EnvelopeĀ controlledĀ filterĀ isĀ an effect typeĀ that ventures beyond theĀ mainstream yetĀ isĀ equally at homeĀ in a wideĀ rangeĀ of genresĀ and equally effective on guitar, bass, keys,Ā hornsĀ and more.Ā Electro-HarmonixĀ is a pioneer in this effect category and has been makingĀ envelope controlledĀ filter pedals since the 1970s! The Nano Q-TronĀ springboards offĀ thatĀ deepĀ heritage.
Hereās how it works:Ā TheĀ Nano Q-Tron responds to the userās 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 allowsĀ the Nano Q-Tron to create tone-altering effects ranging from subtle to dynamic, auto-wahĀ to ultra-funky. Itās all about how you playĀ and itās super interactive.Ā
- Vol (Volume) knob which controls the pedalās output volume
- Drive Control adjusts its filter sweep sensitivity and how the pedal responds to the userās 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
