All user reviews of 5/5 for the Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer (Original)

It's an analog filter with an input and an output line is the audio, no midi.
TRIG paramettre the first is the sensitivity of the effect

Then the following four parameters are the part VOICE MIX, four tracks stop adjustable by individual volume.
The first "sub octave" is an octave, one octave below the source, the second is called "guitar", that his presence be the original source, but slightly less qq sets, I think- it, then the parameter "octave" is a sound that is supposed to be a octave above the source, which is not necessarily clear with a low, but more with a keyboard, for example, pui "square wave "is the filter of the most interresting boiboite is a kind of distortion that produces the filtered synthetic sound.

The following parameters ATTACK DELAY, defines the sound attack, its direct or delayed.

Then the four remaining parameters are the part FILTER SWEEP, a dynamic filter (see Q tron) fully paramétrable.D First we have the "resonance" or, shall I say, aggression frequencies of sound, then two parameter "start FEQ" and "stop freq", which respectively define the frequency of the beginning and the end of the frequency of sound, pui "rate" means the speed of action of the filter.

Basically, it makes you do "bioubiou," "greasy spoon" biiiiiiou "or" bouuuuuuui "selon.Et more! It's a miracle, this machine.

We regret still scrubbing the home ELECTROHARMONIX, after a while
the on / off button that has loose connections, and gives a dream machine that will turn off anytime ... just RHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!![ b]

UTILIZATION

This is the only downside to this wonder, this box is a true picture settings you have under the pied.Il takes a little time to use to understand how to use all these parameters, but that is not the problem. The catch is that you need to do all the settings by hand, know them all by heart (some sounds varrient a lot to near millimeter depending on the position of the button, for example, "rate" of FILTER SWEEP). Imagine you have to change between two pieces of her on stage, fell on to reach the cross-over at full speed, trying to get it right ... In my case, I never managed to find a desired sound live, prey stage in haste because of its nuances really are large and take a millimeter.
In addition, there is no way to save the settings .. HA, the charm of analog! We will therefore use the good old chips that will make marks on the box.
We also regret, or rather, it would be a machine you really titan if there avai access to an expression pedal, which is not the cas.Personnellement I ask up to hand to touch up her live as best they can ... but ... What sounds!!

SOUND QUALITY

Well done for her, really, because it is a synth sound that comes out of your bass, certainly, but not only, it is really sensitive, it is not froid.C is more an effect this machine is an extension of the instrument, and there's this incredible grain ... sounds at once derived from Star Trek, the vintage plastic, while having a real expression.PHOUUUUUUU

I still said that while quality sound suitable for a low, with separate notes, and its instrumental function of low boil down to two or three categories of sounds, which are assimilated many nuances.

You can also go through a keyboard, although concéquences long term are unknown, and rendering is also very good.

One more thing, for already in ELECTROHARMONIX, the slight overall loss of scale sonore.On then push the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a gem.

Madmen of "electro vintage" jubileront.Les Kraftwerk fans fall by followers of Father terre.Les Funkseront transportés.Les blocked from Star Wars, Forbidden Planet, 2OO1 the Space Odyssey will not believe see when their ears !!!!! Even the slight ergonomic and strength of solder rather regrettable (a look "clumsy" which is a look). A fine imitation of vintage, one would really believes, and it is expressive.
Do not eat.

I do this more: ZE PEDAL for me it to turn your bass synthesizer.
It is purely analogue so we have a real warm, but not the memory capacity to store digital sets: short is all set to live.
Connections jack in / out jack and power supply
non-rack (type foot pedal)
I put an 8 because it does not connect anything more (Genus expression pedal to vary the frequency filter cutoff was ca vrément cool sof if you are ok for a circuit bent, me personally I prefer not to touch!)
Problem and the "analog" of having to set the knobs at each for the sound, without pre-sets.

UTILIZATION

This is not a fact like any other, must adapt, but once you know the role of each slider (on average 2 weeks if you triturated well) you know how to get sound.
I had no manual with the box except a small paper that explains some settings: it was enough to understand.

SOUND QUALITY

Then this is the best synthesizer I think (unless I am mistaken) that can be obtained from the three different types:
The synth-typed "laser" that does "" Piouuu ""
It's a bold muse (close to a synthetic or fuzz that would make me think of a Deeper underground Jamiroquai)
The sound-with Latakia "bbbooooooooOOOOOOOAAWWWW"
In short it is very poorly explained, so I know I suggest you look at this little video was made ​​with the hard webcam I certainly did anything but it gives an overview of sonoritées: http://youtube.com/ watch? v = CqeKIwPVOIQ ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=CqeKIwPVOIQ )
I think this pedal is the best question synth, although better now than Ibanez or Boss Syb 5.
I like overdrive added a post to death ca spit!

OVERALL OPINION

It'll soon be one month that I have this wonderful machine
as already said, the advantages and disadvantages of analogue. See for yourself
I tested several compact pedals like the synth but this is the best (or so through a microphone as MIDI Roland manufactures and connect the expander has an analog or modular, but I never tested it appears that not bad too)
It's expensive yes, but it's Electro-Harmonix!
With the experience I would not break the head buy a multi-effects, this pedal + saturation ca me all the sounds you want (to play the post rock and electro)

The Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer is the popular guitar synthesizer effect tailored specifically for bass guitar and bass frequencies. It's pretty much the same pedal except this one is designed for bass frequencies. It's an analog pedal that consists of a 1/4" input and a 1/4" output. It requires power from an Electro-Harmonix power supply and isn't rack mountable since it's a stomp box.

UTILIZATION

While it does take a bit of fiddling with to get completely comfortable, the Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer isn't too hard to use overall. It was really just a matter of trial and error for me, as I'd been used to the guitar Micro Synth and this was an easy enough crossover since the make up is quite similar if not the same. The sliders that the pedal has include voices for sub octave, guitar, octave, and square wave, as well as filter sweep parameters for resonance, rate, and both start and stop frequencies. It also has sliders for trig and for attack delay. The manual might be helpful but I haven't seen it so I can't say anything about it.

SOUND QUALITY

While I don't think that the Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer is the most practical effect in the world, it definitely does as advertised as then some. I guess I just don't think that many bass players would need these sorts of effects out there on the front lines, but even if you just use them in the studio or at home, they're a lot of fun to mess around with. You can get some pretty funky sounds with the Bass Micro Synth, and the palette of sounds is pretty versatile as well. While I don't think that too many people are going to be mistaking your bass for a synthesizer even with this box, it still gives you a variety of really cool, synth-like effects.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're primarily a bass player and are looking to expand your possible sounds, a quick way to really expand them is with the Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer. The tracking is surprisingly good with this pedal, and while I think that some of the effects are more practical than others, it's an awesome overall pedal for bass players who want to experiment a little bit. I don't know of any pedals out there for bass that can match the flexibility and unique sound of the Bass Micro Synth.
