The Emma Electronic DiscumBOBulator V3 is an autowah/envelope filter pedal that aims to improve the filter-triggering, dynamic range, and headroom signal of the original DiscumBOBulator, which was widely praised as one of the best pedals in its category. It also features an independent 10dB boost that can come in very handy during solos.
Through a traditional set of control found on most envelop filter pedals (Attack, Sense for sensitivity, and Width for frequency selection) the Discombobulator can deliver a variety of sounds, from funk tones to cocked wah sounds to synth-like tones.
A toggle switch in the middle of the case lets you operate the filter in two directions, allowing you to open it up when the guitar’s peak notes come through, or close it.
It has a wide frequency spectrum that makes it suitable for any instrument, from guitar to bass to keys. Its proprietary all-analog circuit ensures precise tracking, both on single notes and chords, and avoids the volume peaks or dips common to other filter pedals.
DiscumBOBulator V3 adds a Side Chain Input, that lets you control/trigger the envelope from another source
