[@rogeriusrex1]

Andy, you are RIDONKULOUS!

[@Ston247]

I own a lot of auto filters. The DOD 440 is just as good as the Boss T-wah. When testing auto filters, you really should judge it by the quality of the decay. Then spank it with some aggressive rhythm guitar to test it's responses. Although auto filter technology has improved over the years, the T-wah, or 440 can't fuck with an Ibanez AF-9. Too vicious. But these are sturdy, reliable (so far) and pretty damn good.

[@leovisser4042]

Yeah but this also less than half the price of the af 9

[@Florida_guy]

Oh wow that sounds like so cool

Actually he uses both for that song, the DOD Envelope Filter and a Electro Harmonix Small Stone, listen to the "I may be paranoid, but not an android" part (where the phaser is).

[@derkbergman]

He definitly uses one during the last solo of Paranoid Android

[@christianc9409]

[@sagecarter2368]

So is this or is this not a completely analog pedal? I've been curious about finding a completely analog envelope filter

[@phantomprism7659]

HELP! I've noticed lately my DOD pedal is acting up. Basically as soon as I turn it on it works really well and is very touch sensitive and has that sweepy wah sound I like. But after keeping it on and playing with it for a few minutes that effect seems to really die down to a point I'm getting no sweepy wah effect at it. It's basically just making my guitar sound really bright and shiney but not that wet slippery effect that it should have.

[@ChrisBren1]

I got one of these to my birthday a couple days ago but the up channel stopped working after ten minutes of playing and the down channel barely made any noise at all unless I played ridiculously hard at which point it would distort the sound beyond recognitionSo I got it back for a replacement and the same problems occurred can anyone help

[@Cnoteblazinitup]

[@zerosoma33]

And the bush is revealed...

[@nathanrogers3582]

Where would you put an envelope filter in the signal chain of your pedalboard?

[@shelton701]

Nathan Rogers Same place as a wah, near the front.

[@Ston247]

Nathan Rogers Auto filters sound better at the beginning of the chain. In front of your compressor and distortion. I'm O.G. funk player.

[@danos1011]

how would i use this for saxophone? possible>>?

[@markhammer643]

Of the top of my head, I'd say no. The thing of it is that the filter won't necessarily sweep unless there is sufficient variation in the amplitude of what you're feeding it. And since a saxophone would generally hold the volume of an individual note relatively constant until you move on to the next one, you wouldn't really get to hear the decay sweep of the filter. Now, if you have variable attack time, that would be a different matter, since the filter sweep upwards (or downwards if reversing the direction) could be slowed down a bit to hear the change in harmonic content. Some horn players will plug into a foot-operated wah-wah, such that one can vary the resonant emphasis independently of the sax volume/amplitude. Strikes me as a more compatible match. Sam Gendel, who has a number of KZbins with Blake MIlls and Pino Palladino, provides some excellent examples of using pedals with saxophone.

[@standupstraight9691]

has anyone tried using this with a compressor before it?

[@mscformeditation]

fuck, excellent

[@frethand101]

I can't speak on how good/bad DOD's quality is on these particular pedals today but I owned two of these in Phaser, one in Compressor back in '97 & the Phaser ped's quickly began malfunctioning along with the Comp pedal completely fizzing out within a few short months.. At the time we were rehearsing 3 days a week with 1-2 gigs a week on top of that & this modal DOD just couldn't cope with the workload.. Meanwhile, both my mid-70's Morley Wah & MXR Phase 100 script that I was using during the same time period are both still fully functioning without any problems so unless DOD improved the formerly cheap electronics that was notorious in this line of pedals back in the day I wouldn't waste my board space on anything from this lineup..

[@crammojophilter]

These are completely re-designed.

[@Daniel-oz1rx]

Did Jerry use this model ?

[@twst1]

mutron i think

[@mikepiercey3845]

Daniel Johnson Jerry used the mutron which is very hard to come by nowadays

[@longkniives]

[@ChrisDeVis12345]

Is this still available somewhere since DOD discontinued it?

[@mastsh12]

A few DIY clone boards are available. I imagine it will pop up again in the near future as Xvive recently re-issued the oddball optocoupler that lies at the heart of it.

[@nickguetti8459]

It's OK, but too bright. The whole idea that "transparency" is a feature you need is the result of marketing lore. The best filter you can get today is the Maxon. It's a filter that DOES color your tone, which is what a filter is FOR in the first place.

[@TG-kc9ue]

+Nick Guetti Two letters: EQ

[@nickguetti8459]

+Zach Martin Why would I change my tone settings or add an EQ pedal for the sole purpose of darkening the tone of a hyped-up excuse to sell a gadget I would only use for some songs? See, this is what happens when you get people who don't actually play much guitar talking about effects. Sure, you CAN do that; you can also choose to have a 200 gallon fish tank instead of a couch in your tiny studio apartment. The most important question, as always, is "Would you WANT to do that, and if so, for heaven's sake, why?" Once I start twiddling knobs I never stop, so it's important for my sanity (not to mention that of my bandmates and audience) that I don't have too many reasons to start. A tinny, overly bright take on an effect that sounded good because of its warmth qualifies as such a bogie. Transparency belongs in government, management and the reasoning of people who create effects (where it's usually lacking) than in the effects themselves. You're trying to AFFECT your tone in the first place: why on earth would you accept "transparency" as a virtue of affectedness? It's like saying, "Mmmm, I just love how DRY that sip of water was." Oh, somebody stop me. You're right, Zach, fewer letters is better. Here's two for you: BS.

[@TG-kc9ue]

[@phantomprism7659]

Finally someone who understands! I see so many positive reviews for this pedal but I think it's shit quite frankly. Way too bright and pitchy. I have to completely readjust all of my settings every time I wanna use this thing which is annoying as fuck. You should be able to set your pedal once and have it sound perfect everytime you plug in and turn it on.

[@nineteen995]

I have this pedal and it sounds awful. Inline or in FX loop it just sounds like distorted noise and almost no way effect.

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

That may be because the signal is too hot and hitting the envelope threshold. Try putting it before dirt pedals or limit the output of dirt going into the DOD until you hear the effect “close”. These sound great once you figure out how they interact.
