Hello 1st time poster here.
I picked up a used AW-2 on the cheap at a local mom & pop music store. I bought it because it was cheap and I was curious but my second thought was to use it for a Jerry Garcia / Mu-tron / envelop filter type sound.
When I got it home and played around with it, I have to say I wasn�t able to get anything remotely near that sound.
After reading some reviews on harmony central, there are some people that are using it in that way � but either they have no idea of what that sound should really sound like or I�m missing the sweet spot on this pedal. Looking over some of the other posts on this board I probably should have picked up the TW-1 or the FT-2 and maybe I�ll do that.
That said, is anyone using the AW-2 for the Jerry Garcia / Mu-tron / envelop filter effect? If so could you post your settings and where in the signal chain you placed the pedal?
Thx

| Personally I think the FT-2 is best for a Mu-tron/envelope filter type effect. It can easily do a Garcia type sound. TW-1 would work too. The AW-2 is more of a combination auto-wah/envelope filter. It has been a while since I have used mine, but from what I remember the envelope filter effect is not that distinct from the auto-wah. I don't know if you can even get just an envelope filter sound without the auto-wah with the AW-2. |

Personaly, I think you should consider a moogerfooger lowpass filter or a lovetone meatball for this kind of effect!!
I'm REALLY in love with Boss pedals, but I really consider that their envelope-kind-of-thing don't work, and I really tried all of them... |

Thats what I am finding. I guess I can turn around and sell this puppy and pick up a FT-2, TW-1, Mu-Tron III+, moogerfooger, meatball etc. but I was trying to make it work with the AW-2

I found something that is about as close as I think I can get with this pedal.
I'm replying to my own post in case anyone else is looking to do the same.
Here is what I came up with:
Rate: 1
Depth: 1
Manual: 1
Sens: 3-4
Enjoy |
