Alternatives to the EHM Bass Microsynth

[Paul Baker]

Hi all

My Electro Harmonix Bass Micro Synth recently died, terminally, after years of faithful service. I could simply buy another one but first I'd like to pick this community's brains about any alternative pedals that would do as good, or better, a job. I want to be able to blend the various voicings same as on the EBM and I want some of those voicings to be octave and fuzz. Beyond that I'm open minded. I'm not biased against digital over analog as long as it sounds great.

Any thoughts and advice most welcome.

You should post this in the Effects forum.

but since you ask, source audio C4 is fabulous

Yup. Adding the C4 to my board kicked off the EHX Micro Synth, EBS Octave, and MXR P 90.

Thanks for your replies Turcmic and Goatrope. I will take your advice and post this in the effects forum.

And yes I am very interested in the C4! As people who have used it may I ask a question. While I'm sure I'd have fun playing around with it there is one effect I'd need to reproduce, as it's key to a particular song in one of my bands. The effect is equal parts sub-octave, clean guitar signal, upper-octave and square wave. Can the C4 easily do this?

Maybe separate pedals? Expensive but check out three leaf audio's stuff.

yes. piece of cake. you should watch the C4 editor video up on youtube. it is a good example of the possibilities and how to achieve them.
