#Electroharmonix microsynth full#
I didn't notice until I kicked it on and blew the roof off of a room full of 2-4 year olds. Between sets, one of the rug rats adjusted my sliders for me. I was using it for some dance pop songs in a kids music band. I recently sold mine because I determined I couldn't use it anymore.
If you didn't, it can be tough to figure out. IF you grew up playing with 80s analog synths with sliders like I did, that's no big deal. While that's the reason the tone is so great, it means you have to dial in your tone every time. The huge drawback is that it's all analog. If you pair it with a hot hand filter, you'll have the ability to make EDM producer's druel. It's perfect for playing EDM and dance pop style sounds. If you want to play your bass as a synthesizer, then you'll have a hard time finding a pedal that tracks as well and sounds as nice. TL DR - It sounds great, but may not work well with your gear. And the synth section is remarkably flexible considering the lack of parameters (which makes it very easy to use) and you can get Moog-ish bass synth sounds and funky Bootsy and Herbie Hancock style auto-wah/envelope filter sounds. You may find that it works perfectly for you and, if so, it's a great sounding device - I love the squarewave sound, coupled with a little sub octave.
I bought an attenuator pedal and tried that: No dice.īut this is just my tale of woe. So it's my bass, right? Well I have a Lakland 4401 (active) which it just wouldn't get any sort of consistent result from, but I also have an Ibanez AEB10E acoustic which would yield only marginally more consistent results. So I sold it and the guy who bought it seems to have none of my problems. I carefully hunted down all the advice and instruction I could online, adjusted and tested the internal trim pot through every possible setting, and contacted EHX for advice (they weren't that helpful). I found that signal gating would occur unexpectedly, that pitch tracking on the sub octave was somewhat random when playing on the lower frets on the lower strings, and the amp would fluctuate, seemingly on it's own accord, dropping my level drastically half way through a riff. But the BMS, while sounding great, was a total nightmare to get it to track consistently, not even reliably, just a consistent result. I loved the sound of it, so much so that when I sold it I bought 3 other pedals to recreate some of what I loved, and they don't quite hit it. I had one of the current models but sold it after a couple of weeks.
