There is no substitute. June 11, 2022 Reviewer: Richard Grace from TACOMA, WA United States   I tried four other filtering pedals and was about ready to give up and buy another wah pedal. (I hate wah pedals' form factor.) In my experience, the AnalogMan Block Logo is by far the best of its kind. Super easy to work with, no mystery about it, really responsive with both humbuckers and single-coil. For my part, I don't even have to place it at the front of the chain! (I think I would recommend it, and I'm going to try it this way - YMMV.) It LOVES drive pedals. So easy to dial in. The demo videos on this page were what finally decided me to try one more time. This one's not a waste of money. It just works, and works well. Another stellar example of AnalogMike's exceptional analog modulation pedals, for which there really is no digital substitute. There goes that man! Worth the wait! Was this review helpful to you?

Block Logo Envelope Filter Pedal September 18, 2021 Reviewer: Mike from San Diego, CA United States   If you have the means (and the patience), this is simply THE BEST EF there is. I have used Mutron, MicroTron, QTron, Keeley's Neutrino... and this one is BY FAR the easiest to use, and the best sounding of the lot. Small sized - just enough control without any 'dead spots' on the neck or crazy awful filter synth sounds up high on the fretboard. In a band I'm in, we cover 4 or 5 Dead songs, and getting the Jerry Quack has never been simpler. The amazing SHOCK is how well it paired with my POG and the KOT (before both of them). With the POG, it creates an unreal effect... will be blast to take into weird jams in the future. With the KOT in either OD or Boost, it becomes a perfectly articulate filter for solos. For your Jerry sounds, just use it clean, and you can get Fire to Estimated to Shakedown - no issues Don't hesitate - when it gets to you, you'll know why you waited. Was this review helpful to you?

Block Letter Envelope Filter November 21, 2019 Reviewer: Scott from Arizona   As has been noted below, this is probably the easiest to use envelope filter I have ever tried. Couple that with great tones and you have a winner. For reference, I have used (am using) the Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk, the Xotic Robotalk, the Electro-Harmonic Q-Tron and the Source Audio Spectrum.  All of those can give you great sounds, but none quite so simply and consistently as the AnalogMan Envelope. And it is in a normal case as well. Triple plus good! Was this review helpful to you?

I don't even know what to say... July 28, 2019 Reviewer: Brian Richardson from PEORIA, IL United States   I can FINALLY stop trying to find one of these that actually does what I want it to.  I had no idea that this would be the end of my small footprint EF search.  Dude this thing sounds better for Jerry tones AND funk stuff than my vintage Mu-Tron.  Not even joking.  It triggers ALL OVER the fret board.  It triggers right with EVERY pickup.. and I have a freakin’ HSS Strat.  I expected it to be more auto-wah-y than bubble-Mutron-y by a bit, but dude... This is unreal.  I A/B’ed it with my Mu-tron, my Proton, my Accufunkture... This crushes all of them.  I’ve never really messed with an old MXR or anything in that family, and I’ve never heard any clips of any of them sounding as good as this thing does.  I can actually spend more time having fun with it, than struggling to dial it in! lol.. THANKS MIKE! Was this review helpful to you?

Hats off! April 28, 2017 Reviewer: Ulrich Zmaila from Schwaebisch Hall, BW Germany   Sounds great and looks great. Have a vintage MXR EF for comparison. The A.MAN is much more versatile and much easier to adjust with different pickups. I always had to put a clean boost before the MXR to adjust the output of the pickups to the threshold of the filter. Go check it out! Was this review helpful to you?

Envelope filter April 21, 2016 Reviewer: pete jones from nashville, TN United States   Thanks Mike! Envelope filter sounds incredible! I'm a tru-Tron guy, and I gotta say, I can get my Garcia tones, yet overall it's not as finicky, it's just more consistent!(smaller:). I highly recommend it! Customer service was as good as it gets! Thanks again, not my last analog man pedal. Was this review helpful to you?

Finally! August 19, 2015 Reviewer: Carl from Brooklyn, NY United States   The AM EF sounds fantastic!  It does I want from an EF--quacks, gulps, wah-like sounds, sharp filter flares and smooth, not-quite-open warbles.  You can set it for your best Jerry Garcia impersonation, or a dozen other cool sounds.  Heck, I even like the filter up settings, which I usually find useless. Sound aside, dynamics are where this pedal REALLY shines.  Other EF's I've used have proven finicky and difficult to manage, but not this one. Chords, single notes, high strings, low strings--the AM EF handles them all, triggering evenly without making you adjust your settings. All-in-all, this pedal more than lived-up to my hopes.  It has the sounds and it makes playing music EASY.  No fighting with the pedal or fiddling with the settings.  The AM EF lets you control the sound / change playing styles as you go, rather than making you "play the pedal" so much.  All I can say is "Finally!"  Now if I can just get out of work so I can go play some more guitar...

Incredible work! August 5, 2015 Reviewer: Max L from Parkland, FL United States   Hands down, the BEST envelope filter I've ever played through. I've had Q-Trons, Neutrinos, and a few others, and this one takes the cake. Such a simple, yet versatile pedal. Seriously, job well done! Thanks, Analog.Man! Was this review helpful to you?

Nailed it. Better than the original! May 26, 2015 Reviewer: Dennis B from Eatontown, NJ United States   I just wanted to say you completely nailed it on the MXR EF! All the good parts of my vintage unit are there and none of the bad parts. Switching back and forth between the original MXR and the AM confirms Mike definitely fixed the volume drop and dulled tone issue of the original perfectly. It’s got more treble and plenty of volume, seems to be unity gain with the bypassed signal nicely. This will definitely replace the 3 pedal set up I am using now for that one effect (LS-2 loop, MXR, + Dano EQ). Now ab’ing with the MXR + EQ I can get it almost exact. I really love the addition of the internal trimmer to adjust for a more bassy or treble sound, I was able to tweak for my humbuckers by rolling back the trim pot about 25% and get more low frequency response.   The trimpot works exactly as stated. Emphasis knob is a very handy addition as well. I’m so thrilled I am able to replace the three pedals on my board to get the sound you achieved in one awesome pedal. Well done!

THE Ultimate Envelope Filter! May 19, 2015 Reviewer: Eddyrox/Mike from Newport Beach, CA   OK, like the others, I've owned several EF's, including the Guyatone WR5 (awesome synth-"quakery"), the Xotic Robo-talk 2, the Pigtronix EP2. I've found that the RT2 and EP2 to work well, but require a bit of tweaking to coax out that desired Thomas Organ/McCoy quack. IMHO, the RT2 and EP2, while super versatile, are naturally voiced in the higher EQ freq. spectrum, and require the right p/up's and guitar wood to coax the correct degree of "funkiness" (although the EP2 has it in there). The AM EF is voiced, right out of the box, to have that 70's funk tone - quack and wah. No tweaking necessary! I can riff on Billy Jean to Love Rollercoaster to Bill Withers' "use me", and it's all good. I've found the only pedal that quacks like my Fulltone Clyde Deluxe, and a suitable companion to my Guyatone WR5. Great job Mike & team!! Was this review helpful to you?
