Yeah, envelope filters, those critters scare me a little. At least my Prometheus does, cause I get the feeling I can't control that beeeeyatch. It does some other things that I like a lot but the envelope filter settings are mostly wtf. I play like plinki-plonk and nothing happens and then suddenly outta nowhere it goes WHOOOSH and that freaks me out. I wouldn't ever use that under circumstances that require control of what you're doing, like rehearsal, writing, shows or jamming out.

why do they make it so hard to bring the funk? ;~;

WHAT?!? Kayzer fearing an effect? THIS CANNOT BE!!!!!!!!

Besides, you've already played with the Snazzy stuff - I would have thought you'd have a PLL or two by now.

hehe, its more like a fear of a problem with a very expensive pedal and dont have any legit warrenty but i was close buying that set of schumann stuff that was up on ebay.com a couple of month ago!

This is pretty reasonable. I'd hate to be the poor repairman that attempts to fix a fritzy PLL!

I'd have to go with Wah as well. I'm just scared I'll sound like Jimi Hendrix or Slash when I use one instead of sounding original. I had one for a bit and even used it at a concert. I just can't stand in one place like that. I feel geeky.

Don't use it for the entire song? That's too much wah anyway.

Ever played a Groove Regulator?
It brings the funk.

I lack the funk. But I bring the noise.

you can always just use it as a tone filter. you get a really neat tone with a neck humbucker with almost all the tone off, mild fuzz, and the wah rocked back. its also a good way to filter harmonics in and out. thats one way to use a wah without standing in one place.

Wahs also bother me. I can't stand still for even a moment, so even a brief period of wah is too much. I haven't had much luck with envelope filters, they always seem to be triggered. Also, i'm not a fan of Boss pedals. Don't know why. Or, pedals that are intended for just distortion. They just never sound good to me, so i end up just using an OD cranked, or a massive boost pedal.

This, always this.

wah scares me because i don't want to "kirk hammet" our songs by using the wah in every one of them... but i think i can handle it now... i used to be a massive wah junkie in the past then i didn't have a wah for a year and now it seems OK

i'm also scared by ring mods... i seriously haven't had a chance to try one so i don't know if they're my friend or an enemy...
(the only ringmod-ish experience was with my recently sold Green Ringer clone... but i hated not to have a chance to control the dissonance)
