Not sure if it's the settings or the circuit itself, but the Mu-Tron is so much more controlled and focused across all notes, nothing is peaky or jumps out, midrange is liquid. Tru-Tron has a lot of uneven resonance, low mids get blurry and all kinds of peaky notes jump out aggressively. I'm not a player, I'm an engineer, from my perspective the Mu-Tron will sit perfectly in the mix (as it's doing here), the Tru-Tron will need a lot of tweaking to get it to play nice. Ah well, time to bite the bullet and get the vintage piece for my room...
The House of Kush Yes, I was pretty smitten with the new one as we are wont to be when we get new gear. But after a while, after the honeymoon, I sold the Tru-Tron and traded the Mutron.
I used Facebook. Here's a pretty comprehensive thread on thegearpage that has a record of the details from the first announcement through as of this post: www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=1321531&highlight=new+mutron

Sweet playing! You have some great chops. Thanks for sharing.

Nice demo dude.
The vintage Mutron wins, hands down. Very smooth and clear.
flavomarginatus Agreed. The Tru-Tron sounded weird after the honeymoon was over. Sold. Wish I hadn't because now they're ridiculously pricey!
Mutron is the best! Excellent video.
SOO funky man!
Not only does the Mutron sound better, it is also built a whole lot better! Built like a tank!
MrCamelneck Agreed. I had a change of heart and sold the new one. (Traded the vintage one too. Regret only the latter.)
where can you get a tru-tron?

Google tru tron 3x and you can order it directly from the manufacturer.
Mutron...
Original Mutron so much better.
