The Behringer B-TRON III Envelope Filter

Behringer Revives the Funk! Behringer has just unveiled the B-TRON III Envelope Filter, a vintage-inspired pedal that brings back the iconic sounds of the ‘70s. Modeled after the legendary Mu-Tron III, a pedal that shaped the tones of artists like Jerry Garcia, Stevie Wonder, and Bootsy Collins, the B-TRON III delivers that signature “auto-wah” effect with style. Three filter modes—low-, band-, and high-pass—allow for deep vowel-like sweeps or crisp high-end bite, perfect for guitar, bass, and keyboards alike. The Range switch toggles between rich, deep tones and bright, overtone-heavy textures, while the Drive switch offers classic upward-sweeping wah or a unique “cocked” effect for a different take on funk expression. With Behringer’s track record of affordable recreations, the B-TRON III is set to make the classic envelope filter sound accessible to a whole new generation.
