I've not got my head around paying for patches yet... I’ve used his as well. But... a lot are geared for the stomp or the full helix as they have amps/cab sims. The one I found really nice was the sadowsky pre amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighttrain1127 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I would suggest the C4 also There are hundreds of user made Patched you can listen to and load with the click of the mouse . It tracks great and sounds great as well. You can set 6 presets with no external control needed just push a button to get to the second 3 . And there are good Moog patches already on the Site . I had an SY-1 for a cup of coffee then moved it on because there were very few useable or repeatable sounds in there. Another good one is the EHX Bass Mono Synth. You can set 9 patches and it is easy to set up. Programming is just twisting knobs and pressing save. Much better than the Synth 9 or the SY-1. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) I have a Synth 9 and a B9. The Synth 9 has a great Oberheim setting which can hold a note in the background whilst you chug a riff, like rock bands use synth players to fill out the sound. I bought the B9 on impulse; when I plugged it in and started twiddling the knobs I found a Hammond setting and just started playing "Lazy". These "9" synth pedals contained canned sounds for you to use; more like sampled sounds than a programmable synth. Programmable synths are something else; I've just sold a MarkBass Super Synth (SS) and it was pretty good. I've also got a Future Impact, which is much more comprehensive (but is large and also needs a separate MIDI switch pedal to control it). Both are programmable via a PC app. So, the choice is canned sounds or roll your own. Edited April 11, 2021 by prowla 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
