the auto-ya-ya from digitech is the same kind of thing, but it doesn't pick up on the striking dynamics as an envelope filter. It strictly modulates the notes being played themselves.
but I can't see anything musical about it. The Envelope Filter I use constantly (after all I am a deadhead) and I am in love with it for Reggae lead guitar, I only use my 'wah' pedal on reggae rhythms to add to the 'ka-chank' melody (the wah adds a kind of swooshing sound) but the Auto-Ya-Ya is always pointless to me..
That guitar solo on TOOL "vicarious" is the only true musical thing I have heard, and it just sounds like a distorted human voice..

You're a deadhead? I didn't know that. I knew you were a "card carrying Rastafari" and an OG gangsta rap fiend, but I didnt think anyone on SYG was very into the Dead.
I wouldn't call myself a deadhead per se, but I have a 120 cd wallet of shows (most of them just CD-R's, few true boots) and their studio albums.
Cool. This is a good thing.
