guitar synth pedals

[mikegee]

hi

i am interested in a really good guitar synth pedal. i hear the Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer Pedal totally rules. anybody out there ever use one? does it come close to moog tone? any other brands i should be looking at?

the micro synth is pretty sweet. my roommate gave me a digitech synth wah pedal for my birthday once which is pretty fun, but that microsynth is still better than that. Electro Harmonix has two new pedals called the Pog and the Hog which are CRAZY. You can get all kinds of weird tones out of those. There's always doing things like getting an Axon pickup and midi transmitter and using your favorite synths as well. I knew a guitar player that had a marshall halfstack on one side and a 16 space shockmount rack filled with synths on the other side. Both were feeding from his guitar.

That was a NIGHTMARE to setup show after show.

woah, nice... say, gear junkie, can you use that synth pedal with other pedals? or, can you not color that signal with other pedals, like distortions and delays and such? it seems like such a radically different kind of pedal, that maybe it wouldnt work with other pedals, not sure, just wanna know... what pedals go good with it, if you can use other pedals? thnx

you can use any pedal with any pedal. that's the beauty of pedals.

i'd recommend trying it after a wah pedal and before a distortion.
