Up for sale is my Mu-Tron Micro-Tron III. Boxed, and in as new condition with the addition of high quality velcro on the back. I've been through a bit of a pedal binge these last few months and with some bills coming up, unfortunately it's a last one in, first one out policy. With generous helpings of squelch and slurp this classic filter doesn't come up very often, so i'm hoping to pass it on to a fellow BCer that can get more use out of it than i can. Collection from brighton area, or postage for an extra £5er sorry no trades Here is the official line... The NEW Micro-Tron III is the newest reincarnation of the classic Mu-Tron III™ envelope filter. The Micro-Tron III provides all the classic Jerry tone and Bootsy funk, in a pedalboard-friendly size and powered by industry-standard 9V DC. We’ve also added an OUTPUT level control and the ability to footswitch select between UP and DOWN drives. It’s never been easier to cruise down “Shakedown Street” or get to “Higher Ground” – the Micro-Tron III sounds amazing on guitar, bass, keys, horns, harmonica… you name it! Controls: MODE LP (lowpass filter) passes all the signals below the peak and attenuates signals above the peak BP (bandpass filter) passes signals only near the peak and attenuates signals below and above the peak HP (highpass filter) passes all signals above the peak and attenuates signals below the peak RANGE LO sets the filter sweep to a low range for most rhythm guitar, bass and lower fret uses HI sets the filter sweep to a high range for accenting string harmonics or for up-the-neck and solo work LEVEL controls the ouput volume of the effected signal PEAK (or Q) controls the filter audio response from very weak to very strong GAIN controls the envelope and filter audio drive ON/OFF Footswitch engages or disengages the envelope filter effect UP/DOWN Footswitch UP position produces familiar “auto-wah” sound – like a heel-to-toe sweep on a wah pedal DOWN position produces a “down swoop” sound – like a toe-to-heel sweep on a wah pedal

I'm not sure what your getting at...
-
Surely comparison between 2 utilities that are supposed to have no effect on your tone is futile?Without an oscilloscope/frequency analyser that is...
-
Yes. Frequency.
-
I did make one, it's not too bad, but would need to be on the front row.
-
I'm officially taking orders for the Future compact. If you emailed me already you should have received an email by now with the details on ow to make an order. If you want to make an order please email to [email protected] with "future impact rehousing" in the subject to express your interest, and ill let you know how to order. Thanks

So I've been looking into this today, and i dont think its going to work. Not really. The thing is... due to the way the circuit board is internally right against the wall, i cant recess the footswitches like i can on the sides. so the switches will have to stick out further, which elongates the footprint almost to the point where you could just have them sticking out the top like the 1st "Future compact" design. so it kind of makes this variant redundant. The only reason to have the switches there would be to have it on the front row of the board, and therefore operated by the toe. But i don't want to dictate where people put a pedal, so it's not realy a valid reason. Therefore I will be sticking to the side loaded switches for the super compact.
-
yes i have already decided to move the knobs to the front for other reasons. And that's another reason to do so. Thanks
-
i will be offering them for sale very soon! email to [email protected] with "future impact rehousing" in the subject to express your interest and ill let you know as soon as im accepting orders. Orders will be made on a 1st come 1st served basis. I intend to make as many as people want in the first month, then i will print a few batches and that will be that.
-
Yes I considered it but I wouldn't shift too many of those! I'm happy to do a custom switch housing build for someone tho if that's what you want. It would be super easy to do the wiring.
-
i'm pretty much convinced now that the buttons should be on the lower side, as opposed to the side sides.
-
certainly beyond the scope of this project, but if you can find some buttons suitable, and are confident with a sildering iron, you could probably fit them above the circuit board on the top face. There's about 9mm in there i'm not using
-
see post 8 minutes ago...
-
do you mean change the switches? I wanted to keep the internals unmodified so its not only easy to reassemble, but also easy to revert back to the original housing for resale etc.
-
good spot. I'm on it
-
Thanks for your input! Yes i had considered the front but ended up choosing the sides from a usability perspective and to make the housing as short as possible... but it was a close call! After thinking about it again, i guess the trend is towards top mounted jacks for space saving purposes, which very much fits the theme of this project, so i think i've decided to put the switches on the bottom now! Thanks
-
This is a most excellent idea!
-
EVOLUTION!!!!

Ok. So I've been working on a variant of this design that reduces the size by another 17mm.... I call it the "super compact"!!! Granted there may not be much demand for this version.... But it's the one I will put on my board as I control via ES8. length is now 82mm from 154mm, that's a reduction of 46% The trade-off is that the switches are now only operated by hand! And protrude a small distance from the side of the pedal. I will be offering both designs for those that want one.
-
i've had a few people asking me if ill give/sell them the design... After some thought, i've decided not too. Not yet anyway. I've spent quite a few hours now honing the settings to make the text look acceptable. The chances are, anybody who prints this themselves will have to do the same... Also, i'm intending on selling these things. I have sunk quite a few days into this, and by giving the design away it allows others to do the same, and therefore potentially devaluing the design
-
Yes. Are you Yorkshireian?
-
Beta V4 is on the board! I've spent too long on the text already, i think this is about as good as i can get it. only a few small tweaks to some features and i'm calling it complete. Watch out for emails in the next few days telling you all how to get one.

Mr Sayers is surely a funk demon?
-
My testing shows no additional noise with my setup. However, i cannot guarantee that in your environment, with your power supply, that there won't be additional noise from interference. If you want to do it yourself, shielding foil only costs a few pounds and you'll get enough to do many many projects. The additional labour it would take to shield them all is unrealistic.
-
First test looks promising....
