Q-TRON PLUS

Envelope Controlled Filter with External Loop and

“Response” Control

Congratulations on your purchase of the Q-Tron Plus enhanced envelope controlled

filter. It is a very powerful tool for musical expression. Please take a few minutes to

familiarize yourself with the Q-Tron Plus features and controls.

Envelope controlled filters are unique sound modifiers since the intensity of the effect

is controlled by the user’s player dynamics. The volume (also known as the envelope)

of the musician’s notes are used to control a swept filter. As the volume of your notes

changes, so does the peak frequency of the filter.

-CONTROLS-

Gain Control (0-11)– In normal mode, the gain control acts as a filter sensitivity

control and has no effect on the unit’s output volume. In Boost mode, the Gain

control functions as both a volume control and the filter sensitivity control.

Boost Switch (Normal/Boost) – Normal mode passes input signal through the filter at

its original level. Boost mode increases the signal gain to the filter according to the

Gain control setting.

Response Switch (Fast/Slow) – Changes the sweep response between two optimized

settings. “Slow” response creates a smooth vowel-like response. “Fast” response

produces a snappy response identical to the original Q-Tron.

Drive Switch (Up/Down) – Selects the direction of the filter sweep.

Range Switch (Hi/Lo) – Emphasizes vowel-like sounds in low position and overtones

in high position.

Peak Control (0-11) – Determines the resonance peak or Q of the filter. Turning the

control clockwise increases the Q and creates a more dramatic effect.

Mode Switch (LP, BP, HP, Mix) – Determines what frequency range the filter will pass.

Emphasize bass with Low Pass, midrange in Band Pass and treble with the High Pass.

Mix mode combines BP with the dry instrument signal.

Bypass Switch (In/Out) - Toggles between effect mode and True Bypass. When the

Q-Tron Plus is in bypass, the effect loop is also bypassed.

Your Playing Dynamics-The Q-tron Plus’ effect is controlled by the user’s player

dynamics. Strong attack will yield a more dramatic effect, while a softer playing yields

more subtle ones.

-EFFECTS-

The Effects loop allows you to place an additional musical effect between the Q-Tron

Plus’ preamp and filter sections without any alteration of the envelope drive. This

allows the full dynamic response to your playing while greatly increasing the sound

possibilities: Fuzz, soft distortion, echo and chorus, octave divider etc.

When you use an external effect in the Effect’s Loop, the footswitch on the external

effect can control whether the signal is “in” or ”out”. The Q-Tron Plus footswitch will

always switch between the Q-Tron process and the original input signal regardless of

the state of the external effect.

-JACKS-

Input Jack- Musical instrument signal input. The input impedance presented at this

jack is 300 kΩ.

Effects Out Jack- Output to amplifier. The output impedance is 250 Ω.

FX Loop Send Jack- Musical instrument signal output to external musical effect. The

output impedance is 250 Ω.

FX Loop Return Jack- From External musical effect output to Q-Tron Plus filter

process. The input impedance presented at this jack is 300 kΩ.

-AC ADAPTOR-

Your Q-Tron Plus comes equipped with a 24 volt DC (inner positive) / 100mA external

power adapter. Use only the power adapter that is supplied! Using the wrong adapter

can cause serious bodily injury and may damage your unit. This will void the

warranty.

-OPERATION-

Set all controls to minimum. Connect your instrument to the input jack and your

amplifier to the effect out jack. Optionally connect an external effect to the Effects

Loop. The unit’s power LED should be lit. Set the Q-Tron Plus’ controls to the

following:

Drive Switch: UP

Response Switch: Slow

Range Switch: Low

Mode Switch: BP

Peak Control: Maximum

Boost Control: Normal

Gain Control: Variable*

* Vary the gain control until the Overload Indicator LED lights on the loudest notes

that you play. If no effect is noticeable, depress the Bypass switch to engage the

effect. With this setting the user should be able to approximate the sound of an

automatic wah-wah pedal.

Experiment with these settings to see how the Q-Tron Plus reacts to playing

dynamics. Adjusting the Gain and Peak controls will vary the amount and intensity of

the effect. For tonal variations adjust the Range, Mode and Drive controls.

To attain an effect similar to an original Mu-Tron III, set the Q-Tron Plus’ controls to

the following:

Drive Switch: Down

Response Switch: Fast

Range Switch: Low

Mode Switch: BP

Peak Control: Mid Point

Boost Control: Boost

Gain Control: Variable*

* Vary the gain control until the Overload Indicator LED lights on the loudest notes

that you play. Increasing gain will saturate the Filter, yielding the famous “chewy”

Mu-Tron like sounds. Adjusting the peak control will vary the intensity of the effect.

For tonal variations, adjust the Range, Mode and Drive controls.

-OPTIONS FOR USE-

The Q-Tron Plus can be used with a wide variety of electronic instruments. Here are

some setting tips for use with different instrument types.

Range Control- Lo range is best for rhythm guitar and bass. Hi range is best for lead

guitar, brass and winds. Both ranges work well for keyboards.

Mix Mode: Works especially well with bass guitar (may require higher peak settings).

Drive Switch: Down drive works well with Bass guitar. Up Drive is best with guitar

and keyboards.

The Q-Tron Plus can also be used in conjunction with other effects pedals. Here are

some interesting combinations.

Q-Tron Plus and Big Muff (or tube amp distortion)- Place the distortion device after

the Q-tron Plus in the signal chain, or effects loop. The use of distortion will

dramatically increase the intensity of the Q-Tron Plus’ effect. You can also place the

distortion before the Q-Tron Plus but this combination tends to flatten the dynamic

response range of the effect.

Q-Tron Plus into a Q-Tron Plus - (or another Q-Tron in effects loop) - Try this with

one unit in the up drive position and the other in the down drive position.

Q-Tron Plus and Octave Multiplexer- Place the octave divider before the Q-Tron Plus

in the signal chain or in the effects loop. Use an octave divider, which maintains the

natural envelope of the signal. This combination will yield sounds similar to an analog

synthesizer.

Q-Tron Plus and compressor, flanger, reverb etc in effects loop- create interesting

tonal colors while retaining full control of the Q-Tron Plus’ filter sweep.

Try experimenting with other effects and effect placement (before Q-Tron Plus, after

it or in the effects loop) to achieve your own unique sound. When used properly the

Q-tron Plus will provide a lifetime of playing pleasure.
