The Electro-Harmonix Micro Q-Tron Envelope Follower Effects Pedal is
everything you love about the Mini Q-Tron, in an even smaller,
rounded-corner die-cast case! The Micro Q-Tron is a unique type of sound
modifier, in which the user's playing style controls the effect. The
volume of the input signal (also called the envelope) controls the
cutoff frequency of a swept filter. As the volume increases or
decreases, so does the pitch of the filter.

Controls
Drive
Control — The filter sweep sensitivity control. Determines the width of
the filter's sweep range by the input signal. Produces more sweep when
it's turned clockwise.

Q Control &ndash Determines the frequency peak of the filter. Creates a more dramatic effect when turned clockwise.
Mode
Switch (LP, BP, HP)—Determines what frequency range the filter will
pass through. Emphasizes lows in LP (Low Pass), midrange in BP (Band
Pass), and highs in HP (High Pass).

Footswitch — Engages and disengages the effect.

Connections — Connect your instrument to the Input jack and your amplifier to the Output jack.

Power
— The Micro Q-Tron is powered by either a 9V battery or an optional
Electro-Harmonix US96DC-200BI 9VDC Guitar Effects Power Supply.
Inserting a cable into the Input jack engages the battery. For longer
battery life disconnect the input cable when not in use.

Playing The Micro Q-Tron
The
Micro Q-Tron's effect is controlled by the user's playing dynamics — a
stronger attack will yield a more dramatic effect, while softer playing
will produce more subtle effects. Use the full range of control settings
in combination with different playing techniques to obtain a number of
different and unique effects combinations.
