Mmmmmm, Xero. I could play TAFM->Xero with bass chords allllllll day.
i find the Prometheus DLX very tempting for the various step filter functions, but there's something about the sound of the regular envelope filter function i don't care for that's difficult to quantify. i think it's a bandwidth thing...to me a lot of EFs get kind of thin in the upper part of the sweep because the filter cuts off too much of the lows/lower harmonics, and you can't adjust out that absolute limit or the extremeness of the shelving of the bandpass filter. i can see the argument for that style of filter, because it makes the effect more defined. but to me it takes a lot of the subtlety and musicality out of it. also, it's just too clean. i like my filters with a little analog grain and grit in them, and my modulation all ECM and shit.

I think Malekko's sounds pretty nice. But I'm not much into them. I think it would be really cool if someone made a standard wah pedal that could also change to a standard auto wah.
Xero made me sell my DOD 545a (then I bought it back) Eric! Typed out a well written description that I hope I can find. Def looking to hear the new 3leaf.
