Ibanez SB7 Synth Pedal - usable or cheesy?

[Oscar South]

I need something like this, few questions:

is all the tracking etc ok? is it well built? etc etc.

is the auto wah function on it convincing enough to use now and then (i can't really justify buying a dedicated envelope filter)

are the sounds usable or just gimmicky noises that are boring the second you get it out of the music shop?

thanks.

Welcome to the Effects Forum!

A quick, simple search revealed these good threads about it:

Ibanez SB7 Surprisingly Good....
DIGITECH BASS SYNTH WAH or IBANEZ SB7
Ibanez SB7
Boss SYB-3 vs. Ibanez SB7
Still luvin' the SB7!!!
Just got an Ibanez SB7
Bass synth

It's amazing what can turn up with a simple search. Some even have sound samples. Always remember that the search function is your friend around here, because we've pretty much covered any pedal you can think of that isn't fairly new.

It's the second most popular inexpensive synth pedal on TB - the first seems to be the Digitech Bass Synth Wah (but that's usually for the suboctave mode, not so much the other modes).

I think it's really nice as a cheap synth pedal I didn't like it really for a filter sound it's a nice starting point to get you into synthy keyboard sounds.
