Key Features

  • Vol (Volume) knob which controls the pedal’s output volume
  • Drive Control adjusts its filter sweep sensitivity and how the pedal responds to the user’s playing dynamics
  • Q Control sets the peak bandwidth of the filter and determines how subtle or dramatic the effect will be
  • LP BP HP Mode Switch controls what frequency range the filter will pass. LP (low pass) emphasizes the lows, BP (band pass) the midrange and HP (high pass) the highs
  • Pedalboard friendly, compact, rugged enclosure
  • True Bypass switching
  • Comes equipped with a 9 Volt battery and can also be powered by an optional 9 Volt power supply

Here's what Electro Harmonix say about the Nano Q-Tron Envelope Filter

Envelope controlled filter is an effect type that ventures beyond the mainstream yet is equally at home in a wide range of genres and equally effective on guitar, bass, keys, horns and more. Electro-Harmonix is a pioneer in this effect category and has been making envelope controlled filter pedals since the 1970s! The Nano Q-Tron springboards off that deep heritage.

Here’s how it works: The Nano Q-Tron responds to the user’s playing style and dynamics. The volume of the input signal it receives (also called the envelope) controls the cutoff or center frequency of a swept filter. This allows the Nano Q-Tron to create tone-altering effects ranging from subtle to dynamic, auto-wah to ultra-funky. It’s all about how you play and it’s super interactive.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Envelope

Envelope effects respond dynamically to how hard or softly you play, shaping the sound based on the input signal rather than a fixed control. The effect opens and closes in real time, creating tonal changes that follow your picking or playing dynamics.

They are most commonly associated with envelope filters and auto-wah effects, producing expressive, vocal-like sweeps that react to touch and groove. Envelope effects are widely used in funk, jam, electronic, and experimental music, where rhythmic feel and player interaction are central to the sound.

Filter

Filter effects shape tone by allowing certain frequencies to pass through while reducing or removing others. By sweeping or adjusting the cutoff point, filters can dramatically change the character of a sound, from subtle tonal shaping to bold, expressive sweeps.

Filters are commonly used in pedals, synthesizers, and processors, often in the form of low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass designs. They are valued for their ability to create movement, focus, and texture, especially in funk, electronic, ambient, and experimental music.

Nano

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.
