Electro-Harmonix Doctor Q Nano

I've just bought a new Electro-Harmonix Doctor Q Nano version yesterday, I dont hear any WAH sound when I use it with my bass guitar...All I hear is some swishing sound but no WAH.. I tried turning the "trim pot" to the left, but still no wah sound..just louder swishing sound..

have you tried it with a guitar? i could be way off here, but it may be designed to work with the guitar rather than bass frequencies (if that's the right word)

i have an older dr q, that does some pretty nice wah sounds, but i've never tried with a bass

seriously, the nano q is a waste of $50. trim pot does nothing, sell it and count your losses.

I found the same thing when I tried it with a guitar. Very disappointing pedal for me, doesn't work well with how I play. Try the BassBalls nano, much better IMHO for guitar and bass than the nano Q...

I wasn't a huge fan of this one either. I play guitar, and was thinking it might be better tuned to bass, but maybe that is not the case. If you open up the back, it does have an internal trim pot that you can use to change the response. I would say either sell it and find a "mini"Qtron for about the same, or mess with the trim pot on the inside.
