Prophecysound Systems Prophecysound Rubber Fetish MkII

The Prophecysound Systems Rubber Fetish MkII is an analog envelope filter pedal, the kind of effect that sweeps a filter in response to how hard you play, producing the auto-wah and quack tones players associate with funk and filtered bass. It is listed as the MkII version of the Rubber Fetish¹.

What it does

Prophecysound describes the pedal this way: "The Prophecysound Rubber Fetish MkII takes the Mutron III envelope filter, and adds some extra features to give you more control over the sound, as well as being designed to easily fit - size and power requirements wise - on modern pedal boards"¹. The Mutron III is a classic envelope filter circuit, so the Rubber Fetish MkII follows that design while adding controls the original did not have¹.

For a player, that means the pedal tracks picking dynamics to open and close the filter, in the tradition of the filter pedal family, with the added flexibility of its extra features. If you are pairing it with dirt, an overdrive pedal or a fuzz pedal ahead of an envelope filter changes how it responds, since the filter reacts to signal strength¹.
