Home › Forums › Help/Technical Questions › Q tron+ bypass switch
This past week I purchased a Q tron+ to satisfy my funkadellic tendancies and I’m loving the damn thing a lot!
However, the bypass switch requires QUITE a bit of force to be engaged and disengaged. I’ve never owned an Electro-Harmonix pedal of any sort so I don’t know if this is normal for these pedals or not. It wouldn’t be a problem if the loud click/pop sound of the switch wasn’t insanely loud through my amp.
Do I have a defective pedal, or are all EH pedals like this?
That’s the way EH pedals are. What brands do you usually use?
Thank you, thats good to know, I can stop worrying now.
The last few years I haven’t used pedals much at all, but when I did they were Boss or Ibanez. I found myself in need of a high quality envelope filter, and after a couple days of research I decided the Q Tron+ was gonna be my best bet. I love the sound so much I’m having a hard time not overusing it now, lol.
I love my Q-Tron+. I actually do leave it on a good amount of the time. It just adds life to the sound and can be obvious or subtle. Have you put anything in the fx loop yet?
I haven’t tried anything in the FX loop yet, but am very eager too! I still need to hunt down a good octave pedal, as well as a good digital delay and a phaser for live use (crap I think I need a whammy too….)so I’m sure those will be fun to experiment with.
Took the Q tron+ to practice on Friday and the bass player was using his digitech envelope filter….and to me there was no comparison, I know I made the right choice. We cover a lot of 311, and while I know Mahoney is using a Mutron III, the Q tron sounds good enough in its own right to handle that territory nicely.
