Electro-Harmonix Enigma: Q Balls For Bass: More Balls Than This Headline Has Colons

December 23, 2009
Electro-Harmonix Enigma: Q Balls For Bass Video Demo

As Adriano Celantano proved way back in 1972, funk is truly the universal language of love. Speaking of which: time to trade in your old funk-passport for this, the Electro-Harmonix Enigma: Q Balls For Bass.

Based on EHX's successful Q-Tron platform (itself based on the legendary Mu-Tron III), the Enigma: Q Balls is one of two new envelope filters from The House That Mike Matthews Built. The other pedal -- the Riddle -- is a Q Balls for guitar, but in this video we focus on the Enigma, a volume-triggered auto-wah for low-freq freaks who love to get a little dirty (there's distortion built in).

DI?

By: some guy with an opinion (not verified)

I enjoyed the walkthrough. It was certainly helpful, but I wish that you had used a DI or a miced amp so that we could get a better Idea of the tonal potential of this pedal in context. The instrument itself sounded a little weak and clippy at times. Other than that, good work on demonstrating the sonic potential of the pedal. Keep up the good work.
