Purchased by us an authorized Electro-Harmonix Dealer in May 1998, the Electro-Harmonix Q-TRON classic Envelope Follower has become a highly respected and collectable vintage piece. This one has never been sold.
With a thick warm analog tone and funky sound, the Q-TRON is perfect for Guitar, Keyboard, Bass and almost any other instrument. The accompanying images accurately describe the Q-TRON's appearance. I would rate it a conservative 9.5 out of 10.
Performance and operation? ...as designed.
Some additional AND important E-H Q-TRON backgound from the folks at Wikipedia:
In 1995, Electro-Harmonix owner Mike Matthews commissioned Mike Beigel, former owner of Musitronics Corp. and inventor of the MU-TRON-III envelope filter, to design a new envelope filter using the same analog circuitry as the original MU-TRON-III, thus keeping the sound as close to the original as possible while adding new features to bring the effect into the new millennium. The pedal featured the same controls as the Mu-tron-III and incorporated a "Boost" feature, which activates an internal pre-amp and changes the function of the gain knob giving the Q-TRON a sound almost identical to the MU-TRON-III.
Everyone loves the famous Mutron-III designed by Mike... We here at M.E.S. Ltd. do, too... In fact we've recently sold our last NOS Mu-tron-III on this site... You can see others of Mr. Biegel's work HERE
