EHX SuperEgo Synth Engine

I would much rather have a pedal that shortened the decay of my signal rather than stretching it. Oh well. :(

And before anyone responds with suggestions of palm/foam muting, imagine the consequences downstream of doing that.
 
I think this would be an awesome pedal for soloing with a little practice. Or in a spot where you want to fill a sonic gap but don't necessarily want to have your attack shine through. I really dig it and the fact that its basically a Freeze and a little synth built into one box is appealing to people like me who don't like having a buttload of pedals to mess with but like weird sounds.
 
Okay, so the original video posted up above is a from a couple months ago, and was not the best demo. This new one, however, shows exactly how I'd want to use it for getting Shine On You Crazy Diamond and other soundscapes with as few instruments as possible:

Well, I bought one. It's pretty fun. I think it'll be REALLY fun after I get my next order in... The Source Audio Bass Envelope Filter Pro. I'm thinking this will be really fun: Bass --> EHX Bass MicroSynth --> B:assmaster --> SuperEgo ---> Bass Envelope Filter with Hot Hands --> Amp.

Should be KILLER.

So far the SuperEgo is fun for soloing over and I've found some good, usable tones. However, I'm really looking forward to messing with it after I get the Hot Hands in the effects chain. Can't wait....
