ELECTRO HARMONIX MICROSYNTH MANUAL
Quoted text is from the EHX MicroSynth Manual
Or if you really don’t feel like reading even more information, just watch the video by Prymaxe Vintage. It doesn’t hurt if you are somewhat familiar with the basic controls of a synth either. I’ve said it before – read your manuals! You can save yourself from getting rid of a perfectly good pedal (*GASP* THE HORROR) and also lots of frustration when a pedal doesn’t do what you think it should. Enough sillyness, let’s move on to the tweakage, shall we?Įlectro-Harmonix lays out the controls pretty logically, but at first glance they can be rather intimidating. With these erect little mechanisms between your fingers you get to be the captain of a funky space ship time machine blasting off and into wormholes into alternate realities where you meet the Bizarro you and have to fight to the death because the Bizarro you wants to kill you and take your place back here in this reality! …Ok, maybe that description is slightly hyperbolic, but seriously you can emulate a smorgasbord of sexy synth tones that will increase your rank amongst all your cool hipster friends. The aforementioned sliders could break off easily as opposed to knobs (just be gentle with it – good touch only), but they save space and in my opinion make the visual aspect of tweaking this pedal a bit easier. It combines fuzz, distortion, octave, envelope filter, and swell effects that are controlled with a row of highly sensitive and tweakable sliders. The 4-voice mixer selection, adjustable filter resonance, and time attack controls of this Electro-Harmonix guitar effect pedal make a multitude of synth sounds possible - from percussive stabs to backward. The MicroSynth is a gust of fresh air in this respect as it allows me (and you too) to push the boundaries of guitar tone the way I want to. The Electro-Harmonix MicroSynth comes with a true bypass circuitry that ensures retention of tonal integrity when the pedal is not in use. Maybe it’s because ‘normal’ guitar tones bore me as they can be heard everywhere at all times on everything. I don’t know why I get happy to make a guitar sound like it isn’t. A testament to EHX’s more unique offerings (I’m thinking of the HOG2, POG2, Flanger Hoax, etc.), the MicroSynth was also one of the first guitar synth pedals and remains to be one of the best as most companies even today dare not tread into such experimental territory. They were one of the first companies to sell and mass market affordable effects for guitar/bass and have always been downright creative and original with their designs. If you don’t know Electro-Harmonix then you should go back to pedal school and learn about Muffs and the six-hundred-thousand other pedals they have made sometime since the late 60′s. The pedal I want to talk about has confusing features that have led many a guitar player to sell or throw aside the glorious contraption that is the Electro Harmonix MicroSynth. This one is long (winded) and detailed (much like my other reviews) so I will try to keep side-tracking to a minimum. Hey all you knob lickers!
