Aaaah, those clips sound phenomenal. Thanks, guys - It was a pleasure hearing you explore our pride and joy envelope filter. And you MUST publish the preset you created for the opening clip, bassists are going to want that. :-)

[@thebassmatrix]

sourceaudioeffects Thanks! i loved playing your pedal, i think i want to get one myself!

[@sourceaudioeffects]

@@thebassmatrix Excellent bass playing, Philipp! Loved it.

[@jdch28]

So... Did someone ever publish that intro preset? Asking for a friend.

[@aussieranger2168]

Keep making bass ones source we want like a range where it's 17 walls full of different effects I believe you're up to the job

[@SPaulAndrewMaertens]

Thank you for making this! I was considering the Funk Machine and the Dusk pedal and your post helped me decide on this. It just legitimately sounded great on bass and I'm excited about the prospect of being able to use an expression pedal as a bass wah and all of the other options in there as well. I also think it'll be cool to make some really nutty sounds.

[@jamminwithjambo7729]

Yaaaah Yaaaah... cool sounds!!! I love your presentations. It is so fun to listen and watch your manner. You are always welcome sir.

[@johnnyroastbeef3048]

I really like your new bass player that demonstrates all your pedals. Somehow I think he knows which notes to hit where are other demonstrators don't. Watch your channel a lot, keep this bass player.

[@kodykindhart5644]

Love that face when you nail a crazy Rythm part and can’t stop to enjoy it really but your face is holding on for dear life 🥸

[@bobkos333]

Love your enthusiasm and your honest reviews! Please keep doing this!

[@bassically7882]

Just got mine today. This thing sound amaaaazing! Totally fills the void of my old stolen Mu-tron.

[@och70]

I want the music in these clips to be the soundtrack to my life.

[@Metalholic210]

Lmao. It works so well.

[@beachbuggyonfire]

Gregor, thanks a lot for these videos. Always makes me smile - and buy even more gear 😂 Thumbs up!

[@mokotoko6004]

Pedal is cool but what is the brand of that fan fret bass? That bass is gorgeous!

[@euphoricguitars8154]

Great video, bass playing and review. Boy those tones are great. We are still hungry for you to publish those presets!? is it too late?

[@jameslewis2635]

I can't think what the name of the song is, but there is an old Parliament (Bootsy Collins) song that this would suit quite well with a touch of overdrive.

[@MrClassicmetal]

Flashlight

[@mikechecka292]

If you're watching this and thinking about getting one,DO IT. The pedal is worth the price out of the box with the factory presets. The ability to load user presets from the website makes it a steal. Plug it into the editing software and you'l understand that it is indeed the ULTIMATE FILTER (and I have owned almost all of the legendary envelope filters)

[@Romain_Chafore]

Better than mxr m82 ? Better than ebs bassiq ?

[@lluisperegrino7832]

If I had to get either this or the C4, which one should I get?

[@8Junio76]

Beautiful bass

[@TheHexeract]

can you hook up an expression pedal to control the freq?

[@simaojoseph]

You gotta love the def knob.

[@gonzalotrejos3556]

It seems with Source Audio that with 4 pedals you can have an entire pedalboard with everything under the sun. They put so much stuff in their pedals... I have the Aftershock and the C4, and already replaced 5 other pedals.

[@josephromano7867]

Hello can you tell me if i purchase this Spectrum intelligent filter pedal do i need to purchase the Envelope pedal also?

[@rome8180]

I don't play funk music and normally have no interest in envelope filters. This changed my mind though. I can see using this in all sorts of genres.

[@scatnav]

This is when you don't choose the funk, but the funk chooses you 😉

[@vaughnmiller3896]

Sounds like a Moog underwater. Kind of funky, I think with some tweaking I could work with this...

[@rossco420]

This pedal is crazy, it’s got to be expensive, sounds phenomenal 👍👍👍👍👍

[@agitatorjr]

It's really not that bad. Less than $200 new

[@aussieranger2168]

I actually put source audio up there with the coolest and best bass pedals

[@leandrogasperotti3333]

Since i learn about source audio.. i love all the pedals.. this one in particulary.. but they are so expensive (at least for me).

[@simchabinyamintzuf6422]

Great review. I’m looking for an envelope auto wah for my keyboard. I was considering the boss aw3, and then I saw this. How do you think this compares with the sound of the boss aw3 for keyboardists? Thanks :)

[@mrlotuss]

Great channel! Great review! Would you recommend getting this pedal if you have the C4? Do you think I could get the same sounds with the C4 and MXR Envelope Filter?

[@basstheworldofficial]

allegedly the C4 can do everything this one here can do, but I haven’t made this comparison

[@SirSelby]

You can get the exact same sounds with the C4. The C4 can run all spectrum presets. I did not know this before I bought the Spectrum, or I would have bought the C4. The C4 is basically the spectrum with way more synth features. Both are great pedal though.

[@ioanmilenov5231]

What brand is the bass that you guys used in the video? Looks really cool.

[@basstheworldofficial]

That’s a Dingwall SuperJ

[@silverdroid]

Would like to see a review of the Mu-Tron Micro-Tron III.

[@choralpedus]

Already exists, it's called Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder. Great review, sounded great.

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

Did I hear that right? This can be a phaser pedal too?

[@Wally55223]

Any thoughts on this or the C4 if you were only to get one? I assume the C4, because the filter is built in already...

