Good demo Andy as always 😊 another effect I don’t need but now I feel like I need it! Every time I hear a filter effect though I can’t help thinking of the UK kids 70/80s tv show “Grange Hill”… funky!
Just picked up one of these. Compared to the Earthquaker Special Delivery, Mr. Black Fwonkbeta just to name a couple this one blew it out of the water.
Same here. I almost got a DOD reissue. The Universe just gave me an answer with this one, worth the price, so far best I’ve heard. For near the price of a custom wah
I just bought a Source Audio PolyMod. Discontinued, but I love its feature set and the fact that all the parameters can be accessed on the pedal (except sensitivity, which is auto detected from what I can tell). Worth checking out the Source Audio Spectrum as well. It's the updated version and is smaller and sounds amazing if you don't mind getting into the software editor for more parameters.
I mean, GFI is cool and this demo is good but you cant beat the SA Spectrum or the C4 for filter application. I mention the C4 because it essentially can use all Spectrum Presets in the Neuro hub so its basically a 2 in 1 for insane value. A synth pedal + filter.
Powerful pedal, but I have to say I was rather disappointed to go through the manual and find that attack and decay times could not be adjusted. I've always found that the time taken to sweep in each direction is critical for matching the feel of the sweep to the feel of the song.
@@levijessegonzalez3629 Again, a very powerful pedal, with some nice sounds, and the display makes it more user-friendly. I've been a fan and user/owner/builder of a variety of envelope-controlled filters since the late 1970s, and one of the things I've found over the past 45 years is that it's not *just* the tone of the filter that nudges one to use it, but also whether the *feel* meshes with the phrasing and metre of the tune. My favorite, for many years, was the original MXR Envelope Filter, precisely *because* it has variable Attack time. When I make filter pedals for myself, I at least include variable Decay (simpler to implement), and sometimes both Attack and Decay. Though I haven't used them, I was pleased when I saw EHX included Attack and Decay parameters for their Riddle and Enigma filter pedals.
@@markhammer643 very interesting! do you offer any pedals for sale? What would you say would be the most comprehensive filter pedal on the market today? Is the Qtron+ better than the Riddle Q ball?
@@levijessegonzalez3629 I do occasionally, but prefer to keep things local, rather than have the nuisance of packaging and shipping. Local also means I can do repairs easily, or any mods the buyer would like. It's more of a "craft-hobby" not a business. One of the first filter pedals I ever owned was a Fernandes Funky Filter, which was a licensed clone of the Mu-Tron III. It had, like the Q-Tron/Mu-Tron, lots of interesting sounds, but the feel/attack was too quick to mesh with many songs. I doubt I could make a specific recommendation, given just how many pedals are out there. This GFI unit could be a real contender if they updated the firmware to provide variable attack and decay.
a long long time ago...before the wind and before the snow...lived a man, lived a man I know... lived a freak of nature named Sir Psycho. 'SIR PSYCHO SEXY THAT IS ME! SOMETIMES I FIND I NEED TO SCREAM....YAAAAAAAAAH!'
Perhaps because previous GFI pedals have been geared towards guitarists. No issues though, plays great with either thanks to the dry blend and various filter ranges. Thanks!
@@AndyDemos I appreciate the quick reply. On the off chance this is actually Andy I apprecite what you do. Been watching since the Pigtronix Creamsicle vid when i was 14. I'm 29 now.
Just hoping some pedal makers will read this…Please write the secondary functions under the knob! I have way too many pedals to memorize all the secondary functions!!! 😡
Andy makes all these pedals sound dope AF. Fellow reverend man too, woohoo
You have the best demos!
I liked the video before watching it!
You rock, thanks! 😀
Oohhhhh🙀 The Redtail Burst is alive and kickin out the funk.

Always a treat to hear you rock a solid filter! 👍
He's a freak of nature but we love him so..
The funky freak
He's a freak of nature but we let him gooooo...
Groovy pedal, not pricy at all for the smooth rich tones. I like how it gets that synth-like trumpet sound, best I’ve heard
Great sounding pedal. Sounded like a Ween tune in the opening. 😎

Bangga INDONESIA 🇮🇩
Really great demo
That combined guitar into bass lick, holy smokes!
the roadstar II bass is epic!
Dang, I've been looking for an envelope filter for a little while now.

Andy you should of been on stage doing the Duck Walk when demoing this pedal. LOL 😂
For $199, the guitar signal had best remain analog. The mix knob is an essential feature on most any modern pedal design. Great demo.

Can you likewise use all the C4 presets with the Spectrum?
Wah settings?
Great vid. Really disappointed there’s no lfo
I think playing "Sir Psycho Sexy" in the background was perfect.

damn really? have you found a better filter pedal since the time of writing this comment?

Why are there no videos of people using this with bass? I see you using but it’s still suspicious. Are there issues?

While I generally agree, the secondary parameters come up on the screen on this pedal. Thanks!
La pouissance de la fonk !
Roses Are Free for the intro???
Ah, i was thinkin' it was a **funked-up** version of Like A Rolling Stone!? ;p
Keep your ear to the street and watch AndyDemos.
