Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer

The Bass Micro Synthesizer turns your bass into a fully analog synth, with no tracking glitches or digital artifacts in the path. Four voice sliders let you blend a sub octave, your own dry signal, an octave up and a gritty square wave, so you can build anything from a thick, rounded sub tone to a buzzy, fuzzed-out lead sound with a clear '70s flavour. The heart of the pedal is a resonant analog filter that sweeps between start and stop frequencies you set yourself, at whatever speed you like, for quick snappy chops or slow, blooming swells. A resonance control sharpens the peak of the sweep, while the trigger slider sets how hard you need to play to fire the filter. An attack delay control fades notes in for bowed or swelling effects. Built into a sturdy die-cast box with true bypass, it is a classic piece of bass synth gear that rewards experimentation.