[@basstheworldofficial]

Definitely the C4

[@firesalt]

Awesome video and pedal. Do you think the C4 does everything this one will?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Not everything, but it has a powerful envelope filter section

[@eloann]

"The C4 can do everything the Spectrum does" (a reply to a comment on Source Audio's Facebook page)

[@basstheworldofficial]

I stand corrected

[@TheHexeract]

What's better the c4 or the spectrum

[@protocosm]

Are all the sounds of the Spectrum available in the C4?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Allegedly yes

[@walkerofbass]

I’m a little overwhelmed with this one. Can it do a down sweep “ow” effect?

[@ishancooper]

Was here to find the same answer

[@stephennorthup2083]

Great review.He nails the PFunk filter sound. I bought one back in February and still just scratching the surface. Could you post the settings that are used on the Spectrum? Thanks

[@louierubio]

Still having trouble?

[@jonathanfrieze8497]

How do you like the pedal after 6+ months?

[@walterwhite8334]

What is the difference between the c4 synth and the spectrum? They seem to share software and wiring diagram, they could be programmed into each other, right?

[@basstheworldofficial]

The C4 has more synth options

[@walterwhite8334]

@@basstheworldofficial so the c4 can do everything that the spectrum does?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Allegedly, yes. I haven’t checked that

[@g-man7687]

They share presets on the neuro app so if have one of these pedals don’t get the other would be my advise The same is true with LA Lady and king maker also the mercury flanger and Gemini chorus WOW !!!!

[@gdaddy2796]

Can you use Spectrum created sounds on the C4?

[@g-man7687]

Yes

[@Cguy7]

Sounds dope! ID on that bass?

that’s a Dingwall Super J

[@u2dva]

It's a little Super Mario inside :-)

[@Meypelnek]

Just replaced the C4 with the Spectrum on my pedal board. It just feels more convenient to program but has all the essential features of the C4. Plus the community patches are so much more usable than those for the C4.

[@spencerherbert3585]

I did the same thing about a month ago and sold my C4. Spectrum sounds so much more useable and it can nail so many tones.

[@Furvolte]

Really? As a C4 user I am curious to know what it brings knowing it is possible to load sprectum preset in C4. Why is it easier to programm?

[@thenashvillebassmentor594]

Alright Gregor, it’s been a year....whatcha think now?

[@Putteknyck]

What bass model is that? Looks neat

[@Medeses13]

Looks like a Dingwall Super J but Im not sure without seeing the headstock

It is!

It seems to be a perfectt studio tool for all kind of Pop, Funk, Hip Hop and and...produktions up to progressive Metal and Free Jazz. The posibilties and options are amazing.

[@basstheworldofficial]

no problem. just sound good and be confident with what you're doing. No one will have an issue with your effects.

[@1okanaganguy]

I learned long ago to stay the hell away from bass effects...but, this one is nice. I can actually see using it on stage. Good vid, tx

So the price difference between this and the C4 is $50. Would I pay $50 for a synth pedal that I kinda don't care for? Nah... plus I also lose that purple & gold coolness factor =P

[@luishungar1037]

This or funk machine ?!!?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Both sound great. The Spectrum is more versatile. The Funk Machine is a simpler analog design, which has its own appeal for purists

Its important for company's to be willing to support the bass community and help there customers get good input on there products. I've watched a few of there accounts product review and there vert poorly explained. There probably worried you guys will give too honest of a review and the feed back wont be good on there end. Any way thank you for sharing your experience and responding much appreciated keep up the amazing reviews you guys are so help full I've bought almost all my gear based off your review and I've loved every thing so far!

[@markbass354]

Gregor it sounds under water

[@TheJimboe11]

All good and well but I don’t really hear any of these effects for bass used on any songs. Before everybody shoots me, I’m sure there is so i see them as gimmicky. Some of the sounds sound like it would be fine in an opening tune to a kids cartoon or something lol. Apologies to anybody that disagrees. !!!

[@basstheworldofficial]

You need to listen to more funk, obviously 😉 Also we exaggerate here to make clear what these effects sound like. In normal music productions envelope filters are being used much more subtle

[@TheJimboe11]

Thanks very much for the reply. I understand what your saying but them exaggerated sounds aren’t selling the pedal to me. Why can’t you have realistic decent sounds played along to a band rather than what you have done. Anyway much respect to yourself and others who take time to put these videos together

[@basstheworldofficial]

They way I like to use envelope filters isn’t working for such a demo. You can barely hear it and I think that wouldn’t make a good demo. This video was rather meant to show how much fun this pedal can be. At the end, what bassists will do with it might be a completely different thing. All I can hope to do is create interest in the topic

[@imabuddha]

There are some other videos you can find that demo other sounds that might be more usable. Personally I want one of these because it can do the job of an octave pedal as well as filter.

[@TheJimboe11]

John Mifsud yeah I checked out some other demos and it sounds great. My gripe was some of the silly sounds they used. Much respect my friend

[@Scoots1994]

Don't let your guitarist play with it, you won't get it back.

[@czarpaul01]

Cool pedal, especially for funk. Notice you have recently started doing quick in and out zooms during the videos. It’s nauseating. Pls stop.

[@Idontlikethisever]

Looking on the bass gives me eye cancer 😂😂😂

[@howlbassguitar8829]

Getting tired of watching stupid Paddles

[@basstheworldofficial]

How about not doing it?

[@durchreiser6573]

Much too complicated. Not for bass specialised and so many sounds that are useless for bass.
