"Offered for sale is this Mutronics Mutator in perfect working order and immaculate cosmetic condition (see detailed photos below).
Probably the most musical and involving filter unit ever - you know what this sounds like, but until you've played with one you don't realise how great it sounds... Deep, deep subs; Mutron-style envelopes; can turn almost any sound into music; makes a soft synth hard; so much fun to be had...
These are highly sought-after units, getting harder to find - a true future classic.
It is 240V mains powered - buyers in the USA/Canada will require a step-up transformer for this to function with 110v mains power - the UK plug will be removed for shipping to overseas countries with 240v supply unless otherwise requested."

Mutronics Mutator

"Mutronics Mutator - MIDI, CV-Controlled, Analog, Stereo Envelope Follower, Low Pass Filter, Amp.
The Mutator is a stereo analogue filter and envelope follower with full control facilities. It contains two independent voltage controlled filters similar to those found in analogue synthesizers, which can be used to treat any external sound source. Each filter can be controlled from its own associated low frequency oscillator (LFO) and/or its own envelope follower section, which extracts the envelope contour of an input signal and applies it to control the cut-off frequency of the filter.
Each envelope follower can be switched to track either the envelope of the sound that is being treated by the filter, or that of an independent external control signal. This external control signal can be any audio source , eg. a drum sound, a guitar, a synth, a sampler output, or even a microphone. Thus the envelope characteristics of one sound can be superimposed onto the filtering contour of another.
Another switch on the envelope follower selects envelope follow mode or gate mode - in which the circuit detects whether a signal is above a certain threshold level before switching on.
In gate mode, the device can operate much like a dedicated noise gate unit, with the added capabilities of the analogue filter
The LFO's have four different sweep waveforms each and may be switched via a stereo link to produce stereo panning effects."

Mutronics Mutator Filter with MIDI MU685M
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Often regarded as the best analogue rack filter ever made. Quite a legendary machine, used by everyone from Daft Punk to Radiohead. Very powerful filter with good modulation capabilities and envelope follower.
This is the MIDI model. Fully checked and working well, sounds wicked. Great condition too.
This is serial number #685, which gives some idea how rare these are."

MuTron III Guitar Bass Synth Pedal Envelope Filter
via this auction
"The unit was modified professionally; the battery clip was removed and a custom-built transformer was added in it's place. This enables the unit to run on standard 9VDC center-positive power input (rather than the original strange power supply), which is very handy in the mordern world; it will not run on batteries any longer. This aside, the unit is completely original with no mods or repairs.
There is cetainly a good reason that the Mutron III is such a highly regarded effect, that reason is that IT RULES. Envelope up or down, hi/lo/or bandpass filter, peak (Q) control, gain (threshold) control, oh man! Did you notice that it's built to withstand severe rock abuse and warfare? Hurry up and change your life with this pedal."

"What a great pedal!
It does two things that any great one should:
-works well
-sounds like magical mystery
For the geeks out there, it is worth noting that this very pedal is the first phaser design to use OTA components rather that FETs, resulting in a much clearer, less noisy effect than it's competitors."

"Ah, octave effects are such fun, and this one is no exception.
It is very smooth and natural-sounding with great tonal control overall.
Switch the "Ringer" control on for some added anger in your tone.
Use the "Aux" output on the back to split between two amps or two channels?
GET CREATIVE."

Mutronics Mutator
via this auction
"The Mutator is a stereo analogue effects unit based on technology developed for synthesis in the late sixties. Quite unlike your standard reverb, delay, chorus and flange type effects the effects achievable with the Mutator are unique and quite simply defy description.
The Mutator is a stereo analogue filter and envelope follower with full control facilities. It contains two independent voltage controlled filters similar to those found in analogue synthesizers, which can be used to treat any external sound source. Each filter can be controlled from its own associated low frequency oscillator (LFO) and/or its own envelope follower section, which extracts the envelope contour of an input signal and applies it to control the cut-off frequency of the filter.

The Tangent Project Live Rig
via Jeff of The Tangent Project. The image is from 2008, however they will be playing live with most of the gear pictured this December. Details further below.
"Here's a summary of the kit:
The Tangent Project LIVE at The Gatherings from May 17, 2008
Jeff Coulter's live gear rig:
on the keyboard stand:
M-Audio O2
Quasimidi Polymorph
Novation Remote 61LE
Dave Smith Intruments Evolver Desktop
Mutron Phasor II
[and a sustain pedal underneath the stand]
on top of left rack:
EMS Synthi-A
in left rack:
Juice Goose power/light module
Mackie LM-3204 Line Mixer
Digitech Studio Quad V2
Digitech TSR-12
on top of right rack, top to bottom:
Korg MS2000R
Roland JP-8080
Novation A-Station
JL Cooper Nexus Plus MIDI Merger/Patch Bay
in right rack, top to bottom:
Doepfer MAQ 16/3 MIDI/Analog Sequencer
Waldorf Micro Q
JL Cooper PPS-100 Synchronizer [MIDI clock source]
Lexicon LXP-1
Lexicon MPX-100
E-MU ESI-4000 Turbo Sampler
CDROM/Hard Disk for E-MU Sampler
FYI: I'll be using almost the same rig, minus the Digitech Studio Quad and with the addition of a Roland JV-2080 that has 7 expansion board in it, when we play live at WXPN on December 5th for a small donor concert, then we'll be doing a live set during Star's End later - around 2:00 am. The real key to the setup is the MAQ 16/3 and the ability to control each row's parameters from the Novation Remote 61LE and to switch between controlling all the different synths as a track develops. Too bad the Novation Remote does not do splits - that would be even better. The M-Audio O2 is for controlling subsequences, transpositions, and a few specific parameters on the Polymorph.
[Details on ther performances:]
At around 8:30 pm we play for a small audience of special donors to the Star's End radio programme on WXPN FM in Philadelphia - about 20-25 people in total will be there. see:
http://www.starsend.org/premiums100409.html
Then at about 2:00 am we will play a live on-air set that can be streamed from XPN.org or heard in the station's listening area - Philadelphia and a couple other areas - see:
http://www.starsend.org/broadcast.html
This rig fits in the back of a pretty small station wagon and is capable of a HUGE amount of sound, plus it's quite versatile to go from one track to the next without missing a beat - I need to add a new device for MIDI clock generation, as the PPS-100 is not able to shift tempo on the fly - it does have 2 MIDI outs so I can keep the Doepfer and the Polymorph synced together for the entire show - neither has the best clock sync inside them - just try syncing them from a computer DAW and starting someplace other than measure 1 beat 1 - it's awful.
At some point I'll find just the right device for keyboard splits and MIDI clock. The CME VX series look quite capable, but I hear the build quality and documentation is rather dodgy."
