The Nano Q-Tron Envelope Filter is new, compact version of Electro Harmonix's popular Micro Q-Tron Envelope Controlled Filter pedal. With an expressive, all-analogue circuit, the Nano Q-Tron brings a host of organic funky, filtered tones to your rig in a pedalboard friendly housing.

Key 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 9 Volt battery and can also be powered by an optional 9 Volt power supply

Here's what Electro Harmonix say about the Nano Q-Tron Envelope Filter

Envelope controlled filter is an effect type that ventures beyond the mainstream yet is equally at home in a wide range of genres and equally effective on guitar, bass, keys, horns and more. Electro-Harmonix is a pioneer in this effect category and has been making envelope controlled filter pedals since the 1970s! The Nano Q-Tron springboards off that deep heritage.

Here’s how it works: 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. This allows the Nano Q-Tron to create tone-altering effects ranging from subtle to dynamic, auto-wah to ultra-funky. It’s all about how you play and it’s super interactive.

Wah & Filter Pedals

Wah effects sweep a resonant band-pass or related filter through the frequency spectrum, creating the vowel-like movement associated with the treadle. Envelope filters move automatically in response to picking level, while fixed and sequenced filters use other control sources. Sweep range, resonance, direction, sensitivity and input loading determine whether the response is vocal, percussive, smooth or sharply synthetic.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
