I have enough space on my pedalboard for just an EHX nano, and I saw this little baby called Doctor Q.
Anyone here with any knowledge about it? Is it a good dynamic wah for bass?

Perfect for funk guitar licks. It would probably work decently in slap. |

They wear out... With the switch up (band pass) it was a perfect auto-wah. The distortion if driven was cool too. The first ones out in the 70s have no 'on light' and there is an adjustable pot inside: you could adjust the sensitivity (very useful when the source is loud). The low pass function (switch down) is really just as others have described. I tried a nano new one and it was dimensionless, or maybe I'm used to fidelity and more complex envelopes these days. |

Anyway, the Doctor Q. I was waiting for someone to make a stupid comment pertaining to the fact that Karen Gillan, who is normally quite fetching, has looked absolutely stunning these past two episodes. Maybe a reference to her penchant for miniskirts, or her ginger-ness.

The Bassballs is more usefull. The Doctor Q should still be nice, but at least try a Bassballs before you settle with the Dr. |

Far more tweakable if modded and probably better suited for bass than the Dr. (IMO)
