Sign in to disble this ad
Hello all,
I've got my synthy bass sound pretty much covered, but I want control over the attack so I can swell in notes.
I know the Micro-synth does it, but that would be redundant. Not only do I have fuzz and octave covered, but I have a square wave generator as well.
Can anyone suggest some pedals to look at? I'd prefer to spend around $100 or less if possible.
Thanks.

or you can do it manually with a volume pedal

It may be an active vs passive thing or higher vs lower output. They also work worse on lower frequencies. A regular volume pedal or knob is much more expressive though not as fast. |
