Analog Envelope Filter Pedal Options?

[ck3]

My soon-to-be-former EQD Spatial Delivery sold quickly, so I'm now in search of a replacement. I hope to find something relatively comparable in terms of features with quieter operation.

The noise floor of the Spatial Delivery wasn't horrible, but still a bit too hissy in many contexts for my liking. In spite of the minor noise issues, I really enjoyed how versatile it was and especially liked being able to shift between high, band, and low pass filters. The sample/hold feature was interesting, but seemed to overpower the input signal too much when arpeggiating chords and is not necessary for my brand of cathartic bedroom noodling.

Current options I'm considering include the 3leaf Audio Proton (new/blem unit), Subdecay Proteus (used), and DOD 440 RI (new). My price range is probably up to 170 USD. The filter in question will be processing guitar signals tuned anywhere from Eb standard to Drop E and may occasionally be used in conjunction with my Digitech Dirty Robot. Something in an EHX XO enclosure or smaller would be preferable.

I have an Xvive Wave phaser inbound, which may serve in some capacity as an envelope filter, though I doubt it will do more than bandpass filtering.

I would be open to hearing more about any options that meet my criteria. Thanks in advance to all who respond.

I've been GASSIN' fo' a DOD 440 RI. It's pretty bare bones in terms of features compared to some other pedals you're considering. That's the kinda envelope filter I was lookin' for though. I found somethin' else for about half the price. So, hopefully it'll satisfy my GAS, but I'd say get a DOD. The demos sound great.

Another option to keep an eye out for is a used Mojo Hand Wonder Filter. Seems like it's a nice pedal. It's got a lot more functionality than a simple pedal like the DOD. It's a little larger than what you're looking for however.

Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. I don't really have much experience with envelope filters.

The IE Xerograph Deluxe, while digital, is really nice sounding. A bit more than you're looking to spend though.

… or maybe not? I just looked for one:

The Keeley Neutrino might suit you. I'm sure you could get an open box unit or one on sale for $140-$169.

It has hi/lo options as well as a gain pot.

The Xerograph Deluxe is digital?

Ha, yep, I totally didn't even realize it for the longest time. It sounds so good.

I have a Mutron III that I love. Pretty simple but just sounds perfect to my ears, and I'm not typically an env filter fan.

Are there any good budget mu tron iii pedals out there?

The Noisekick stuff is solid, probably does what it says!

[hotknife]

Yessir! I just finished working with the Noisekick dude on a custom pedal. Dude shot me back with concept art pretty much within the hour and had the thing built, completed and shipped in less than a month. Unreal service.

[rfurtkamp]

Yea, I did one of his earliest obscene custom pedals and it was back to me about six weeks after order.

Think his demo of it is still up.

Noice! ^ That's a rad machine. Liking that stutter trem. I've a feeling Imma pester him for more stuff this year. Really dig the artwork on that Almond Blossom mu tron iii clone too.

[rfurtkamp]

Yea, his art has gotten a lot better over time.

I gave him carte blanche to do whatever within the parameters of "I want these effects, and I want the fuzz to be beyond what you could sell to any sane human"

Dudes, my bad. Was tired last night when I posted and spaced--the one I have is the V. It's way stripped down, but to my ears it does the classic sound perfectly. For more tweakage, obviously plenty more options out there. I got mine for $175 on eBay within the last year.

Id really like to find something that can do crazy sounds with plenty of resonance, lp bp hp options, and up and down filter sweeps. I feel like the mutron is probably capable of this but what else is out there
