Envelope filter

I will be buying one of those this or next week. It's surprisingly well suited for rock and jazz, IMO.
I have a micro qtron and i cant seem to get the sound i want out of it....not to hijack the thread but could anyone recomend any settings for the qtron on the low pass setting that isnt so subtle ( i have the q around 3 and the drive around 1)
i have a 00Funk and is very happy with it, just finding the right power supply is annoying... most likley have to invest in a pedal power 2 from voodoo labs but will have to be second hand
When you say 3 and 1, do you mean on a scale of one to 10, or do you mean of the clock?
A few things,
There is a trimpot inside the Micro that should bring down the output volume on the pedal, making it easier to get a more extreme sound out of it without killing your band and your ears. As always, note the original position prior to the tweaking.
I usually have my drive up higher than my Q (Drive at around 3 o'clock, Q at around 1 o'clock).
IMO The most extreme sounds come from running the band or high pass modes blended with a clean signal.
I don't have much to offer the OP except to say that my Micro Q-Tron keeps most of my filter GAS at bay.
If your running several pedals, a voodoo lab pedal power or equivelent is a great investment.
Didnt know about the trimpot, I was having awful volume spikes and band pass and high pass were un usable. You cured my GAS for another envelope filter besides a nano bassballs, i was about to buy an ebs bass iq, thanks for saving me 200 bucks
my favorite is inside the Boss Me20b its a multi effects so in relation to what you get effects wise its very cheap

Hard not to listen to advice on envelope filters from someone named "thebigcock". I'm sure he's especially knowledgeable on wet sounds and sensitivity.

Tone Factor (aka Mojo Hand) has a 440 clone and one modded for bass. I've had both and the bass one is better for bass (good thing!). Sometimes this thing is sold as the 'boomstick", I think and sometimes as the 'red' version. You can get 'em used on ebay, thegearpage.net used, or new at tonefactor.com. It has truebypass and is well-built, and sounds good.
I like the EMMA and the Mad Professor Snow White better, but those are big money.

Micro Q-tron with a Bass Big Muff. I run these two on my board, the muff right before the tron and when they're both on it's so rediculously awesome and fat.
