Uses under 50mA so it will run on a normal low current output like a normal pedalpower2. And now have TRUE BYPASS!!!! Uses normal Boss style 9V power supply (USA 9V included) but cannot be daisy chained with other pedals (won't work with other pedals on a skinny cell phone charger type digital switching power supply). Don't know how it sounds, but I can always dream.Micro and Bass Micro Synth Micro Synthesizers are here!!!!! In 2008 they now come in a smaller cast metal case instead of the old vintage style bent sheetmetal case. I might even run through an iPad with guitar rig installed.
#Eh bass microsynth full
I haven't played live in awhile but next time I get involved in something I'm probably going to go full digital for the convenience.
But the atmospheres and the thumps you can produce with it on its own are amazing.Īnd as much as I love the sound, I'm kind of over analog in general based purely on the fact that I started using Reaper and VSTs to record one day and have gotten spoiled by the clarity and the control. It's the strangest functional distortion I've ever heard. I really love throwing a Boss ODB-3 on top of it with the gain all the way up and the dry signal at about 60%. I've known plenty of people that used the EHMS (guitar and bass) for years without knowing about the set screw. It has a set screw on the bottom you have to adjust to achieve a clear sound with all of the filters off and the clean channel on 50%. The people on here saying it sounded rough likely never took the time to calibrate it properly. I wish there was a reliable way to emulate the sound digitally so you could save presets etc but so far I haven't heard it. I use it with a passive 4, if I switch to my active 5 it grinds my sound all up in a bad way. When your band is charging ~$1k for a kids show, you can't have those sorts of issues.īut it takes a lot of calibration up front and you can't really switch rigs without re calibrating it. Needless to say, I switched to the Markbass Super Synth after that. 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.
