Owner Insights
We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Source Audio Soundblox Pro Poly-Mod Filter.
Features and functionality
-
The Soundblox Pro BEF offers presets that capture sounds reminiscent of Parliament and Yes songs, noted for their "gooey" texture.
Source -
The pedal requires manual parameter assignment for expression control via the back page menu, indicating a need for detailed setup knowledge.
Source -
The attack sensitivity knob simultaneously adjusts both attack and release of the envelope, limiting the ability to fine-tune these parameters independently.
Source -
Users appreciate the LFO feature but note the minimum rate is faster than preferred for some applications.
Source -
A submenu system allows Q adjustment and expression pedal control, but setting up a satisfying pedal sweep may be challenging for some users.
Source
Software and compatibility
-
The M-Audio expression pedal, despite having a correct TRS out, may not be compatible due to voltage differences; Source Audio's own pedal ensures functionality.
Source
User experience
-
Long-term users highlight the pedal's durability, mentioning its robust construction since 2012-2013, describing it as a "tank" that "rules."
Source -
The pedal's versatility is praised, though some miss the ability to manually tweak fixed parameters like resonance and Q, which are mode-dependent.

Luke Weiler of Positive Mental Trip began to take interest in Envelope Filter sounds as opposed to straight up Jimi Hendrix style wah pedals in 2014.(Luke played standard Cry Baby wah pedals 2006-2014) Playing percussion in an experimental reggae band EN KNEE GIVEN DAZE while playing percussion he would watch Gerry Skeletonez play with a vintage Q-Tron and an octave pedal. In a hotel room at the Rock N Roll Resort festival he would play with a Q Tron w/ a Boss octave pedal and knew he needed that in his life. In 2015 after DAZE and BOMBMOB(electro-dub act luke played percussion with on his PMT Hiatus) broke up Luke decided it was time to start playing Positive Mental Trip music again. There were not many PMT shows in 2015 but there began to be many Positive Mental Trip shows in 2016. By the end of 2016 Luke was recording and experimenting live and in the studio with 2 Envelope Filter pedals. The Source Audio Pro Poly Mod Filter and the BOSS AW-3 Dynamic Wah. Both digital Envelope Filter pedals that could be controlled by expression pedal if desired these pedals had loads of options. Luke has played the Source Audio Pro Poly Mod Filter on many Positive Mental Trip recordings but only twice live. He has 4 specific Envelope Wah filter presets programmed into it. Positive Mental Trip’s 2017 album “The Black and White Album” has a lot of digital Envelope Filter wah sounds coming from the Source Audio Pro Poly Mod Filter and a few from the BOSS AW-3. You can hear some Source Audio Pro Poly Mod Filter envelope Filter sounds on the new album “Love Never Dies” as well. The BOSS AW-3 has not been used on the new album. The MOOG MF 101 Low Pass Filter has been used more then any other Envelope Filter on the album. It has a very cool analog Envelope Filter vibe on guitar and bass. It is arguably the best analog Envelope Filter in existence. (Among the other legendary analog filter EHX Q-Tron, Mike Biegel MUTRON) So yes, Luke Weiler of Positive Mental Trip plays a Source Audio Pro Poly Mod Filter. A huge fan of the effect on lead guitar and rhythm guitar as well.
