In this article from BOSS Users Group magazine (Vol. 5, No. 1 Summer 2001), David details his guitar rig at the time, which included an FT-2.
At 5:49 in the Rig Rundown from Premier Guitar, Robert Randolph showcases his Dynamic Filter pedal, saying “Here you have, I don’t really want you to show this but it is what it is, Dynamic Filter. They don’t even make these no more, this is the secret here. This is the one that gets all the chicks.”
"The third pedal in the chain is the Dynamic Auto Wah. I have it set as an envelope filter. It's kind of like the 70s synth bass effect (see P Funk.) I rarely use this one, but it's fun so I had to have it : ) I use it on the bass solo in "Black Blade" and I occasionally use it on my bass solo during Godzilla."
