MINI Q-TRON

Envelope Controlled Filter

Congratulations on your purchase of the Mini Q-Tron envelope controlled filter!
The envelope controlled filter is a unique type of sound modifier, in which the user’s
playing style controls the effect. The volume of the input signal (also called the
envelope) controls the cutoff frequency of a swept filter. As the volume increases or
decreases, so does the pitch of the filter.

- CONTROLS -

DRIVE CONTROL – The filter sweep sensitivity control. Determines the width of the

filter’s sweep range by the input signal. Produces more sweep when turned clockwise

Q CONTROL – Determines the frequency peak of the filter. Creates a more dramatic
effect when turned clockwise.

MODE SWITCH (LP, BP, HP) – Determines what frequency range the filter will pass
through. Emphasizes lows in LP (Low Pass), midrange in BP (Band Pass), and highs in
HP (High Pass).

FOOTSWITCH – Engages and disengages the effect.

CONNECTIONS – Connect your instrument to the Input jack and your amplifier to the

Output jack.

POWER – The Mini Q-Tron is powered by either a 9V battery or a 9V 100mA 1/8" tip
positive adaptor. Inserting a cable into the Input jack engages the battery. For longer
battery life disconnect the input cable when not in use.
