Description
Product Description:
Step into a world of surreal soundscaping with the Electro-Harmonix Blurst Modulated Filter. This pedal is not your ordinary guitar effect. Taking a page from classic synthesizer designs, it offers a modulating filter, typically found in synthesizers, but now catered to the adventurous guitar player or bassist. The filter's response isn't controlled by your playing dynamics, but by an internal oscillator. It's like an envelope filter on steroids.
The Blurst provides analog, low pass filter with adjustable resonance, three modulation waveform shapes, and tap tempo and expression pedal control. The result? A pedal that can take your sound from subtly textured to wildly resonant, all at the tap of a footswitch or the tilt of an expression pedal.
Whether you're using it alone, in combination with other effects, or controlled by an expression pedal, the Blurst can transform your sound into something spellbinding. It's more than an effect; it's an instrument in its own right.

- Modulating filter effect designed for guitar and bass

- Tap tempo control

Owner Insights
We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Electro-Harmonix Blurst Modulated Filter.
Build quality
-
The footswitches are loud, unlike EHX's newer soft-click designs, and some owners feel the pedal looks busy and cheaply made despite its solid construction.
Source
Features and functionality
-
An expression pedal significantly enhances the Blurst's capabilities, allowing for more dynamic modulation effects.
Source -
The volume and blend controls are highly sensitive to changes in resonance, rate, and range, leading to a preference for settings at 90-100% wet.
Source -
The Blurst filter's cutoff frequency peaks around 2kHz, which some users find limiting compared to other filters that open higher.
Source
Use cases and applications
-
The pedal can be used as a fixed filter to boost low mid and mid frequencies, adding slight distortion when paired with a booster, ideal for solos and rhythm licks.
Source
User experience
-
Some users find the filter not squelchy enough, lacking the desired funk or depth, especially when compared to Moog-style filters.
Source -
Owners find the blended signal often softer than the effected signal, making the filter's mix knob seem counterintuitive as it highlights frequencies rather than blending.
Source -
Owners report that the filter doesn't fully open regardless of adjustments, affecting the pedal's tonal impact.
Source
Comparisons
-
The Dwarfcraft Happiness offers more LFO-based filter options with three filter modes, sample and hold, and CV integration, compared to the Blurst's single mode.
