I am brand new here, but I have been studying Jerry's playing for some time now. Lately I have the urge to get an envelope filter pedal and have been investigating current production units - specifically EH Q-Tron, Keeley Neutrino V2, and Source Audio Spectrum. I know that none of them are going to sound exactly like Jerry's set up. I am hoping to get in the ballpark, playing at home for my own amusement. I am looking for feedback from people who have these units or have tried them. Going to a well stocked store to try them myself is impractical at the moment. Thanks!
The closest EF to Jerry sound on the current market is the Mu-Tron Micro-Tron IV, designed by Mike Beigel, the same guy who designed the original Mutron III that Jerry used (along with Stevie Wonder and Bootsy Collins). The Q-Tron is pretty close (Beigel designed that one, too.). I haven’t tried the other two.
Bill, tgo
