Synth dirt question

[sprag]

boss OC2 is pretty synthy. though its the only octave I've used, but when it aint broke don't replace it

Yeah, I beat you to that one sorry! Hoping it'll arrive tomorrow.

No worries got a bass muff I'm closing the deal on. And I might try looking into the IE or the mastotron.

Let me know if the ripper does it for you in the synth dept

Are you on the west coast? You can have a go on my IE pedals if your are near Perth.

What other types of pedals are people using with the ripper to get a synthy sound? I'm new to using effects but have a few songs (Shake Your Body, Dance Like Jagger, etc) where I need a certain sound. Thinking of maybe picking up a octave pedal next?

I was writing about how I personally do synth, but then I listened to those 2 songs you listed and well.. yeah, the Ripper probably isn't the best option for that. I think something like a BSY600 or a EHX Micro Synth or markbass Supersynth or some other 'synth' pedal will get you closer. The Ripper is great at doing electronic "dub" bass (with a low pass filter), but those 2 songs are almost keyboard-like, so I can't really help you, but I'm sure lots of people here can.

EDIT: To the OP, there's more than 1 kind of "synth" sounds, so you really need to make sure that people understand what kind of sound you're after...

the pedals that work for me after lots of trades:
Zvex Wolly Mammoth clone
Robot Factory Pulse Synth - hard to find, but it's the best
Dwarfcraft Robot Devil - and you don't even need an octave pedal
Crowther Prunes&Custard
Iron Ether Oxide - still not sure if I'm gonna keep it, but it's definitely synthy
Copilot FX Orbit - unique mix of fuzz with ring mod

Cheers mate. Yeah I was thinking of grabbing a BSY600 or something as well to play around with. If it works for me maybe I"ll upgrade it down the road.

Nah Melbourne but thanks heaps for the offer. I'm going to take back some of the things I said about people from Perth
