Searching for Synth's doesnt really yeild anything great, thread wise.
First off, I wanna bitch about how Harmony Central organizes thier effects reviews. There's simply no quick & easy way to scan thru a given type of effect.
So, does anyone have anything great to say about any particular synth stomp boxes? |

Digitech Bass Synth Wah
Akai Deep Inpact
Analog
Ibanez SB-7
Crowther Prunes & Custard
EHX Bass Microsynth
Those are probably the best units IMHO

We're adding a couple of songs to our setlist that the bass is heavily synth'd... So, I'd like to retain that quality for our version. Regarding qualities, I couldnt tell you what I want.... other than that. I know, I'm not much help. Sorry.
At least I now have a list of the the main ones... That'll get me to a point where I can scan some reviews.
Thx

It's not quite a versitile as some other ultra high-end synths, but it does it's job well, and is relatively cheap. It's also got a great octaver mode and some decent envelope filter/wah modes as a bonus. I'd say check it out.

| | | | I was looking at that Line 6 FM4 as well, i was more interested in whether it cut all your Bass out of the equation?
