It's tricky to adjust even with the pedal in your hands and becomes inaccessible if it's anywhere other than on the very right hand edge of your pedalboard.
It's also a fantastic tool for creating unique sounding ambient swells when you let chords ring out.Īll that good stuff said If the Neutrino has a downside it's the tiny recessed sliding switch on the side of the pedal that toggles the direction of the filter sweep. If you want some real funky magic I recommend trying it on a clean setting going into a compressor or go wild and place it after a good fuzz tone for thick and bouncy synth-like rhythms and impossible sounding wah-wah leads. Once your musical ear and picking technique adapts to the dynamics however it's all fun and games from there. Of course there's a unique learning curve to getting the best out of an envelope filter. Once I'd found the sweet spot on the gain knob for optimum response, I tested it using Seymour Duncan Distortion humbuckers - Sounded great! Then the same pickups again in split coil mode - Still sounded great! Then the final challenge - The Dynasonic single coils on my hollowbody Gretsch - Amazingly, it still sounded great! And barely any need to adjust the gain to compensate for the lower output signal. This had me worried seeing as I don't actually own a boost pedal - yet. This being my first envelope filter pedal I had heard people say this type of effect can struggle to respond with low output pickups, and some may find they need a signal boost ahead of them to really make the filter sing. Get those classic Mutron style octo-coupler envelope filter sounds at a fraction of the price (and size!).
