WWW Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I’ve been using Cry Baby way for my Hohner D6. Too noisy and thin. Also looking for envelope follower. Mutron ? your thoughts?

CEB Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I used a Dr Q. That was a go to box. There has to be something available today that is less noisy. But Dr Q had the sound. As far as a wah … If you like the action of a Cry Baby I would get a Crybaby with an adjustable Q. Maybe adjust the one you have. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver. Mutron is great. I know nothing about any new Mutron stuff. Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

zxcvbnm098 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I've heard good things about the new Mu-tron stuff: https://mu-tron.com/shop/pedals/micro-tron-iv-vintage-silver/ They're a small company based here in SoCal. I'd give them a ring and ask about it with a Clav? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I switched to modeled effects as they are quieter. Got the idea from Danny Louis (Gov't Mule) I still have a Line 6 M5 and a Line 6 M9. Not expensive, great sounding, IMO, and very, very quiet. (Looking for Elmer Fudd emoji) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoB3 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 An older Morley (with pedal return spring) has proven well with rhodes, clav and wurli (also with Hamm B3). Likely find one cheap enough to try out. The pedal return being instrumental (live performance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analogika Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Tried Morley, Cry Baby, George Dennis, and Vox wah. Stuck with the Vox. Envelope Follower: Had a Dr. Q for some years, had a nasty bite which I really liked in some cases. Found it more useful on Drum machines than on the Clav.

(Looking for Elmer Fudd emoji) I second the Line 6 M series, had an M9 that unfortunately gave up on me (motherboard problem, and bought used), then bought a brand new M5 instead together with the Expression pedal for it, and it's definitely a commonly used unit here. I have a Pod HD Pro rack unit as well, with the FBV Express MkII for it too, this takes everything one step further with the amps and speaker models on top of all the FX and pedal models.

CEB Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 The fact that the instrument is a D6 there is really high noise floor potential to begin with. The lower the signal noise ratio on your effects the better. Throw an inductor wah pedal into the mix you have the potential for the rig to become a radio receiver. David’s post is great advice. 1 1 1 Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

You may end up discovering some spy radiotraffic! Sometimes my Leslie (760 Solid State) back in the 90's picked up what sounded like Russian radio, always wondered what that was about (It was in Sweden back when I was still living there...).

Mark Schmieder Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I've been through a lot of them over the years, and made a bundle selling my custom shop Clyde a couple of years ago, which more than covered the cost of my custom shop Vox wah pedal, by far the best I've ever owned (and that's a lot!). Very warm and organic, expressive, nuanced, versatile, good on any instrument, including Clav. Even the non-custom shop versions of the Vox are my top recommendations at this point. Vox pedals in general have been great ever since Korg took over the company (distribution-wise at least) and began sharing technology between them. The Vox wah pedals also have the best ergonomics in terms of foot travel and grip.

Mark Schmieder Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Mu-Tron stuff is hard to come by but is good as well, especially since the rebirth or whatever you want to call the latest incarnation of the company. I considered their pedals for several categories but got frustrated by the supply chain and in some cases the form factor so moved on to others. Which brings me to the envelope follower question. As I am almost done shutting down for the night, I can't look up what I have and now I forget! I went through a lot of pedal swaps around New Year's, then I firmed up my pedal boards (finally!) and locked them in a closet during house repairs. I'm pretty sure I wound up with the nano version of the EHX Q-tron. On bass, I use Aguilar's twin filter (simultaneous up/down). Might work on Clav?

Threadslayer Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 My favorite back in the day was the Mutron III. I'd recommend it to the OP, but I just saw one offered on eBay for over $1,000!

J.F.N. Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Back in the days when I was a Hohner player, I used to have the old orange MXR Phase 90 (wonder where the H that pedal ended up, it's not here, and I for sure didn't sell it...), and this one: Quote "You live every day.

Dave Osoff Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 The 3 Leaf Audio Wonderlove is a lovely Mutron clone with a smaller footprint. I’ve used it with many Clavinet sample libraries. But I haven’t owned an actual Hohner Clavinet for several years since I regrettably sold my E7. 🙂 Quote Nord Stage 3 Compact Nord Stage 2 EX Compact Korg Kronos 2 73 Mag C2 organ UHL X3-1 organ GSI DMC-122 Radial KL8 Motion Sound Kp500S Macbook Pro Falcon, UVI, Kontakt, Logic, PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
