Second, I'm stuck with finding (choosing) the right parts for this projects, so this is what I found out this far: Ok, that would demand commonly used round pots, which from what I hear aren't so precise I've read loads of informations about the design, problems with finding original parts, etc.Īnyway, I'm thinking about doing one myself but with some modifications, first to build it in a rack mounting box and trigger it by footswitch. While, usually trolling off a crapload of high-end (neck PU, low on the tone control) can help, fuzz sometimes helps as it gives a very even signal to work with (while you are adding harmonic content, the waveshape tends to have a strongly identifiable fundamental.This really shocked me, must say! Svaka ti čast. Sadly, it can hurt by magnifying incidental noises, which confuse the tracking
It can help by evening out the dynamics and by allowing the wave to still hit tracking thresholds as it decays.so it doesn't start "burbling" at the end The tracking difficulties are pretty similar to the things they are modelling!Ī lot of it is the nature of the beast for guitar Omar from The Mars Volta gets some downright amazing synth sounds out of his that are beyond me as to how he gets it to track that well. Like the analog units, this is also part of their charm, but sometimes its just downright ridiculous. Some will say a compressor fixes it, but I didnt find that the case (I used a BJF Pine Green). It has some pretty whacky sounds, but many are so glitchy I find them almost unusable.
Bass microsynth diy mod#
I have the Pro Mod, which if I remember correctly to the Mod 4, they are pretty identical. We'll see how it works.Īlso, theres the Line 6 Mod 4. I have a subdecay stupid box on the way and I anticipate it.
Maybe with a tubescreamer type pedal it might work out better. Ive also been interested in trying out the freqbox quite a bit, but feel it might be too soft sounding and broad eq wise to work that well with guitar. Its most obviously used for an arpeggiator type sound in the chorus of "These Adult Bones" on the band myspace. This also an amazing studio tool and we used it all over our album. Having this on a pedalboard/rack is kind of frustrating. Drawbacks: The controls are very sensitive and if they get changed at all your original sounds will be wrecked. The Moog Murf can make some incredible arppegiator-like sounds that are unlike anything Ive ever heard. Theres a track called interloper on one of my music pages that highlights this glitchiness at I might try the Foxrox octave (forget the name) but it sounds like it will be maybe too accurate for my liking. People complain about it not tracking well and being glitchy, but thats what I like about it it's analog imperfection. I also have the Octave Miltiplexor that I got in hopes of it being similar to the micro synths octave down. I got a couple of cool sounds out of the HOG (mainly freeze-gliss sounds), but could not justify it for the price and real estate. If youd like to hear how Ive used the micro synth, check out the song "requiem" on my bands myspace (you have to scroll down on the player, as its the last song): We used the micro synth all over that song and actually all over the album for atmospheric sounds and fillers.Īs far as other pedals by EH, there are the pogs and hogs, but in comparison to the m-synth, those are horribly digital sounding. The only thing I wish it had is the ability to complaetely isolate the square wave and octave down(s) because it has probably the most interestingly fat octave down sounds Ive heard out of a pedal. The micro synth is fantastic for what it is. Im constantly on the lookout for new synth/type pedals. Are there any pedals out there that do a similar thing to the filter sweep section of this pedal without the octave stuff? I wouldn't mind getting something like this instead so I can get a seperate octave pedal with poly mode.
