actually a pretty good film in its day :)

    can i chime in here and proclaim my love for the fat analog sound of the OC-2 without causing another backlash like i unwittingly did in the envelope filter thread ???

    I can't care less about what technology is being used. If a pedal is made of potatoes and it sounds good... then it sounds good. Even if they're digital potatoes.[/quote]

    its not an argument , just my opinion..
    give me knobs to tweak instead of sh*tty presets to trawl through any day of the week..

As far as I see it, as long as it sounds good, then why should it matter whether it is analog or not? Surely it just makes the job of finding the right sounding pedal that much harder.[/quote]
    not for me it hasnt... but each to their own..
    im with you on the "it must have true bypass" being b******s though!! :)

    Watch some more of the videos explaining it on youtube, there are over 20 different takes on the concept (IIRC) which change over 20 different parameters in the model (that you cant access from the knobs), you then get a bunch of front panel controls over each one.

    Now unless the Enigma actually has over 25 different controls it cant be more versatile than this can it?

    Maybe I'm missing what you are getting at, but every envelope filter/bass/fx setup I've tried has an inherent character, this seems to provide a bunch of inherent characters.

    Plus if the $120 translates as it usually does (to £120) its a remarkably cheap device for the amount of sounds available IMO.[/quote]
    but its digital!

    WAH - bass or guitar?

You can use either the inbuilt envelope follower to control the amount of wah & use the pedal to adjust either cutoff frequency or resonance, thus working in a traditional wah style & still have control over wahing or use the pedal to take control of the wah amount giving control of the amount that the envelope follower affects the sound. You can take a TRS cable from the env out jack & back into any of the inputs that control the 4 parameter knobs letting your playing dynamics have control of more than just the wah amount.

    Downside is it ain't cheap (mines was £150) or small & the expression pedal is an extra £30 (tho you can use just about any brand). But it is built like a tank with nice wooden sides.[/quote]
    i use this same setup.. awesome :)
