Why doesn't MXR make a new envelope filter??

[TrevGrooves]

I am actually using the MXR M-120 Auto Q. It works well for me. I keep thinking about trying/upgrading to another envelope filter, but I have been pretty content. I bet I would love a vintage one.

I just checked it out again for 5 minutes with guitar & I'll try it some more next week, but I can't seem to be able to dial out the nasally-ness of this pedal with guitar. I love it with bass, but now it almost sounds like it's in High Pass mode with guitar.

I haven't compared a lot of filters, so can't really comment there. I had the old Digitech one back in the day which was surprisingly awesome for an old Digitech pedal, and I've used the filters on a number of Boss multi-effectors through the years.

I would describe the MXR as deep and juicy for sure, but maybe a little "slow" as you've said...that might be a good adjective for a feeling that's hard to describe. It's definitely deeper voiced, and quackier than the Boss multi-versions.

I'll have to give it a good listen, haven't used it in a while myself. I think the nasally-ness probably comes from it's deeper voicing, but personally I think it sounds great. I just need funky quack, usually for single low notes, and the MXR surely delivers on that front. I also find it pretty versatile, you can dial in a few different flavors, though I usually find my knobs are set around noon, give or take here and there...

I mainly play a stock 335 through a Blues Jr., and when I'm using the envelope filter I'm pretty heavy-handed with the pick.

UPDATE taken from the Jim Dunlop facebook page... Sounds like we'll get a new MXR filter in the future, but no clue when.

Jeorge is in the early planning stages of a simple envelope filter for guitar. He feels the M82 works for bassists, but there are too many controls for guitarists. So it may be more along the lines of the old one, but not a straight reissue. But, that's not saying we won't do that in the future.

Thats great news! Keep me posted!

Very cool! I would definitely trade the bass model in for a guitar version...

I have one that I found in my closet from the mid 1970s. I think it dated to 1975. I usually hate env. filters but this one sounded like none i have ever heard. The env. following is really crude but the filter sounds amazing.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that'd be a done deal for me too...
