Ibanez Sb7 synth pedal

A search will give you plenty of results. I like mine, but rarely use it because (this is embarassing) I don't have an extra patch cable to fit it into my chain.

 

I just picked one of these up, is a very cool pedal.

Definitely worth the money, but even better if you can pick up one for $50 on ebay as I did, and I'm likin' it!

 

I like it. It's obnoxious, but VERY responsive to dynamics, which is cool.

 

any sound samples?

 

I love mine... But as Bliss stated is quite obnoxious, I put a boss bass chorus after it - and that seems to tame its uper harmonics quite well...

I've had one for nearly two years. I use it ocassionally for funky solos or song intros. I find that using it with a octave pedal gets you close to a fat synth bass tone. You'll be able to find some usable settings after spending some time with a little tweaking.

I've since bought an Akai Deep Impact which gets you closer to the old keyboard synth bass tone. I won't sell the SB7 though, I like the envelope / autowah effect that you can get with it.

I've also tried the Digitech pedal which is similar to the SB7; it's decent for the price. I can't tell you much more cause I didn't spend a lot of time with it. The Boss pedal is another option, but I've never tried one. If you do a search of this forum you'll fund many comments on the Boss.

Nice pedal, i think it's better then Boss SYB-3 bass shyntesizer..
I'm glad, that i bought this pedel, good bargain.. ..
See ya!

 

I had one (Ibanez SB7)
Compared to my Akai Deep Impact, the tones were weak.
However, I thought I'd use it for the Autowah.
Since then I've traded it for a EH Mini Q-Tron.

 

Check out the Digitech - I LOVE mine!

I just started jamming in a band that plays a lot of spacey, electronica-type jams and Radiohead-influenced stuff and it really does the job for me.

 

Will the SB7 track when slapping? I can't use my Boss Synth as it doesn't like to track very well....

I did like the Sounds posted for the SB7, but tracking is CRUCIAL for me.

Also GFAB333 can you post your settings? Sounded very cool!

 

Biergot,

I don't have the pedal in front of me, but if you approach the nobs from left to right the settings are (using clock settings) 9:30, 10:00, 12:00, 1:00.

The switches are set to "auto wah" and "slow".

With these settings and my basses, I can slap and obtain good tracking. Keep in mind, your settings may be different (in order to achieve the same sound) depending on your bass and your rig.

It's a good pedal for the price.

 

Hey guys...

The SB7 does not track well at all, because IT DOSN'T track.

It is 2 envilope filters with a resonant filter in between... Unlike the boss syb-3 and the deep impact (which track your note and produce a synthasized note of the same value), the sb7 mearly modulates your tone with a set of 3 filter mentioned above... So yes it tracks very well, while not tracking at all...

To ansure your question, you can do antything with it and it will work...

Cheers

Alex

 

Thanks for the tracking info and settings guys!!!

Off to the store to go pick one up!

 

I like mine pretty well, but I'm selling it because my bass V-amp gets me all the sounds I need. If you're interested in buying it, send m a PM. I've got an adaptor, too.

 

Hello
Can anyone compare EBS IQ and IBANEZ SB7 ?
I really liked the price of the IBANEZ.
Plus they dont sell EBS in where i live...
and it is much more expensive.
IS IBANEZ ANALOG ????
I want ENVELOPE FILTER & AUTO WAH.
IBANEZ sounds like one. RÝGHT ?
I HATED the BOSS bass SYNTH.

 

That is EXACTELY what I do

 

I have said it before, and I am saying it again... Us canucks think alike eh!..

I love how phat the chorus makes the sb7, sounds like heavin...

Alex

 

But i realised that ( tell me if i am wrong ) with the IBANEZ SYNTH you can also get the same filter-wah sounds as EBS IQ.
So with IBANEZ you get filter wah + synthesiser . Am i right ?

 

completly so... Everything and a bag of potato chips...
