I've never owned one, but I love the way they look....the Octave Divider one would be great to have!

I have the C-200 vol/wah and the Octave Divider. They're both really great pedals! The Octave Divider was meant to be paired up with a green Big Muff I think. At least that's how I generally use mine  :D  It's a shame they cost so much now. I have less money between both of mine than what it would take to buy just the wah right now. I've had them both for several years now. I never liked wah pedals very much, but this one is different. The sweep is really wide and doesn't accentuate the mids like a normal wah. It sounds like phaser or flanger when you sweep real slowly with it.

I have an octave divider, It is weird fun I like dropping out the high octave and getting this seventies keyboard sound out of the guitar.  Endless fun.

I've always loved them from afar.. the vol/wah and octave divider especially. I just never got around to getting one when prices were more reasonable and now that they're not so reasonable who knows if I'll get that chance. I always hold out hope for that miracle pawn shop or garage sale find  :)

I recently got a trade offer, the phaser for my wob clone but I'm not much of a phaser user.. oh well

i'd like to score one of the pedal Flangers, but there aren't that many out there. I've only seen one, which was used quite effectively by the guitarist for Hovercraft.

I got to play through a Bi-Phase once in a studio in Austin. cool, but lugging it around would be a pain...like a Leslie or that weird Ludwig Phaser that Lee uses on Washing Machine.

That weird Ludwid Phaser is the Grail in my opinion.  Never seen it in person but in Analog Mike's effects book I guess it's pretty rare.  I have a Mutron Phasor as well that's pretty cool, I can get long cool sweeps with it.  Good to play riffy Kyuss stuff to.  Here is a pic of my Mutrons

Am I right in thinking the Q-tron is a straight up remake of the Mu Tron? Designed by the same bloke, I think...

I had a Mini Q-Tron for about 8 seconds. I eBayed it almost immediately when I recognised that I'd never, ever, ever, ever use it. Ever. The sound was a bit tinny and silly for my liking, and let's face it - I'm never going to be George Clinton.


But wait... something's happening... argh, urgh, splurch.. [sound of rippling skin and sudden knotting/colouring of hair]

Wow. That hurt.

I almost bought one of the Phasor IIs a few different times, but never did. I still use the Octave Divider a lot though. It has been one of my favorites since getting it several years back. I just stuck the vol/wah back in my setup too and kind of forgot how good it really sounded. I don't use a wah in the typical rock and roll kind of way, so it works great.

finally played a Pedal Flanger 2 weeks ago and it was the one from Hovercraft. i loved the look of it, but for the money i just couldn't pull the trigger. great flange sounds, but i thought it would do something sick and twisted with the pedal and it didn't.

nothing else looks quite like a mutron.

That, and if you have a Strat/Tele you're fucked. Basically anything without a side mounted jack is a no-go.
