New EHX Nano Q-Tron Envelope Filter: Now smaller, funkier and improved
Smaller, funkier and now finally with a volume control!
5,0 / 5,0 | 
EHX’s聽new聽Nano Q-Tron Envelope Filter聽has been shrunk聽down in size and improved聽upon. Now players can get that sweet funk tone in a smaller, more manageable package.
EHX Nano Q-Tron Envelope Filter
The new聽EHX Nano Q-Tron Envelope Filter聽comes in a much smaller nano housing and, at last, with its own volume control. This could be a huge improvement over the regular older version, which would often suffer the dreaded volume loss when you kicked in the effect. I have owned the previous incarnations, and although it is undoubtably a great envelope filter, it could sometimes cause you to get a little lost in the context of a band mix.

Smaller Simplicity
You now get four controls, instead of just the聽Q, Drive聽and聽Mode controls of the previous version. Drive regulates the sensitivity of the filter to the input signal, Q determines the width of the filter frequency, and Mode gives you access to three different filter types –聽lowpass, bandpass聽and聽highpass.聽And now, finally, the all important Vol聽(volume) control has been added.聽But the question arises: Why did this realization take so long?聽And how long will it be before EHX adds a mix control?

Works with guitar, bass, and more
Well, you can’t have it all.聽In any case, the sounds in the demo video are pleasing.聽Anyone who thinks that such an effect can only be used for funk should please listen to John Mayer’s “I Don’t Trust Myself (With Loving You)”.聽The聽compact pedal also has聽true bypass聽and is聽equally suitable聽for guitar, bass, keys,聽and even聽horns.
It was already a pretty great circuit, and now that one of its major issues has finally been tackled, it is a lot more viable to use than the previous incarnations. You can hear the pedal in action in the official video below.
RRP – USD 106.40
