For sale we have one of the finest envelope filter pedals ever made, the Ibanez AF-201 Auto Filter. Part of the highly-collectible series that featured the legendary TS-808 Tube Screamer, this isn’t an easy pedal to track down. As a result, it’s something of a well-kept secret when compared to its more famous relations…Made in Japan in 1981 by Maxon under licence for Ibanez, this is a high quality analogue envelope filter in the grand tradition of the Mu-tron III, the sound of which this pedal at times closely emulates.
This is a great analogue envelope filter (auto-wah) with that wonderful Japanese build quality and attention to detail – made in an era when quality was more important than cost, which is why so few reissue pedals sounds as good as their predecessors.
It is in excellent cosmetic condition with only very minor chips and scratches (see photos below) and is in perfect working order. It’s fitted with a new Duracell Procell battery and ready to play.
