Flattley Guitar Pedals Bass Filtron - Bass Envelope Filter

Bass Filtron (Envelope Filter) 

The “Bass Filtron” is a bass guitar envelope filter which gives an auto wah style effect. This pedal has 3 control knobs for range, attack and decay plus a Hi/Lo toggle switch and has great sound control.

This pedal was featured in 2018’s Bass Magazine and this is what they said:

The Filtron envelope filter pedal offers an auto wah-style effect with high and low settings depending on the definition and tone you require. With controls for Range, Attack and Decay, a fine selection of funky tones can be coaxed from this unit. For those who like a spot of bling, this pedal came fitted with a halo light plate that made the base of the pedal light up when in use.8/10

The blue halo light ring installed diffuses the light when playing live, avoiding being blinded by the standard LEDs just as you are about to go into that all important solo thus giving a larger area to see where the pedal is located easily on the pedal board on darkened stages. The addition of the aluminium foot topper gives you more real estate for contact when switching the pedal on and off during quick changes when playing live.

All Flattley "Platinum Range" pedals are hand processed in our Flattley paint shop. The bare aluminium enclosure is abraded prior to painting with the etch primer. The etch primer acts as a anti corrosive layer and allows the primer to bond to the enclosure ensuring a tough resilient paint finish.

Multiple coats of base coat primer are applied which are then lightly abraded to remove any blemishes or paint speckles prior to the application of the base colour. We apply several coats of base colour until an even coverage occurs and the base colour develops rich smooth depth. Metallic holographic chrome flake is then applied using a clear inter coat which adds that all important Flattley sparkle.

The pedal enclosure is now ready to be hydro dipped in its Flattley graphics. This is the process whereby the graphics are applied using water activated film, the residual PVA film is then washed off and the enclosure is then allowed to dry naturally.

Once dried the lacquer process begins. Each “Flattley Platinum” pedal has a minimum of three coats of lacquer which are all wet sanded between coats. Once the lacquer has hardened, it is then hand polished using three different grades of polishing compounds and it then has a final polish to achieve a high gloss finish using a wool finishing pad. This process gives the smooth deep lustre finish that is inherent in all Flattley Guitar and Bass effects pedals.
