The problem is with that, as you say the pedal is so loud, the gain control when in boost mode has to be turned right down, thus also bringing sensitivity down with it. With a level control at the back-end of the Qtron, & when kept in normal mode, the gain (sensitivity) control can be adjusted to what ever suits the effect your after.[/quote] Thanks for the suggestion but Ive already tried every configuration available on the pedal and theyre all too loud For now Ill be using the Qtron+ in BP mode with a clean blend until I can be bothered to find someone local to do the mod for me.

Bought the DHA Fuzzy Feeling off Sk8. 100% satisfied here cheers!

See [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=114224&hl=qtron+volume"]Qtron volume thread here[/url] for discussion on the issue. Another option to control the volume spikes, would be put a limiter pedal after it. Something like the cheap Behringer one would no doubt tame it.[/quote] Great so until I mod it or buy a limiter its basically a useless pedal. Shame because it sounds incredible... What a retard to design such a great pedal with a crippling flaw..

[quote name='Alien' post='1085919' date='Jan 11 2011, 07:11 PM']I built a pedal last year for BC member mojobass that was an ABC box with volume controls. I reckon I could put together something that'll do what you want at a reasonable price (certainly cheaper than the Morley). PM me and we can discuss your needs. A[/quote] Hey Alien Thanks for the offer! I am interested and will Pm you monday. Cheers!

aaaaaaaaaaah a 'Combiner' Pedal is what I am after! Morley seem to do one and its a tad expensive for such a simple pedal... oh well atleast they exist!

Just got home and had a look at the SFX site. The Mix pedal is almost exactly what im after! just that it has no external volume or foot switch for either input... Getting closer though cheers!

Thanks the Behringer comes close but its still not what im after. Nothing wrong with the LS-2, again its not what im after either. Literally something like a passive vol/vol setup like you find in jazz basses but imagine the 2 inputs as the pickups and the output is, well the jack output! might have to make one myself shouldnt be too hard im thinking

Hi, Im currently trying to find a pedel that is simply 2 inputs each with their own volume and ideally, each with their own cut off switches, that lead into 1 output. The plan being to mix 2 channels of effects that branch off the big muff pi. Is there something out there thats compact, small, cheap and not the BOSS LS-1? ta.

[quote name='RichardFoggo' post='1073760' date='Dec 31 2010, 03:30 PM']+1 There are lots of options out there but Dave's valve ODs are real nice. I have the VT2 twin which gives me the flexibility I need with just a bit of grit on channel 1 and then full-on drive on channel 2, great control with EQ for both channels etc. Pricey but good. THere are simpler and cheaper DHA options.[/quote] +1 using a DHA VT2 twin pretty much gets me that Jack Bruce tone!

Hello I bought a used Qtron+ off a fellow bass chatter and now i have had a chance to use it in a rehearsal I have come to find its just too loud and I am unable to reduce the volume anymore, even when I turn the internal trimpot down. Switching from Low Pass to Mixed doesnt seem to make a difference either. Nor does playing softly. Is this a faulty Qtron+ or are they all like it? Cheers.

Just de-springed my Bass Cry Baby! Now its far far more useful to me! love it.

That green fretless is the best bass ive seen lately! Beautiful

ah stop being so fussy its just abit of fun! Im interested to see every type of pedal everyone is using today

Ashdown Chorus - 1 Boss TU2 - 1 Boxx chorus ensemble - 1 Digitech Whammy - 1 Dunlop Bass Cry Baby - 1 DHA VT2 Twin - 1 EHX Bass Micro Synth - 1 EHX POG2 - 1 EHX Qtron+ - 1 Guyatone MD-3 delay - 1 Sansamp Bddi - 2 Way huge swollen pickle - 1 Thought Id sort in alphabetical order just encase this kicks off

Since I own one of these and am having endless amounts of joy creating incredible synth tones from this tiny box of wonders Id thought Id clear a few things up to all those keen on buying one but have researched and read all the horror stories about the new version. ok so to begin with I'm playing a passive bass but with stupidly high output pickups (more than i bargained for!) and just my bass plugged into my Little Mark II head I have to keep the Gain to 10 o'clock to not clip the amp. Now reading all the horror stories I'll list the ones I am aware of: -Sound cutting out early when sustaining a long note, -Sub Octave voice distorting when pushed, -Not enough Headroom for each voicing. Well I admit upon first plugging mine in I had the distorted Sub Octave when playing hard, however the sound wouldn't cut off for a good 20-30 seconds when holding a note and the same volume of the True-Bypass was reached when the the Guitar Voicing was just above half way. Now you see, the clever buggers at Electro Harmonics added an internal gain trim-pot inside the Micro Synth. This, which so many people fail to realise is mentioned in the Instruction manual. Factory setting is about 70-75%, apparently set for use with your average passive single coil bass. After adjusting through trail and error, I found the right setting. And what do you know, all the above issues are no longer an issue and the pedal works 100%, notes sustain for ages (although not forever) and the volumes of each voicing are all balanced except the square wave which is always going to sound huge! No distortion from the Suboctave. To conclude, this is such a hell of a pedal with many many many usable settings. 10/10!

Bought a Qtron+ off Seyton. Couldnt be happier with the sale, top bloke. He was very patient while I emailed the other people who have bought previously off him to check feedback. Postage was super quick and of a high standard of packaging. Item exactly as described. Highly recommended! Matt.

If you can find one: Yamaha bb414 Fretless. Look no further for great tone and build quality at budget price

Problem is all sorted now thanks to the amazing people at the Bass Merchants for isolating the problem to my bass and Martyn Booth to find out what it was and fix it! Turns out it was a short circuit in my bass as I have a pickup selector switch which I must have knocked mid way through a set and that had resulted in it rotating and connecting to something it shouldn't have. Ended up replacing the drivers in my Epifani cab anyway as one of the drivers had developed a annoying buzz before the incident at the gig (this is why I assumed it was the drivers failing at the gig) So I now have a 600w at 8 Ohms 2x12! which suits me more as I can stack another 2x10 or 4x10 on top to add more presence at larger gigs. All sorted and not much money spent! Thanks again all of those mentioned. I am utterly relieved... Thanks for the recommendation anyway Markstuk.
