    Simple and effective

    Markbass Super SynthPublished on 09/28/11 at 02:26
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    This is an effects pedal that offers a synth bass and an octave.
    Everything is editable, however, fine adjustments can only be accessed via the soft Markbass PC / Mac.
    On the pedal, you can directly set the input gain (with clip LED to avoid saturating the input), how often trigger effect / level of the lower octave, the overall tone / level the octave and the mix of wet / dry signal.
    The picture is not the AF: Markbass changed its foot and the only commercial version is the version with 4 buttons.
    It's a digital pedal but it is true bypass.
    Last detail, the 12V is specific, it consumes a lot of mA so you can not a priori power supply with a standard market.

    UTILIZATION

    The general configuration is simple to use. To create / edit sounds, you should use Markbass software (downloadable from their site). In the software, you will have access to the parameters of the synth and the octave, these are standard settings for this type of device, but there are many. If he had been put directly on the pedal, there were about thirty knobs! Check out the manual to know all the details.
    Precisely this manual is clear but relatively brief, a few adjustments would have been welcome to have an overview of the possibility of the machine.
    Editing sounds is easy, you can change the software, loaded into the memory of the pedal, then test immediately after hot (no need to disconnect the cables).

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects of plant used to know what can pedal.
    Modify these effects is very easy through the soft, if you need to adjust some basic parameters such as levels quickly, you can operate the knobs on the pedal.
    Limitation for small synthesizer: a single type of waveform is possible (sawtooth, while the Deep Impact allows 4 waveforms). He does that but he does well: the sounds are great! The sound is rich, organic ... it reminds me of the Korg synth sounds G5.
    The octave sounds fat but clean and synthetic.
    The tracking is impeccable. Portamento is musical. You have to play clean anyway. No breath.
    It's a synth bass, I use it with my bass.
    Since it is an effect somewhat apart, we must have the use. Since I use it in a project that requires this kind of sounds like all the sounds available.
    Feel free to return the software settings, there are examples of settings on the net, there are a lot of possibilities.
    Overall, the sounds are very good.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since its purchase.
    I tried the Deep Impact, the Korg G5, the Octavius ​​Squeezer ... I have kept the OS ... and Super Synth!
    The strengths of the pedal are the sounds of the synth, the software that allows fine adjustments that would be impossible without it (or while doing a lot of compromises to keep an ergonomic controls on the pedal), the true bypass.
    Weaknesses: the octave a bit too synthetic, only one type of waveform synthesizer and a specific power. But there are already what to do and unlike some pedals, a wide range of sounds are exploitable and usable as a group.
    On occasion, the price / quality ratio is excellent, I will have thought about nine times 2.
    I do it again this election, I find this pedal performs its function perfectly for a reasonable price (compared with other similar effects on the market in pedal format)
