Aitone AT-08
Aitone · pedal
The AITONE AT-08 is a compact budget envelope filter and auto-wah pedal for electric guitar and bass with controls for Sensitivity, Q, Decay, and Tone. True bypass. It uses a pick-sensitive analog-feeling optical-style circuit and reviewers compare its sweep character to the Electro-Harmonix QTron, suggesting it achieves comparable tonal results at a lower price point. Best suited to funk, R&B, and any application requiring a dynamic pick-driven wah-style sweep.

Pedals that stack with the Aitone AT-08
Wren and Cuff Box of War Small Foot Fuzz
Wren And Cuff
20% matchRun the AT-08's envelope filter ahead of the Box of War's Muff-style fuzz so the filter still has a clean signal to shape before the fuzz piles on.
Wren and Cuff Box of War OG
Wren And Cuff
20% matchSame idea with the Box of War OG — keep the AT-08 first in the chain, or its envelope response gets swallowed by the fuzz's sustain.
Red Witch Titan
Red Witch
6% matchKeep the Titan's ambient delay trailing behind the AT-08's envelope filter — put the filter first so it's still tracking a dry signal. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

EarthQuaker Devices
6% matchRun the Afterneath's ambient, pitch-shifted reverb after the AT-08's funky envelope filter, not before, or the filter just chases the reverb tail. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
