BolivarBaLues Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Seems like every jam band guitarist these days is using one of those awful Mutron envelope filters. The guy in that band moe. was using one at Bonnaroo yesterday. Why would you want to use something that is obviously going to make you sound like Jerry Garcia? I love the Dead, but I never even liked the sound when Garcia used it. Looks to me like these cats would want to try to seperate themselves from the pack. You know, forge your own identity, create your own sound. But I suppose that sounding like the Dead is what sells tickets for those guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) I used to say the same thing about the overabundance of wah pedals (and people who play them as though they only have two positions...) The thing is, those filters (like any other pedal) can be used for a huge variety of sounds. If those guitarists only choose to get out of them what they heard jerry get out of them, then so be it. but I wouldn't dog any particular pedal just because of the way a certain few people choose to use (or abuse) it.
