    Hello. I have a problem with my newly bought EHX Micro Q-tron pedal. I play saxophone and i got myself this sweet pedal. I don’t know alot about effects pedal, but i wanted to start out so i bought the Q-tron and a HOF mini reverb pedal for a start. When i play the reverb works fine but when i try to use the Q-tron i come across that the pedal dosen’t apply the effect. I suspect it that the signal output from the Q-tron might be too low and that I therefore might need a pre-amp Like a ART Tube MP to boost the signal before it reaches my amplifier?
    My setup is this:

    Microphone: Shure SM57
    <=>
    Pedals: Q-tron – HOF mini
    <=>
    Amp: Behringer Ultratone KT-108

    Again i’m not very experienced with effects pedals and i don’t know if I need to amplify the signal from the Q-tron or what… Help is much apreciated. Thx.

    Here’s my rig, still a work in progress. I leave the reverb on all the time, at least a little. When you turn off the bypass loop, the sound goes right to the looper, delay, and reverb. when the loop is on, the Q-tron and compressor come into the chain. Just leave them switched on all the time so when you open the loop it will kick in immediately, no extra stomping.
