Digitech DOD Envelope Filter 440
DIGITECH DOD ENVELOPE FILTER 440
The DOD 440 (2014) makes your guitar speak with vowel-like
sounds, and cry with slow-filter sweeps that react to your pick attack.
The new addition of the up and down switch lets you choose which part
of the sweep you want to emphasize. Guitarists will love the UP
setting for classic envelope quack. Bassists will love the DOWN
setting for big dub sub thunder.
The DOD Envelope
Filter 440 (2014) has Level and Range controls. Level controls the
sensitivity of the envelope; adjust this control to tailor the
triggering of the filter based upon your pick attack. With a higher
sensitivity, a lower signal will affect the envelope's effect. In other
words, with a higher sensitivity you don't have to pluck as hard to make
the effect audible. Range controls the range of movement of the
envelope's sweep. Counter-clockwise sweeps more low frequencies.
Clockwise sweeps more high frequencies. The Voice switch allows you to
choose which part of the filter sweep you want to emphasize. True
bypass allows your guitar tone to remain pristine even when the new DOD
440 (2014) is off. This is a big difference from the original which
would color your bypassed tone. The modern 9V DC power supply input make
the pedal more pedalboard friendly.
