Way back in the late '70s I bought my first pedal; an EHX Triggered Y-Filter. Used it in some basement bands, but in the '80s I gave it as an extended loan to the bass player in the band I was in. Long story made short: I met up with him tonight at a bar/club/thingy and he still has the pedal, it still works, and he is more than happy to give it back to me!


Hope to get it soon. Perhaps over the holiday break.

Karma is a powerful force.

The funny thing is, he had no memory of where he got it; it was just "always there" as if it had materialized out of nowhere. He was quite shocked to hear it was mine and how I bought it at Grinnell's in downtown Detroit http://buildingsofdetroit.com/places/grinnell years before he ever used it. I'll post pics when I get it back.

Sounds like a nifty pedal. I dig long-lost-gear stories.

I know that all of the stuff I lent out 20 years ago (a new Ibanez bass, Alamo amp, misc pedalz...) are long gone never to be seen again. A buddy did give me a Tubeworks Real Tube pedal back in the 80s that I still have and use time to time. I offered it back to him recently but he wants me to keep it.

Thats a rad story. Funky filters are fun.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure my first amp, a Silvertone harp amp from the '50s (all tubes, of course) that I let someone borrow is long gone as well. But that's OK as it was a hand-me-down from another friend.

The Y-Filter is actually kind of horrible when used for it's original purpose; a kind of auto-wah-ish guitar pedal, but when used as more of a synth module or a drum processor it's lots of fun.

One of my friends just found his old y-trigger filter and electric mistress.

never heard of this y filter. sounds cool!

I guess this explains why you are constantly talking to me about envelope filters

Now if only I could find my electric mistress which I sold for peanuts back in the '80s

Got it!





The knob is new. I need to find an adapter as a new battery isn't working. I was told the unit still works, though.

As soon as I can find an adapter and verify that it works.
