sounds great!

I've been messing around with Blue Box-style sub octave fuzzes, fuzz circuits, octavia circuits, and all kinds of low pass filters for a while now, and I still believe you just can't beat the sound of the EHX Microsynth!

[JonDeth]

I don't think these units are all that great and no offense to your mod intended. A lot of the effects are just a delayed feedback path, modulated feedback path and pitch shifting. Hit it with some filters and you get to call it a synth?

The one I invented is far simpler but does far more IMO.

@JonDeth I'd like to hear your design. Do you have any sound clips?

[JonDeth]

@shotgunndunn my channel is crude but there is a clip on it from a few years ago with a horn like sound. Since then I have revised and greatly improved it. As stands it has a voicing that is sort of synth/horn in texture and then a low/high pass filter. I still have not gotten around to posting the revised sound clips.

Combined with something like a Zoom or a Pod though and it sounds like a classic key mooger.

Can you mod an envelope filter with a cry baby, to adjust the speed with the wah?

Thanks, great vid, wicked mod.

[shotgunndunn]

@winkydee I haven't done it yet, but it is the same principle. PM me if you are interested.

That is way cool!!!

So would you say the Bass Microsynth is better on guitar than the normal Microsynth is?

[insaneinthebrain1978]

absolutely absolutely!!! why are you usin a crybaby pedal instead of an ernie ball on your recent mods ? thx and all the best...someday you ll be famous for ya mods dude!!!

[shotgunndunn]

@insaneinthebrain1978 They are much easier to come by and cheaper too. This helps me to keep my prices down.
