Description
Over the last few years, Behringer’s been on a proper mission: bringing back some of the world’s rarest and most desirable guitar pedals, but at prices that won’t make your wallet cry. They’ve now resurrected a cult classic from the ‘90s — a quirky boutique stompbox once favoured by the likes of Radiohead, The Edge (U2), Matt Bellamy (Muse) and plenty more top tone adventurers. Say hello to the Behringer Meatball Envelope Filter — your new secret weapon for spicing up your sound!
Sonic playground
With the Meatball’s comprehensive control set, you can shape every nuance of your tone. Adjust Sensitivity, Attack and Decay to match your playing dynamics, then fine‑tune Resonance and Colour to nail everything from subtle vowel‑like sweeps to sharp, funky peaks. The Blend knob lets you mix in just the right amount of dry signal, while the Filter and Bandwidth switches give you total command of how your sound moves across the frequency spectrum.
A pedal that begs to be experimented with!
Want to turn clean rhythm parts into pulsing, percussive grooves? Or give your bass lines a snarling, synth‑like edge? The Meatball’s got you covered. Stick it after a fuzz for gooey, squelchy madness. Or run it before a modulation pedal for swirling, animated textures. You can also add an expression pedal for hands‑on sweeps, or pair it with a compressor to really bring out the dynamics.
Break the mould
The Meatball thrives on variety. From tight funk chops and massive bass sweeps to modulated synth lines and wild studio sound design, this pedal is all about pushing boundaries. If you’re after a stompbox that sparks ideas, breaks rules and helps you create something truly unexpected — this is the one. Have fun!
