The Mutron III envelope filter was a staple of 1970′s funk and soul music that shaped the sounds of Bootsy Collins, Stevie Wonder and Jerry Garcia among others. But as good as the Mutron sounded, it was not without its problems. It was huge and required a special power supply, and it had a sensitivity control that changed your volume when you kicked it on. Then there's the price -- originals routinely fetch $500 or more on eBay! The new Proton envelope filter contains the essence of what made the old Mutron sound so good, without all of the drawbacks of the original. Available at JetCityMusic.com.
