    Here is some information from the manufacturer -
    - The NEW  Micro-Tron IV is the newest reincarnation of the classic Mu-Tron III™ envelope filter. The Micro-Tron IV provides all the classic Jerry tone and Bootsy funk, in a pedalboard-friendly size and powered by industry-standard 9V DC. We’ve also added an OUTPUT level control and the ability to footswitch select between UP and DOWN drives. It’s never been easier to cruise down “Shakedown Street” or get to “Higher Ground” – the Micro-Tron IV sounds amazing on guitar, bass, keys, horns, harmonica… you name it!
    The new Micro-Tron IV is based upon the award winning Micro-Tron III and improves it with our very own MU Opto-Mod technology. We have also added standard CV input to accept an expression pedal such as the Dunlop DVP4 without modification! Furthermore, you can send envelope Control Voltage to other units such as the Phasor III and Bi-Phase pedals.
    - The new Mu-Tron Opto-Mod, swappable technology allows you to change the overall ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) characteristics of your Micro-Tron IV.  For many years, the performance of any given Mu-Tron III was based on the electrical performance of the photo-couplers which were used to give the devices their unique and expressive feel.  Unfortunately, not all of these photo-couplers behaved the same and depending on what other components had drifted from their stated values, some units were magical and others were lackluster.    With the new Opto-Mod modules, we are able to precisely calibrate every unit to the same Mu-Tron standard of perfection.
    We designed the “Gold” Opto-Mod to behave like the vintage Hamamatsu 0805a photo-coupler found in the vintage Mu-Tron III pedals.  It produces a very pleasing, general-purpose “curve” which works well in all settings.  This is the stock Opto-Mod that comes in all Micro-Tron IV.
    The “Red” Opto-Mod, has a slightly slower attack and decay time, which offers a longer “curve.” It is a bit chewier and is great for slower, swampy types of music.  Also, in the “Vintage Mu-Tron pre-amp jumper mode,” the Red Opto-Mod can get a little grittier.  This unit models an older Mu-Tron III which has drifted out of factory calibration.
    The “Blue” Opto-Mod has a much steeper Attack and Release and is more suitable for fast, “Jaco” style bass playing.  If you like to play 16th and 32nd notes and your filter just can’t keep up, this may be the one for you.
