Effective use of the slider controls is of course the key to unlocking the myriad number of sounds from the Micro Synthesizer. The Micro Synthesizer’s operation and features look simple enough, with ten slider controls featuring four independent voices, one input and one output jack, effect on/off footswitch and power on/off switch. It’s no wonder that newer bands such as Smashing Pumkins, Beck, and Moby have incorporated the Micro Synthesizer into their own palette of creative sonic tools. For many of us that were too young to experience the analog synthesizer’s heyday (I was only a year old when "Dark Side of the Moon" was released back in 1973), what a trip the Micro Synthesizer offers with sounds that can be explored for a new generation of players. Listen to Pink Floyd from the "Dark Side of the Moon" era or recall the theme music from Doctor Who and you’ll get the idea of the analog synthesizer sound. An all-analog design, the Micro Synthesizer boasts the ability to provide the great older analog synthesizer sounds made famous by Moog, Avitar, Art and by using a guitar instead of a keyboard as the input device. Additionally, Electro-Harmonix (a division of New Sensor) now also produces a line of vacuum tubes, designed to sound like the classic tubes made from the best companies of the past, including Mullard and Telefunken.Ĭertainly one of the most unusual devices made for guitarists is the Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer. While the company eventually folded by the early ’80s, Electro-Harmonix is now back, offering reissues of their classic designs as well as new updated effects. Through the ’70s, Electro-Harmonix produced a number of top-sellers such as the Electric Mistress flanger, Small Stone phaseshifter, and Big Muff distortion. I know that's all good pedals, but right now I can't try them Audio Poly mode filter sound very nice also.Electro-Harmonix was founded in the late ’60s with the mission to produce unique and affordable effects for all musicians. and synth & video games & dirty/broken and so on JustNick also suggest me Bit Commander.Ībout sounds that I want from pedals.nothing specific I like everything,more possibilities = better Me:"I'm just stuck between : Bit Commander, OctaSynth,Organizer & Microsynth."ĭennis: "I would say you would get most out of the Bit Commander and POG2 those are the 2 synth/pitch pedals i see myself use most often cause the sound so evil." Not so long ago I was in touch with Dennis Kayzer (guy from demo videos) about some pedals> I heared just good stuff about Octasynth.thanks for remind me Good tracking and a filter that goes from mild to bat shit.

MeSoFuzzy I still have the Behringer only because nobody wants to buy it. Someday I'll have a third Bass Micro Synth I love how the EHX can have a broken sound to it when the input is under or overloaded. will trigger it), so I'd imagine its no issue with guitar. On its own, its a killer octave up, down, and sub fuzz! SYB's are cool, but the EHX synths give you more control The EHX Bass MIcro Synth sounds fabulous with drum machines(snares, hats, etc. Bit Commander needs to be paired with an envelope filter. I've checked out the SYB-5 and 3 in stores, I like them. I've had two Bass Micro Synths, the Bit Commander, and have the Behringer Synth pedal.
