EHX Qtron Nano

[lee650]

So, looks like EHX finally gave the fantastic Qtron the Nano treatment.

 

They've added a volume to the Micro/mini 3 controls,but i think adding a clean blend (or the old big box mix mode) and an up/down switch, would have made this a killer filter.  A missed opportunity?

 

I'm quite interested to see if this sounds like the Micro or if they've managed to recreate the original tone.

Sounds nice on the short Bass Demo 😁

Yes!!!! My true filter love. I ADORE the original, even if both of mine developed speaker-blowing capabilities. It’s the tone, feel and response I’m always chasing in other filters. Don’t mind the lack of blend, and a volume control was a mod I had done on both of mine. Colour me excited by this!

Holy crap I’ll certainly be checking this out. Shame about the lack of mix mode and down sweep but the addition of a volume knob is very welcome.

Yeah! It doesn't seem available here at the moment. I have seen it at £85 +postage from a European vendor. I think I'm going to get one of these.

I'd have loved a couple of features from the old big box, but as you say, the volume control and smaller size make it worth having.

That's a great price. But 20% VAT and £12 Customs handling on top maybe?

Well yes! I was thinking the same thing. I'll wait till they get in the UK. It may translate to nearer £100 once we get them in.

That's still way better than pretty much all the competition. And if it's 90% as good as a 3Leaf Proton Mk4, to the point that an audience doesn't notice, why wouldn't you get this instead?

 

Obviously the proof will be in the A/Bing!

Yes absolutely. Why shell out good money for new kit, if what you have is already excellent? Not everyone has money to burn.

Absolutely - but not my point, never mind just a joke

All being well, I’ll be in Germany for Christmas. Happy to bring one back if you get it sent to me there.

Thanks Peter, but I'll wait. He website, in question is showing not in stock, so must be taking pre-orders.

Hope this is available before Christmas. Wife keeps asking me what I want and I want this!

[lee650]

Ahh found this! Price where I thought it would be (£100 by the time it's shipped) and states delivery within 3 weeks.

[Quatschmacher]

I’ve got a 10% off voucher there (though saving that for a much bigger purchase).

[stewblack]

Just seen it on eBay  for 95 so guessing it's becoming more widely available. 

Anyone got one yet?

[Quatschmacher]

I know of another UK stockist who has one at £95, toying whether to buy it.

I think it’s only right that you should and report back to us all

[stewblack]

What Ped sed.

[SloppyChops]

Couple UK retailers have them now, this will be my next purchase on pay day. Just bought the Digbeth Pre amp.

Hopefully it tickles your pickle more than the micro version G. We both know the mini was where the real magic was! 

[Gareth Hughes]

I still look forlornly at my Mini sitting on the shelf and have to resist the urge to plug it in. My speakers would never forgive me.
