Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Just watching a clip on You Tube of Bryan Beller demoing the MXR Bass Envelope Filter and it sounds awesome. Any one got one or tried one as I am interested to know if it really does sound that damn funky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Can't help you with that one - though Molan asked the same question recently: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88930&hl=envelope"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=envelope[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I had one on order for ages and cancelled it as they seem to be taking ages to get to the UK. I see they have them at guitarguitar now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Effectpowersupplies.com also have them in stock - they sound great on the web but I then realised that he was also using a slight overdrive in the sound which was making it a lot more funky! Can't decide between buying one of these, the 3 Leaf Groove Regulator or a vintage Mu-Tron!!!

Ghost_Bass Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have the 3Leaf and i love it. Sounds as good as the youtube clips, no tricks! I would like to try the MXR though... anyone has them both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I got one from effectspowersupplies - their shop- yesterday. It really is as good as it seems. I'd given up on finding a filter that I really liked and it turns the m82 is that filter for me! Richard warned me whilst I was there that those that try it buy it, and he was right!

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Can you give us any demos? Would like to see if it nails the Flea/Stuart Zender sound?

dudewheresmybass Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 gunsfreddy - i don't have facility to do demos unfortunately mate, and I'm still playing with sounds. I managed to get a reasonable flea ish tone from it in the shop, but that definitely bears further investigation. Which Zender tone are you after? any songs in particular?

If you can´t find a used one you'll have to order it from 3Leaf. In their site they have links for distributors but when i bought mine there was only two, one in US and another in Australia if i'm not mistaken... with shipping and customs taxes mine costed 225€... Didn't regret it at the moment but now the new MXR looks like a cheaper and very reliable option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're great guys, I might hook up with them on my next day off/free saturday Definitely gonna give the MXR a go, I've currently got a boomstick bottom feeder, but I think something a bit more tweakable would be more up my street.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Finally took the plunge and bought one before I went on holiday and only just had 5 mins to try it out at home with my basses - all O can say is WOW!! This is without doubt the best sounding envelope filter that I have had yet and I have gone through a few now! It nails the Mu-Tron type sound and is so responsive to finger style playing - a really funky peice of kit. If you have been think of getting one then just do it as I promise you will not regret it!!!

Since there is a summer sale for the 3Leaf Groove Regulator right now (till july 13th) i just ordered one this morning .... for 179 U$ + 30 U$ shipping + x € taxes/customs. Spencer, the guy from 3Leaf, is a great guy to deal with, he is also an active poster on talkbass.com ... i have much sympathy for those small one man(?) boutique pedal producers. BUT the MXR M82 will be my second choice sometime from all the reviews i have read, heared and seen. I believe only one envelope filter on the board is never enough, each sounds very different, i love to have choices and i can never afford the vintage Mu-Tron III.
