FTelettronica Envelope Follower/ Triggered Filter FX Pedal

U.K First

The Envelope Follower/ Triggered Filter from Italian outfit FTelettronica pays homage to The Lovetone Meatball, which is a rare envelope filter pedal produced in the 90s and used by many influential guitarists, such as Kirk Hammett and The Edge.

FTelettronica’s interpretation captures the spirit of that classic circuit while dramatically expanding its flexibility. At its core, this pedal delivers touch responsive envelope filtering that reacts directly to your playing dynamics, from subtle auto-wah movement to deep, synth-like sweeps. In addition to its envelope follower behaviour, it offers a wide range of static filter options, allowing you to lock in specific tonal shapes for rhythmic, percussive, or experimental sounds.

Where this pedal truly shines is in its versatility. With the addition of a compatible expression pedal, the Envelope Follower / Triggered Filter can be used like a traditional wah, giving you full manual control over the filter sweep while retaining the tonal character of a high-end envelope filter. This makes it equally useful for funk, ambient textures, classic wah tones, and modern sound design applications.

True to FTelettronica’s philosophy, this pedal blends vintage inspiration with modern engineering, delivering a powerful, expressive filter tool that honours the legacy of the Meatball while offering far more control and creative potential for today’s pedalboards.
