The Micro Q-Tron nails that classic 70s auto-wah vibe in a super-portable package. It's a simple, effective tool for adding rhythmic pulse and groove, especially for funk, reggae, and rock players seeking a distinctive, automated wah effect. While it lacks manual control, its core sound is undeniably cool and easy to dial in.

Product Description

Electro Harmonix Micro Q-Tron, Envelope Follower

Generally known as Auto-Wah, the Electro Harmonix Qtron had its heyday in the 70s. However today we often hear again this very distinctive sound. The Micro Qtron comes in smaller housing, but just like its big older brother it is ideally suited to make a guitar rhythm even more striking and groovy. With it so many great Auto-Wah sounds can be covered.

  • Little brother of the Q-Tron
  • Continuously variable Auto-Wah sound
  • Good bass reproduction
  • Metal housing
  • Stable switch
  • Dimensions (W x D x H): 102 x 121 x 89 mm
  • Power supply with a 9 V battery or a 9 V DC power supply (coaxial connection - negative inside - not included
  • Article Nr #409939#)
PROS
  • • Compact size makes it pedalboard-friendly, even on smaller boards
  • • Metal housing provides a surprisingly robust and durable feel
  • • Excellent bass response maintains low-end clarity and thump
  • • Continuously variable sweep offers a wide range of funky auto-wah textures
CONS
  • • Limited control options restrict precise sound shaping capabilities
  • • True bypass isn't present; always slightly alters the signal
  • • Power supply not included adds to the overall cost of operation

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a true bypass, the Micro Q-Tron’s bypass subtly alters the signal, though it’s generally unnoticeable unless you’re comparing it directly to your unaffected signal.
No, the Micro Q-Tron is exclusively an auto-wah, meaning it's controlled by your playing dynamics, not an external expression pedal.
It captures the essence of the original Q-Tron's sound, but the Micro version is smaller, simpler, and lacks the original’s depth of control.
