lee650 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) 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 😁 Edited December 4, 2021 by lee650 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 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! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

But 20% VAT and £12 Customs handling on top maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Why shell out good money for new kit, if what you have is already excellent? Not everyone has money to burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Hughes Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
