Another purchase kind of on a whim, but also with a purpose in mind. I have been using the Electro-harmonix Micro Q-tron for years, and I have always wanted an envelope follower/autowah in a smaller size package. As good as the EHX is (and it is good), it does take up A LOT of space, especially when you are trying to get your pedal down to a smaller size. My dream is that TC Electronic include an autowah or envelope follower in the Nova System II (if there is actually going to be one!), but until then I have been stuck with the Q-tron. I did try the Doctor Q from EHX and it was AWFUL, beyond awful, probably the worse pedal I have ever tried. Anyway, after having quite a bit of joy with Joyo (see what I did there), Mooer seemed to be the new kid on the clone block, so I was always bound to give one of their pedals a try, and wow do they have a lot of pedals now (again I will leave the clone ethics to another day), and unlike Joyo, their pedals are in a nano size box, so the Funky Monkey was always going to be first on my list.I use the Q-tron on a couple of songs where there is the requirement to wah through out (i.e. something like Disco Inferno), with a pedal like this it is possible then to not be tied to the wah pedal and not wear you leg out constantly rocking it backwards and forwards. You could also emulate a 'cocked' wah position (ala Michael Schenker, Joe Satriani), by setting the rate to be very very low (or completely off), this would just give you the envelop shape, without the Q frequency of the filter moving. So all in all a very versatile little pedal.So most importantly what does it SOUND like?I would say it does the job, it is a little bit whooshy when you set it to higher rates and ranges, it lacks a little bit of bottom end, but for what it is it does a good job. Will I sell the Q-tron, no chance, does this solve a problem for me, yes it does. You have all the usual peak selections Hi, Mid and Low, my preference is mid, with the range about 3 o'clock and the q about 1 o'clock, with the rate set to about 2 o'clock. In this setup, for me it mimics the characteristics of the Q-tron, but of course without the envelope sensitivity. (I.e. because it isn't an envelope follower!).How easy is it to use?Very easy, select the mode of the filter (hi-med-lo peak) and the set the range and Q of the filter and the set the rate. This is the equivalent of setting the range of a typical wah pedal, i.e. the range from foot back to foot forward (or sweep) of the pedal. The Q (or width of the filter, from a notch to a wider band) and the setting the rate (i.e. if this was a real wah how quickly you are rocking your foot).There is 9V input but due to the nano size you can NOT use a battery.Are there any nice touches?It's small!Will it fall apart?No it is solidly built for sure, perhaps the main knob could get broken from overzealous stompingPros1)It has a wider range of options2)True Bypass3)SizeCons1)Size (yes this is a contradiction) as this can mean you end up stomping on the switches (probably my big feet), with some pedal boards when you attach the jack cables, the pedal might list to one side or the other.2)Range and Q controls a little bit fiddly and you can't see the position.Video review coming.I think I will have to check out more of the Mooer pedals!! Any recommendations?? PeaceNeil
