Electro Harmonix Doctor Q Envelope Filter/Follower Pedal (Pre-Owned)

Description

Pedals like Doctor Q are a bit of a curiosity within the vintage market.
Built at a time when the battle between the wah-wah and the envelope filter was still going, it’s a great example of a good effect that has more or less fallen by the way-side in recent years. That’s not to say you won’t find auto-wah pedals on the market. Pedals like Boss AW-3 – a basic auto-wah with little to no bells or whistles – are decent enough, but at the same time, they’re not particularly special.

When you get right down to it, modern auto-wahs tend to be a pretty vanilla take on this effect. Yes, they’ll give you an auto-wah of sorts, but they won’t do anything all that special with it. If you want really nice envelope filter, then your best bet is to hop on to the second-hand pedal markets and find yourself a Doctor Q.

The auto-wah – also known as an envelope filter – seeks to solve this problem by handing control back to the pedal. While it can’t offer quite the same natural, voice-like sound as a classic wah, the effect of the Doctor Q – and other auto-wah pedals – works well to simulate that sound in a way that takes the pressure off of the player.
