1976fenderhead Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Endless possibilities, for what I could tell so far :-D Edited August 22, 2008 by 1976fenderhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassMunkee Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Oh that is sweet. :wub: Where did you get it and can you post up some soundclips...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Phwoar, would really like one of those! Did you get it from Hotrox? I would also really like to hear soundclips if you get the chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 cool as far as soundclips go, its just gunna sound the same as the full size one, im sure theres some around somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Got it at Music Ground (Denmark St, London). They only had 2 units. They also had the Bass Big Muff which I didn't like at all, sounded similar to the Little Big Muff, worse than the Russian and the Dry and Bass Boost modes seemed pretty useless to me... Certainly wouldn't replace my Zoom Ultra Fuzz!!!! They didn't have any other of the new models... Will definitely post some sound samples.... ermmm... how do I do it after I have the mp3, do I upload them to some host site or something? Any suggestions? It does apparently sound the same as the larger version, but it's true bypass. And it feels a lot sturdier. It also runs on 9v, although you can't put it in a daisy chain and it hums if I use a Godlyke Powerall instead of the power adapter that comes with it... Go figure... How hard is it for EHX to make pedals that work in a daisy chain??? I haven't combined it with other pedals yet so haven't decided on a place in the signal chain, but what would you say would be the conventional position in a chain like this: comp > wah > fuzz > chorus > flanger My bet is first in chain so I can keep the dynamic to trigger only the notes I hit harder (before comp), and so I have a clean signal running into it (before fuzz) but let me know your opinions... Curious as to how it will sound before and after the wah :-) although guessing it will get a bit confused tracking notes after the wah...

Kev Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 however you like really, but do not have a compressor before a wah, completly limits the wah effect badly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I had it like that for some time, after lots of testing. However after another period of extensive testing I decided I prefer the compressor first... which doesn't mean I won't change my mind later... again! *just an edit to add that the wah effect sounds duller to me if I put the compressor after it...

1976fenderhead Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Here are some soundclips! Fender Jazz Deluxe MIA with slight emphasis on neck pick-up, everything else flat + amp&cab simulation and compressor from Line 6 Gearbox (my standard clean sound).

Some compressors compensate for it, others don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compressor after it kind of ruins that. I've just done a lot more testing following this discussion and stuck to it. Compressor before wah still works best for me!

How clean is the tracking? Will it cope with chords or is it strictly monophonic? Cheers Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duarte Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Microsynth is an absolute classic! I'm just bummed I bought mine the DAY before the new one was brought out! Still makes those crazy funky sounds though. What are the sliders like? Mine feel like they will break anytime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Tracking is nearly perfect. Some parts of the effect track with chords and some don't, can't remember which but it's detailed in the manual... I just notice if I start playing a lot of chords or crazy dissonant sounds it tends to cut the notes sharply to silence... I think it doesn't know exactly what to do when weirder sounds start decaying and just cuts them... Only noticeable with loooong notes. The sliders feel very balanced and sturdy.

Duarte Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I noticed that with my fretless - if I slide down then it just completely cuts the sound. Kinda cool i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
