question: why did you choose a mini qtron over a micro qtron?? they have pretty much identical circuits, only the micro is half the size, suppose it doesnt matter if your setup is complete but there would be certainly more space for another

Everyone knows the mini has more mojo!question: why did you choose a mini qtron over a micro qtron?? they have pretty much identical circuits, only the micro is half the size, suppose it doesnt matter if your setup is complete but there would be certainly more space for another
true, but if your going for mojo, you just HAVE to get the original q-tron
Definitely! I was going to add that comment but decided to keep it simple and to the point
It's minier than the other two big ones and it's still got a bit of mojo left in it. The micro is just cold.
I bought the Mini before the Micro version was announced. I know its big, but it really is a fantastic filter. very simple to set up and it does have "mojo"!
Using the Punch factory after the Mini Q tames out the annoying volume spike which is the only real flaw the Mini has, except for the size.
I apologize for posting the photos longways. I think I have this Photobucket thing finally figured out after some tiral and error.

You got an amp instead of that stereo?
I sure hope it's true
lol, i wish!
Hopfully sometime in the future I can afford one of the Berg IPs or even just a Roland D-Bass 115 with an extension cab...
True. Unfortunatly most, if not all, are going to be leaving in september for school, etc. Probably gonna loose contact with 'em...
It is/was a Brownsville 15G, 15 watt guitar practice amp. I'm using it to add a bit of grit/crunch to my sound. If you noticed, I have the splitter coming out of the CS3, one line is going to an input of my amp, the other is going through the 15G and then to my amps other input. I'm gonna rehouse it in a much smaller casing (well, it'll still be long, but it wont be as deep), about 11x3.5x3.5 in.
I'm gonna run it with a Barge Concepts VBF-2 in a loop by itself so I can turn it on and off and I don't always want the grit.

Next up I think is either an EHX POG, EHX Little Big Muff, Sub-Decay Noisebox or a Boss DD-20. GAS hurts.

There are MUCH cheaper ways of doing this.
Click here and it should lead you to a Loop Master page. The loop master breaks it down to the basics, no blend (which I don't think you'd really need as its a fully functioning preamp) or feedback loop (again, I don't see a use for it). Its taken down to just the on-off switch and an optional LED. Its smaller than an MXR pedal and plain its only $35, with the LED its only $45.
I actually wanted to mention those, I just couldn't for the life of me remember the name.
I most definitely be picking the mini loop up.

I think on the other hand that a blender would be cool, so you could mix your dry signal with some grit or high end distortion.
I love that possibility. What I do is split my signal, 1 output goes through my amp, the 2nd goes trhoug my effectsand 2nd amp, or eventually the 2 outputs to a mixing board. I love it with the big muff set on high freqs fuzz (middle pot all the way to the right).
I'm not Tbirdbassist, but from the way he's describing it, if I were the one using the preamp, I would want it to be like switching over to a 'lead' channell on my amp. The preamp he's using has bass, mid, and treble control, so if he wants more of any of those he can have them. The blender would seem kind of pointless in that situation.
And I wasn't putting down the VFB at all. I'm going to order a custom VBF-2 here soon, I just have other things I need to take care of (i.e. a new rig).
