The Q-Tron+ can be used with a wide variety of electronic instruments. Here are some setting tips for use with different instrument types.
- Range Control: Lo range is best for rhythm guitar and bass. Hi range is best for lead guitar, brass and winds. Both ranges work well for keyboards.
- Mix Mode: Works especially well with bass guitar (may require higher peak settings.
- Drive Switch: Down drive works well with Bass guitar. Up Drive is best with guitar and keyboards.
- Q-Tron+ and Big Muff (or tube amp distortion) - Place the distortion device after the Q-tron+ in the signal chain, or effects loop. The use of distortion will dramatically increase the intensity of the Q-Tron’s effect. You can also place the distortion before the Q-Tron+ but this combination tends to flatten the dynamic response range of the effect.
- Q-Tron+ into a Q-Tron+ - (or another Q-Tron in effects loop) - Try this with one unit in the up drive position and the other in the down drive position.
- Q-Tron+ and Octave Multiplexer - Place the octave divider before the Q-Tron+ in the signal chain or in the effects loop. Use an octave divider, which maintains the natural envelope of the signal. This combination will yield sounds similar to and analog synthesizer.
- Q-Tron+ and compressor, flanger, reverb etc in effects loop- create interesting tonal colors while retaining full control of digital sweep.
