An ENVELOPE FILTER project

Ah, the good old envelope filters, expressive little boxes of wah-wah goodness without the treadles. Basically, the envelope filter sweeps a certain range of boosted frequencies that is triggered by detected envelope of a string's initial attack. Pretty nifty.

The following is the Nurse Quacky project (which is a bit tweaked EHX/Dr. Q circuit). Original circuit by the good guys of Home-wrecker.
