I have switched from a volume pedal on input to a control pedal, and it's given me great flexibility. However, I'd like my auto-wah patches to change frequency on the input level, and the envelope follower responds to the actual hardware input, not the output of the input module.... as it stands the filter doesn't close down as I lower the volume pedal.
It would be nice to have the option for it to respond to what's actually coming into the module, like an actual envelope follower in a pedal board would. One of my favorite mutron tricks is to put an echo before it, and then the filter closes down gradually as the echoes fade out. Seems like this is not possible with the current routing.
I thought to compensate by adjusting the envelope output level by pedal position, but none of the envelope follower controls are mappable.
I also thought to just raise or lower the filter on the wah with the pedal, but if it is being modulated by the envelope, it can't also be modulated by the pedal. (In any case, this doesn't help with the echo example above...)
Any thoughts? I can't think of a workaround.
Seems to me an envelope follower should be built-in to the wah and filter modules. Then you could choose which behavior you wanted. Global or module-level env tracking....
