And why not the EHX Q-tron???[/quote] Like I said Univox, Monacor and Coron if you find my thread on the Monacor Effectomatic you can see what it looks like and all 3 look the same. The Q-tron regardless of what people say is not a Mutron clone, it's not even close and IMHO (Humble yeah right) it's crap, it has a huge volume jump, the sweeps are generally to big to make it useable in a band situation. But bare in mind bootsy use to use a couple of mutrons on different parts of his signal like splitting it and have a Mutron on eqach side of the chain but one should get close enough. Else the most musical filter I've used is the Mojo Hand (Previously Tone Factor) 442 (with Bass Mod) on it's own it doesn't sound that impressive but in a band mix it really shines which is like the opposite of the Q-tron.

But I think this period - when he was playing with James Brown is even better (wasn't he still only 17 or 18 at the time?). [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzMdklbWDGw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzMdklbWDGw[/url] Whacking it out with that early 70's Jazz bass. Fabulous! And this one in '71 has James calling Bootsy out for a solo (about 3 mins in). [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPyaF7_iUTA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPyaF7_iUTA[/url] Off-the-scale!
