If you're a player with an affinity for classic auto-wah sounds, but you prefer streamlined controls, you'll dig the Electro-Harmonix Micro Q-Tron. This stompbox is powered by an internal envelope follower, which analyzes the dynamics of your playing to determine the intensity of the wah effect. When you pick harder, you'll get a wider frequency sweep; when you pick more softly, you'll produce a subtler sound. And It's a breeze to dial in — a few twists of the Micro Q-Tron's three knobs is all that stands between you and all the funky, Garcia-style quack you can handle. The Micro Q-Tron features true-bypass switching, and it's housed in a rugged, road-ready die-cast chassis that's compact enough for even the most crowded of pedalboards. Players searching for an easy-to-use envelope filter pedal owe it to themselves to plug into the EHX Micro Q-Tron.

Streamlined, 3-knob layout
The full-sized Q-Tron pedal is a lot to digest — it's a bit intimidating. That's why Electro-Harmonix created the Micro Q-Tron. This compact stompbox is tailor-made for players who want to plug in and rip through a couple bars of "Estimated Prophet" without a ton of tweaking. The Micro Q-Tron includes a Drive control that sets your sensitivity and filter sweep range; a Q control that sets the filter's bandwidth from smooth to all-out funky; and selectable lowpass, band-pass, or highpass filters.
