EHX Bass Mono Synth

[paultma]

Volume issues were why I got rid of it. I would set a preset to a decent level, or what I thought it was, and at both gigs I used it on, the sound dropped a ton, and I raised it manually, but still wasn't ever enough. I don't think the compressor had anything to do with it, just the Mono Synth. Get a C4, much more sonic options for not much more money.

Have you played the C4 with guitar at all? Saw a review saying it's not brilliant when played polyphonically. Ideally if I go for a more premium synth pedal I'd like it to be as versatile as possible.

Theres a future impact in the classifieds at the moment for a killer price

Not too much, mainly because I'm a terrible guitarist. My guitarist did get one, he's been pleased with it, though I haven't asked him about chords. It isn't designed for polyphony for sure.

I took the plunge, bought the C4 without even being able to try it out. It's completely amazing, can't say thanks enough for the recommendation. (Anyone want to buy a barely used Mono Synth, boxed and everything? ) It's so much more than a mere synth pedal - spend the entire day going through and saving user presets. My thumb is aching. Who would have thought this would be so exhausting...

Only trouble now is that I need to invest in some kind of pedal to control all these presets, I see everyone recommends Disaster Area - is the DMC-8D still compatible with the C4?

What do you want to accomplish? If all you want to do is scroll through the presets, the DMC Micro is what I use for my Spectrum.

Likely to be just that, really.

Micro then. Cheap and easy to use.

Wow, this topic just died 2.5 years ago... Is anyone here using the EHX Bass Mono Synth? Even gigging? Is it still relevant? It definitely is availble from many vendors.

Thanks for reviving the thread, Alexander. I still have my BMS and pull it out from time to time, but have yet to gig with it. I got it early 2020. It's a quirky pedal but there are a lot of interesting synth things built into it - it's a keeper!

Just bought one and i found it awful. Tracking is really glitchy and sounds are very amateur. My technique is good and quite clean and still everything sounded very bad. After seeing the reviews I tought I found the perfect match for my basstation2... Tomorrow is going back to amazon.

Will the mini expression pedals from other companies work with the mono synth? I need a small pedal for space issues.
