Neutrino V2 Envelope Filter Pedal Review

I was not looking for the Jerry G. Tone

When I bought this pedal I wanted the wah quack without using a wah pedal, something more unique than a fixed wah tone and I got so much more, easy too dial in. I have all custom Wilson Effects Pedals true bypass pedals, the stoned grasshopper is fuzz ts9 circuit and clean boost. Neutrino, noise killer, delay, univibe with chorus circuit, get some really amazing tones, sounds great… read more with fuzz, delay, univibe or just clean boost not everyone's flavor. I use all true bypass pedals because my Strat and Tele have custom wound pickups, buffered pedals seem too kill my tone. Thanks too Sweetwater for there great service as always.

Love the Jerry G. Sound

This pedal is amazingly simple to dial in perfect auto-wah sound. It's Jerry Garcia in a bottle.

Bam!

Perfect for me out of the box. Great for Estimated Prophet and Dancing in the streets Works well with compressor In Help on the way and distortion pedals in leads on Slipknot (like in Mayer version.) I'm not a perfectionist but just having a lot of fun with it!

A little extra info to add to my other post

Now that I've played with it for a little longer, I've figured out the setting that gives the best Jerry tone (or as close to it as I can get without a middle pickup — Jerry, Mayer, Hamilton, and Kadlecic all play(ed) on their middle pickup if you watch closely) and posted a pic of the settings. On mine it sounds more like a hybrid of Jerry and Mayer playing Jerry. A volume pedal… read more helps fine tune the effect without you having to ride your knobs like Trey. You can also flip the reverse switch on the pedal and turn up the gain a little for that dancing in the streets effect without having to change anything else. If these settings alone don't get you quite what you want, then you'll either need to get a middle pickup installed in your guitar or buy a new axe that has one. Probably getting one put in mine.

Jerry pedal!!!

I used to have an EH micro q-tron. It sucked. I wanted a mu-tron for a long time, but the size and price discouraged me. Then I saw the three leaf proton and really wanted that, but it was over $300. Finally I found the neutrino. I love my Keeley compressor so I didn't hesitate to buy this box. After playing with it for about an hour I had Estimated Prophet and Shakedown Street… read more dialed in, and Fire on the Mountain shouldn't be much of a stretch from there. Jerry's guitar tone comes more from the tone knob on the bridge pickup and very careful pick attack. That being said my old micro q-tron never approximated anything close to Jerry, no matter how I had my guitar and amp adjusted. This box is extremely responsive to dynamics, and you've gotta use a really light touch sometimes. I can't wait to try it on the reverse setting to get that awesome 5/8/77 dancing in the streets effect. This pedal is versatile. The band pass and range selectors are set up really well for on the fly adjustments, say for if you're playing rhythm in the low range and then need to switch to the high range for a solo. The output volume pot needed no adjustment out of the box. It sounds phenomenal through my analog man silver circuit TS9 In conclusion, this is a great boutique effect pedal from a great American company. It makes my old micro q-tron look like a useless toy. The potential of this effect is only limited by the player's imagination. It's not just for Grateful Dead covers. Pardon the messy pedalboard. I hadn't touched my rig since lockdown began.
