I'm currently running my Tribute through an Electro-Harmonix Mini Q Tron Envelope. I like the 3 stage switch that allows focus on low, mid, or high but am wondering what else is out there and easy to use. Would love any insight. Thanks. | ||

Jim: After researching (check out harmony-central.com for user reviews) and /or trying several different envelope filters, I settled on the E-H Micro Q tron. I love the sound and it seems to work well with my Alembics. Really nails the Jerry "Estimated Prophet" tone. Bill, tgo | ||

I had the larger Q-Tron for awhile - good tone but the volume boost bugged me. It no longer works properly so I picked up an MXR - simple and sounds pretty good. | ||

The Maxon AF-9 is pretty good too. It's what I used until I found the Q tron. Then I sold the Maxon here to a club member. Bill, tgo | ||

I also like the BOSS AW-3 Dynamic Wah. Besides the regular Envelope filter features, it also has a "Humanizer" feature that replicates vowels at each end of the note. Really cool stuff! I also really like the EBS BASS IQ. | ||

You should have come to Bassday John. He played a superb set. Twice in 2 years - maybe he'll come back next year. graeme | ||

I have a EH Mini Q Tron and Bass Balls..the Q is mainly for guitar and is more subtle. The Bass Balls is very extreme and you can imitate the synth intro to 'Birdland' when you switch in the distortion. | ||

I'm sharing the same issue as Stamieus...too much volume boost on the Electro-Harmonix Mini Q Tron. | ||

I love my BassBalls! Yeah, it's extreme... especially with the distortion, but I've never heard another effect like it. I don't like volume drop it affords, so I keep it in a dedicated loop on my Radial Switchbone so I can have a true bypass when the BassBalls is not needed. | ||

It's not simple, and it's not for anyone who needs to make the exact same effect again and again, but the Subdecay Prometheus is a truly exceptional filtering tool. I'm enthralled. It can sound like a typical autowah, or many crazed variations. | ||

I love my Mu-Tron III. Jerry used one and Kimock calls it his Secret F***ing Weapon. Not a modern pedal but nothing I've tried sounds like it. Closest things are the various Q Trons. |
