Envelope Filter

Envelope Filter

Envelope Filter is a sort of automatic wah wah. It wahs the tone more depending on the attack (how hard you pluck the string). Sounds funky. Jerry Garcia used one a lot on guitar. Flea uses one on bass.

Sounds very similar to wah wah. Maybe "Narcolepsy" by Third Eye Blind.

Figure 4.8. Envelope filter.

NOTE

You can buy, or if so inclined, make, a purely mechanical pedal with a rocker that can control (with a break cable type attachment) any knob on any other pedal.
