Emma Electronic returns DiscumBOBulator as Funkier V3 Edition

May 2, 2024 · 3 sources

Emma Electronic has reissued its DiscumBOBulator autowah and envelope filter as the Funkier V3 Edition, Guitar Pedal X reported on May 2, 2024¹. Delicious Audio had reported the pedal as shipping on April 22, 2024².

The V3 keeps the four-knob layout of earlier versions: Boost, Width (Q), Attack and Sense, plus a Filter Slope Up/Down switch and separate Boost and Bypass footswitches¹. The boost is listed as a separate ultra clean 0 to +10dB circuit¹. Guitar Pedal X describes the pedal as covering "Wide range of old-school auto-wah tones and modern filter sweeps"¹.

The new addition is a Side Chain Input, which Guitar Pedal X says "allows you to control/trigger the envelope from another source"¹. Delicious Audio describes the V3 as aiming "to improve the filter-triggering, dynamic range, and headroom signal of the original DiscumBOBulator"². The pedal is listed with true-bypass switching, top-mounted jacks, a 3-year limited warranty and construction by hand in Denmark¹. Delicious Audio says its all-analog circuit tracks single notes and chords and avoids the volume peaks or dips it says are common to other filter pedals².

Guitar Pedal X listed the US price at $249¹. It noted that the Emma Electronic website was still showing the older V2 Edition at the time¹. The V2, released in 2017, added the foot-switchable +10dB boost and, according to Pedal of the Day, tripled the input headroom of the original³.
