    I've got the Q-Tron [Big Box] for 15 years and it’s a classic! It's the warmest sounding envelope filter you can buy at affordable price. No wonder why. It’s Mike Beigel [creator of the Mu-Tron] baby. The effect has been used by Flea for over 20 years. Flea’s bass tech said he is constantly checking all envelope-filters that come out, and none sounds as warm as the old Q-Tron.

      "Flea’s bass tech said he is constantly checking all envelope-filters that come out, and none sounds as warm as the old Q-Tron." That is a poweful fact! Do the smaller versions of QTron compete against the big one? It's hard to find an old one for sale now.

    Have you looked at the EHX Talking Machine? It has a BassBalls mode, auto-filter mode, and vocal formant modes (like an automated Talk Box). The filter modes can even have their envelopes reversed to sound more synth-like. It includes Fuzz/distortion where you can control the amount of gain and tone. The filter sweep and vocal formants can also be controlled with an expression pedal. It can also do LFO effects where you control the rate and shape of the wave (e.g. triangle, sawtooth).

  • @DavePevsner
    @DavePevsner 4 года назад +5

    Overall great video! Two things I noticed though:
    1, there is a bass-specific version of the Riddle. It's called the Enigma. I have one, and I like it, though I'm having trouble really dialing in the settings.
    2, Did you mention that the Bassballs is not just one filter, but is actually two filters sweeping in opposite directions? That's what gives it the unique sound.

    Awesome video ! Who doesn't like envelope filters on bass ?
    I have built a modded bassballs for myself according to the instructions from Mark Hammer in the effects layouts blogspot.
    The mods certainly add some tonal versatility. Since the bassballs is essentially two filters in parallel , I have moved the internal trim pots that configure the high and low filter to panel-mount . While at it I put a blend control for the two filters and a decay knob. This way you can get a lot more sounds that could not be achievable with just the stock version !

    I just got my hand on the Riddle Q-Balls for guitar (and am using it with guitar). I spent about an hour fooling with the controls, found some ok sounds but nothing that completely grabbed me - if you get what I mean. Any thoughts on some good settings for the Riddle (used with a guitar)? I also have a SolidGoldFX Supa Funk on hand, which can also produce some very nice tones, but clearly doesn't have the depth and versatility of the Riddle.
