DOD Envelope Filter 440 (2014)FUNK. You may dig it, you may not, but no one can deny the effects it has had on pretty much all genres of music, and musicians from said genres as well. One of the key tools in this head-bobbing odyssey of slap bass and synth-ish bliss is the beloved Envelope Filter effect, made popular by a list of artists too long to name at the moment (just Google it, k?). One of the most revered of these filters is the classic 440 from DOD, who have reissued that long-out-of-production pedal with some modern twists and a couple more funky options as well.

The original 440 had just 2 control knobs, Level (controls the sensitivity of the envelope) and Range (controls the range of movement of the envelope’s sweep). These two knobs are present on the new 440 reissue, along with a new toggle switch to play with as well. You get to select from either Up or Down, which emphasizes different parts of the filter sweep you’d like to emphasize. This gives you a little more control than the original pedal did, making for easy switches in a live setting as well, for an option-filled funk attack.

Whether you’re after classic funky quack or swept filter tones that react to your picking dynamics, the reissue Envelope Filter 440 has got you covered. While it might not be sonically identical to the original, it gets pretty close, and would be an excellent addition to any Bootsy Collins wannabe’s pedalboard. Not to mention that the price tag on the classic pedals has skyrocketed over the last decade, and this new one can be had for an extremely reasonable price. Check out the video below, then go get your own funk on, will ya?
