Well your videos are amazing !!! Really inspiring . I stand corrected. I always thought the micro synth in its current configuration was basically a synth that tracked incoming signals. I have watched everyone of your videos now and have some great ideas for chaining up my ehx pedals in new ways. Going to find one of the reverbs and add it to the herd.

@stalag3333 Thanks!

The Cathedral is a wonderful reverb. I know you will dig it. The infinite mode is so cool.

[stalag3333]

I think this is really cool but, how is a electro harmonix micro synth not a synth? Also the video says the chords in the original used a classic poly synth but, all the synths were mono synths in the original. Great job tho

[Effectology]

@stalag3333 The Micro Synth contains no oscillators.

It is a distortion unit with an envelope filter.

As for a Polysynth, I said the HOG pedal creates a polysynth sound not the original band.

really good and inspiring - just to make sounds that arent on damn VSTs!!

BUT - you got the bassline completely wrong in the first part!!

[Effectology]

artistic liberty :-)

[omegavalderrama]

Damn, I want a Micro Synth so bad!!! EHX is by far my favorite efx pedal brand!!!

[Keepsu]

Sweet!

[dtoliaferro]

Truly amazing and inspiring! Thanks for the video!

You should've used EHX's V256 Vocoder to do the "Autobahn" voice at the begining of the song. That would have been awesome.

@Effectology you guys just took my production to a whole new other level possibly another world
