Electro-Harmonix Micro Q-Tron Envelope Filter Pedal

The Electro-Harmonix Micro Q-Tron is a compact analog envelope filter designed to deliver smooth, expressive, and funky wah-style tones without the need for a traditional foot-operated wah. Its internal envelope follower responds directly to the dynamics of your playing, sweeping the filter according to how hard or softly you play. From subtle tonal movement to pronounced funk-inspired effects, the Micro Q-Tron gives guitarists and other musicians an intuitive way to add character and motion to their sound.

Responsive Envelope Filter

The Micro Q-Tron analyzes the volume and attack of each note to control its filter sweep. Stronger attacks and louder playing create a wider frequency sweep, while softer playing produces a more subtle response. The Drive control adjusts sensitivity and the overall range of the filter sweep, making it easy to tailor the pedal to different playing styles.

Three Filter Modes

Selectable low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filter modes provide a range of tonal possibilities. Whether you're looking for smooth, rounded filtering, a focused vocal-like sweep, or a more pronounced funky sound, the Micro Q-Tron offers flexible control over the character of the effect.

Funky Tone in a Compact Design

A dedicated Q control adjusts the filter bandwidth from smooth and understated to dramatic and funky. The analog circuit, true bypass switching, and rugged die-cast chassis make the Micro Q-Tron a practical addition to a pedalboard for players who want expressive envelope-filter sounds in a compact format.
