So many people think it’s an auto wah, but it’s more of an envelope filter. Use the filter block and a light drive to get you there! Enjoy!
An "envelope filter" refers to a filter controlled by an envelope controller. A wah with an envelope controller on it is an envelope filter, it just happens to be controlling a notch filter and not a low pass filter like you've started with here.So many people think it’s an auto wah, but it’s more of an envelope filter.
I dunno. What have you come up with?That is the best one so far. I'm wondering if there has been any progress.
I think we've found the current pinnacle of state of the art here.I haven't done much better.
I'd put some envelope on the Q though. Not leave it static. So it gets bigger as you play harder. It'll give you that nasally thing he gets when he hits the hard F chord coming out of the bridge as the filter will let through a lot of mid-high end content and nothing else.

You can use the same envelope controller on multiple parameters.You can assign multiple parameters to one envelope controller?

To close the loop on this. Here's my slightly modified take on @jkaneshiro23's excellent filter block settings. All I did was add some "motion" to the Q parameter by attaching the envelope filter to it as well. Settings I used were:

And, like, this sounds dead to nuts to me when I use my Silver Sky on the middle pickup:
Can you elaborate on that? I just last programmed this Filter from his video. What do you mean by attaching the filter to it? Sorry…I’m still green with this stuff…I’d love to get that sound.. All I did was add some "motion" to the Q parameter by attaching the envelope filter to it as well.
In the filter block, right click on the Q parameter to bring up the controller assignment dialog in the editor. Then enter my settings you see in the screen shot. Try it after that? The Q collapses to nothing as the envelope closes so the filter comes on very dark. And then the Q expands wider as the envelope opens. Hit a hard chord on the guitar and it'll let a lot more high end through. Play softly and it stays muffled, synth-like.Can you elaborate on that? I just last programmed this Filter from his video.

NAILED it. Thanks, man.In the filter block, right click on the Q parameter to bring up the controller assignment dialog in the editor. Then enter my settings you see in the screen shot.

For QTron sounds just use a wah block.This works pretty good! I haven’t listened to much Mayer other than his work with Dead and Company. Seen the band many times. I love his Q-Tron effect on Estimated Prophet and Shakedown. When he’s covering the Jerry stuff it sounds more wah like, more pronounced and it’s dynamic, dependent on his attack. This filter setup is close to that but not as pronounced. I tried to nail it before with the wah block but it never sounded right. This one is not far off and I like it. Any ideas on how to make it more dynamic and more pronounced?
