In certain combinations, can sound really awful when the square wave is engaged. Like a fuzz pedal, it works better with some than others or may not work at all.
I have tried combining it with boost pedals at the pre/post stage, with varied results. The pedal has no general volume boost available, which potentially renders the pedal unsuitable for live situations. In most of the live situations I'm in, I need to have a drastic rise in volume when switching from rhythm to solos. The pedal essentially works on unity-gain levels. There is however one drawback in the current design. It'll keep you aware of your legato technique and phrasing, which can only expand your musicality. You will have to change your playing to adapt to this pedal, which is a good thing. It has some really cool features that allow you to compete with or completely replace the lame keyboardist in your band -) Think the solo on Queen's "I Want To Break Free" - it can easily be replicated with the MicroSynth! And although it is ideal to have an amp set up that is capable of responding to the frequencies it generates, it will still sound great in smaller amps and less-than-ideal set ups. I have always loved this pedal from the time I first played the predecessor version way back in the day. The dimensions are 143 x 119 x 60 mm (5.6 x 4.7 x 2.4 inches) - for some reason it was impossible to find the actual pedal's dimensions listed anywhere online! It came with its own power supply, but with the 9 V negative-center DC setting, I was able to daisy-chain it to the power supply of my other pedals without any problem. The EHX is neither given nor immediate access to, but it has SOUND.Kudos to Electro Harmonix for reducing the physical size in this new version. Before buying it I had tried a Boss Bass Synthesizer, and frankly there's nothing to see (the sound I was not convinced and the tracking was rotten). Always with an ultra-fat analog color file that banana. One can get a whole range of sounds associated with the synthesizers 70 and 80 years, percussive sounds or rather great sounds dub, more or less dirty, effects such e-bow.

When I tried this pedal in the store I had obtained that changes a bit crappy of a synthetic fuzz sound, but it can do more! As such the "manual" (3 copies STAPLED ugly crooked) has the merit of giving some examples of settings that help to understand well the effect of various parameters in the grip: how to get her to the Minimoog, Taurus, ARP, Prophet, a autowah, a fuzz. To sum up, I put a fair rating but it just means that it takes time to learn to use it. Of course, there is no memory of different settings, so you have them down on little pieces of paper.Ī word about the tracking: very good, but the pedal reacts badly to agreements in general, you just know (although in theory this to work). We must spend a lot of time tweaking the sound to make the most of this pedal, as on a synthesizer in fact, or have fun has turned all the buttons, eventually realizing that it makes a moment ago that s 'fun and you do not always find the sound. The mixture of different parameters sometimes gives surprising results, and depending on the settings, the fact of a knob can move slightly change the sound significantly. But it does not mean that the sound edition easy. The general setup is simple, in the sense that we can understand what knob does what: the sensitivity, the octaves, the "distortion", the filter. Note, the gain of the pedal is a rule of origin for a passive bass pickups single coils, but you can adjust it as necessary with the help of a trimpot inside the case. Rate: rate at which the filter moves up or down, if we chose the frequencies start / stop different. Start / stop frequency: provides a filter effect up or down.

Attack delay: if you put something other than zero, the sound will take time to reach full volume, ca thus yields the effects of such e-bow. Sound that is close to a fuzz, whose intensity is determined by the volume of the bass and the attack on the rope. The upper octave is pretty dirty and distorted (I like). Suboctave / guitar / octave: octave -1, 0 +1. Trigger: sensitivity from which the filter kicks in (does not affect the octaves). Bass pedal synthesizer 100% analog, although as always with EHX beefy.
