So of course – EHX could do a digital version with presets, BUT – to be honest, it would definitely not be the same. Start, stop filter frequency sliders with adjustable rate for full control over the filter’s sweep direction and speedĪdjustable attack time control for fading-in notes Square wave voice can be used as a distortion tone Here is what you can read on the MicroSynth-Site here at EHX.com:Ĥ voice mixer section mixes: sub octave, original, octave up and square wave So, jugging that what you guys said is right (I’ll only believe it, if someone from the staff or who do messes with pedals and opened a MicroSynth tell us), what I’m asking for here is: a digital (close sounding) version of the Micro Synthesizer (be it bass or guitar – I prefer the Bass Micro Synthesizer for any instrument) that have a PRESET feature in it. All of which wouldn’t sound bad and could be achieved in an digital EHX box (c’mon, HOG, POG and even Voice Box have good warm tones/sounds). If you look at it, the difference between those pedals and the Micro Synth- in terms of controls not sound or timbre itself – are: the trigger the possibility to set a starting and ending frequency mixing of a square wave signal. Anyway, I’m still interested in an analog-sound synth simulator, with the preset feature, from electro-harmonix. That’s why I’ll take your word for granted. I never opened these box (I don’t own one, just used in some recording sessions). Oh! And thank you, diego, for posting here, i thought no one was interested as I didn’t find any posts about those 2 boxes. Maybe it reproduces the analog aspects, maybe half of it. I don’t even know how much of an analog circuit the MicroSynth really is. Like: creating a hybrid/digital version of the micro synthesizer (considering the octave session and filter from POG2/HOG would greatly work) featuring the same controls and specially a PRESET saver/knob. And maybe then, re-suggest it differently. I don’t have the technical knowledge about it, and want to hear a word from the staff members about it. I mean, that’s exactly why I posted it here. The same goes to the HOG, if you consider the footcontroller. I thought about it before posting, BUT THEN I looked at my POG2, and even tough I don’t know If its an analog or digital based effect (I was once told it was, but I couldn’t find this info anywhere) I can tell there are some octave manipulation and even a Q and filter. (btw, love EHX long time & proud owner of POG2/SMMH/VoiceBox/LittleBigMuff/drQ/MPOG) AND the preset lights to be placed horizontally, instead of vertically (as all EHX currently boxes) – if this is even possible Hell, I think you can even do it well with a mere tap/stomp knob (‘hold to’ save/store) instead of the ’round-press-turn’ white one.Īlso sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes, I’m not a English native speaker Last but not least, if you ask me about space considering all the faders, I would suggest the knob to be placed between the bypass and the faders. I think this would be not only stage friendly, but even studio friendly (I would stick to some presets for future songs and different artists after saving them). I Really love the tones you can get from it, but it’s a real pain to note or take photos of all the different configurations. One really “simple” and very useful Improvement for both the Micro Synthesizer and the Bass Micro Synthesizer would be adding the now-almost-standard PRESET FUNCTION and KNOB.
