EHX Dr. Q

Anybody tried a nano Dr. Q? Tried searching for one, couldn't really find anything in the forum.

I recently bought one off dub_junkie on here. Not had a chance to really use it in anger yet.

It sounds pretty crap if you throw the bass switch, it cuts a lot of bottom. A bit of a one trick pony, but it's cool if you're into that funky autowah kind of sound. More extreme settings can sound a bit 'quacky'. It'd probably do a reasonable Bootsy imitation with a bit of work, but as I said I've not really pushed it yet.

Just my £0.02 - YMMV

when you throw the bass switch and it cuts a lot of bottom - do you mean into the bass setting or back into the guitar setting?

Sorry, meant to say 'if you [b]don't[/b] throw the bass switch'. Yes, it sounds thin when not in bass mode.

ah that's alright then - if i had one it would probably be used in bass mode only anyway

[dub_junkie]

in bass mode its fine,forget it with guitar unless you're going to drive the front end of it pretty hard.

I've got one of these. Want to borrow it?

I found it to have very little effect. Much like all of the EHX filters.

I also found it to be too subtle. The Qtron & Qtron+'s are brill IMO; you can turn the effect right down to a similar level to the Dr. Q, but still have the flexibility to turn the funk right up if you fancy.
