  • 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?

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

    Thanks, great vid, wicked mod.

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

  • 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!!!

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

  • 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!

  • @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.

  • That is way cool!!!

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