Get excited kids!
XO version of the original Q-Tron. Seems pretty similar to the XO+ that has been out for a while. Differences to XO+ are:
- Response (Speed) knob has disappeared. The Sweep Direction Switch takes it's place.
- The logo is a gorgeous shade of lime green
- No effects loop 
I will probably be buying this at some point - it has less functionality that the XO+, but the features that are missing will hopefully be counterbalanced by a lower price.

It's not a difference.

I'm seriously considering picking one of these up... I don't know why, maybe I've been smoking too much weed recently, but they just sound soooo goooood. That and with that paintjob, I think I could get away with it.  |

I've owned a Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. It's the exact same depth and height as the Stereo Electric Mistress, Micro POG, Little Big Muff, etc. - only the width is different.

it really doesn't make sense to me. | Price will be lower. I think it is cool - I wouldn't use the loop, and I don't think I would use the different speeds, so being able to get what I would use, but cheaper is pretty cool. Also, THE GREEN-NESS!!!! Quote:

It's the exact same depth and height as the Stereo Electric Mistress, Micro POG, Little Big Muff, etc. - only the width is different. | Actually, I think that the SMMWH (And I guess Polyphase, Holy Stain, Q-Tron, etc) is slightly taller than the LBM (And I guess SEM, Micro POG, etc). It is only about 3mm or something, but there is definitely a difference.
Actually, thinking about it, maybe it is the feet? I'm not sure, but when my SMMWH and LBM sit next to each other the MM is taller.

What works though (even though it's labeled poorly) is that when the Boost is on, it isn't just a boost- it becomes a volume and sensitivity control. You can turn down the volume so it's not as loud. What would be best is just separate volume and gain knobs, but eh, they're EH- they've gotten do something screwy, right?  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
