Electro-Harmonix Introduces The Nano Q-Tron

EHX has released the Nano Q-Tron, the latest in their line of Q-Tron Envelope Filters. They say that the new pedal is a shrunken and enhanced version of the Micro Q-Tron in a Nano-sized enclosure and now features a dedicated volume control. A spokesperson told us, "The Nano Q-Tron is a filter that fits that classic Q-Tron sound on any board."

Here's the details direct from EHX...

Equally effective on guitar, bass, keys or horn, the Nano Q-Tron responds to the user's playing style and dynamics. The volume of the input signal it receives (also called the envelope) controls the cutoff or center frequency of a swept filter allowing the Nano Q-Tron to create tone-altering effects ranging from subtle to dynamic, auto-wah to ultra-funky.

The Nano Q-Tron provides the following controls and features:

Vol (Volume) knob which controls the pedal's output volume

Drive Control adjusts its filter sweep sensitivity and how the pedal responds to the user's playing dynamics

Q Control sets the peak bandwidth of the filter and determines how subtle or dramatic the effect will be

LP BP HP Mode Switch controls what frequency range the filter will pass. LP (low pass) emphasizes the lows, BP (band pass) the midrange and HP (high pass) the highs

Pedalboard-friendly, compact, rugged enclosure

True Bypass switching

Comes equipped with a 9Volt battery and can also be powered by an optional 9Volt power supply
