Micro Q-Tron or Mini?

[Keepitcoolidge]

Hey guys-

Thanks a lot for the help on the envelope follower stuff. From what I've heard I can get a lot out of the Electro-harmonix q-tron stuff. Ideally I want a nice, funky, "underwater" wah sound. Anything beyond that is a plus. Since I am a little short on money right now, I can't really afford the "real deal", but I've heard a lot of good things about the mini q-tron. Is this the preferred envelope follower over the Micro? I have heard some things about the micro that suggest that it is a little lackluster compared to its counterparts.

And also, I happen to be quite the newbie with effects. What exactly is a volume spike? Would it be that big of a deal? I'm planning on using this pedal a lot (gigging, recording, jamming), and I want to know how practical it is.

Thanks again....

And also- should I try bidding on this? Do you know where I could find a good mini for a good price other than ebay?

This thread has some helpful tidbits on mini vs. micro. Me? I'm a modder/tweaker, and the micro is nearly impossible because it uses tiny "SMD' components. But some people say the occasional volume spike of the Mini is eliminated in the micro.

Unfortunately, that's not true... I used to have a micro and it would spike like hell, ended up taking it back.

Well I had a Q-tron the old big one and a vintage bassballs pedal and sold them both. After buying an Ibanez synth SB7 pedal because it did most of what the other two could do and more! Plus it was cheap as hell MF has sound samples on their site check it out.

Neither get a better/different filter pedal.

Have a look at:
