The synth would be a lot more interesting if almost every mode didn't have that big sweeping oscillating phase effect. Didn't seem like there was a way to disable that? If not, unfortunate, really limiting the use of the pedal for fun synthy lines. The arpeggiator also doesn't seem particularly good to me but that's probably a matter of taste. As it is only the last 2 settings seem like they'd be usable. I'm with you though, the tracking is pretty decent. But for $100 I'd really rather have more control over it.
Too bad about the spring. The huge decay on some of the other modes paired with a good spring would make this a great all in one mini verb. I think the A7 is a real winner for crazy sounds though.
Synth pedals can be lots of fun, but that one is really hamstrung by the fact that they force that sweeping wah thing on every sound... I'd love you to check out the BOSS SY-1 synth pedal! I got one last year and it's tons of fun to play around with. It has way more sounds than this E7, and way more of them are usable because they don't have that weird effect over them. You won't regret it if you want to have some fun playing with synth sounds! I love using it to play over like 80's synth backing tracks or electronic tracks. That with some delay and reverb is hours and hours of fun. :D Also, a compressor before the synth can help a lot with sustain and notes getting a little choked and such, since it's using your completely dry clean signal.
Can you look at the ammoon line of pedals? I just got their delay/reverb and it's a really cool pedal. Also can you cover some looper pedals at different price points? There are some cheap ones on amazon that are really good (ammoon, donner) but I also want to know your opinion on some more expensive ones, like the boss rc1 or the brand new TC electronic ditto plus (which I don't think is even out yet, it's that new! Love your vids, keep em up!
I was very dissapointed with this pedal. I had high hopes for it and it does give out a few nice tones but nothing like I'd hoped for. I should have returned it but life got in the way. Maybe I can find a use for it but what I had hoped for was a guitar I could use as a synth controller. Instead I get disconnected synth sounds than have little to do with what I'm doing on the guitar. The mix selection helps a lot, but it still doesn't sound like what I'd hoped for.
the synth pedal isnt bad, but honestly, i’d rather save up for a synth9 (already did that one!) or get an ehx bass synth (i play bass more than guitar) or the matryoshka one from banananana (thinking about one of those two to go with the synth9, which is fun, but why have one fun synth pedal when you could have........ two.........) also, nice rendition of cars!
So they make a series of pedals. All with 7's on them/ But, don't want you to refer them as 7 series pedals. Maybe they do not understand how that works? You put 7's on them, they are 7 series pedals.
Love the face, I felt the same way when I started jamming with this thing... Now you gotta make a video with the E7 plug to an old Yamaha porta-tone keyboard...
Default settings or patches tend to really bad on many pedals as they aim to just showcase the possibilities rather than being useful. I've got the E7 and if you turn the attack and mix all the way down - say, to 8 or 9 o'clock - and turn of the appregiator effect (do this for every 'mode' and save) you get much more playable sounds and a much more useable pedal full stop. This way it actually operates much more like an octave pedal but with a range of organ-y higher pitch sounds.
Certainly the E7 on it's own with the mix turned all the way up sounds rather bad, so needs more effects & the mix turned back so you have more of the dry guitar & it would be far more useful
I need me some of that 8-bit synth sound (second to last) with a generous helping of that church verb with long trails...thats the sexiness my tracks need
HA!! love the Numan riffs ..cuz it's a synth pedal . I know this completely defeats the purpose of it , but I wanna see what it does to a synth . Free arpeggiator for those of us that can only afford cheap synths . The only thing I think it would benefit from is a resonance control , but where the heck would you fit another knob on that thing . That Ambiance reverb sounds like it wants on the shoegaze board , but I think it's not really afford-y enough .
this video had a LOT of ads... to the point that it was distracting, and almost made me click away...but i had to stay because of that beautiful supersonic, and to see what is up with this reverb pedal...
I had the boss sy300 and MIDI. That mooer arpeggiator is garbage. I bought a used casio keyboard into Alesis nanopiano. Just need to learn to play keys better.
Ryan: *gets synth pedal and starts playing "Cars."*
Me: INSTANT SUBSCRIPTION
Kinda mandatory, same with owning a Phase 100
@@davidjameschamberlain fair enough. I'm just very easily entertained.
@@edrozenrozen9600 it's a great song, innit?
@@edrozenrozen9600I love gary numen cars is a great song
Every once in a while I think that I’d really like to have a synth pedal until I hear one again.
If I was going to get a synth pedal I intended to use I’d probably go for the boss. It’s costs more, but it’s actually usable.
60 Cycle Hum the electroharmonix synth 9 works pretty well too

This gadget is cool kinda- my Digitech Dirty Robot sounds better by far. EHX Superego opens the door to whatever you want.
Totally agree! Check out the Boss SY-1. It has a lot more usable sounds, and it's tuns of fun to play over synth/elecctronic backing tracks.
Needs an LFO Control
That sums up exactly why I sold it, despite actually wanting to keep it just for the arpeggiator sounds.
@@niclastname i came here for a cheaper sy-1, but everything i hear sounds like an organ
Yayyyy finally someone reviewed these! The E7 seems sooo cool.
Dude the E7 is awesome. Mode 1 with the arpegiator sounds like it’s out of a video game
Wow! Gary Neumann Cars. I’m very impressed.
i want that A7 so badly
Too bad about the spring. The huge decay on some of the other modes paired with a good spring would make this a great all in one mini verb. I think the A7 is a real winner for crazy sounds though.
still in love with that super sonic
My grandmother would have said: "from this you make a living?".
Gotta love those bubbis from the old country

WOOOOOOOO!!!! Lets track some low budget late 70s early 80s low-budget sci-fi-horror movies!!!
synth/new wave affordaboard please
Somewhere, I'm certain, there's a single madman grasping his screen with both hands and crying out, "This is the tone! I NEED AN E7!!"
I would take it as a fun tone to play around.
That’s how I felt about the jptr super weirdo and I actually bought one haha.
Not gonna lie to you here, that’s exactly how I’m feeling about the first setting he tried (arpeggiator off)
It’s me. I’m that madman.
You rang?

Never tried the Synth9, but the BOSS SY-1 is a great synth pedal as well!
The synth takes some tweaking to find good tones. Setting 6 is a ridiculously good 8-Bit once you lock in the right settings
Between the 2 reverbs here can you get a classic surf tone?
So they make a series of pedals. All with 7's on them/ But, don't want you to refer them as 7 series pedals. Maybe they do not understand how that works? You put 7's on them, they are 7 series pedals.
The mode 3 in E7 is absolutely from classic Dr Who
Lofi Gary Numan or new wave sounds with that synth. Hit the drum machine and lift off 🛸
Great video, thanks. How durable is that pedal ?
For even more fun, feed the synt E7 pedal with a Mooer micro drummer pedal, and try to keep up with the beat ...
Hi , i was planning to get the d7 delayd mooer, but a friend advice flashback tc delayd is more fun...whsts your afvice🙂👍
Yesss! Thank you!
Love the face, I felt the same way when I started jamming with this thing... Now you gotta make a video with the E7 plug to an old Yamaha porta-tone keyboard...
The synth pedal lacks a depth knob. Too much swish. Seems like fun to play with...for about half an hour.
Learn them 4 pedals really good and then do another video like a part ???

Ah, and yes - it did sound much better with a reverb. Something I'll be exploring today. Along with a fuzz ;-)
They are a bit wild… I gotta have em
I kinda love how nasty the synth pedal sounds. Like, it's lofi and crappy but kinda charming.
Here is your reminder to review the Caline Reflector (affordaboard territory).
I want that shirt so bad
Mode 3 is straight out of castlevania or wizards and warriors
wow
Certainly the E7 on it's own with the mix turned all the way up sounds rather bad, so needs more effects & the mix turned back so you have more of the dry guitar & it would be far more useful
5:08 sounds more like a harmonica.
Dank
No
Are you?
No I don't drink but I would love to have those pedals man
hahaha that little bit of weezer at the beginning might get some youtube copyright cops at your tail, you better watch out
Here in my car...
the synth would be great fun until the novelty wore off (about 2 hours) and never used again
Des Carter I seriously question lasting 2 hours.....
im honestly imaging a ton of distorted glitchty crystal castles and death grips style sounds you could eek out of it
This would drive me off a cliff quickly.
Hmmmm.... it is interesting, I can appreciate the synth pedal for what it is.... but just not for me necessarily.
I need me some of that 8-bit synth sound (second to last) with a generous helping of that church verb with long trails...thats the sexiness my tracks need
I just bought the e7 one for a friend who plays guitar. I will only allow him to jam with me and my pedals and synths if he uses it. hee hee hee
Love the shirt! Would’ve been nice to have the edited down demo version to save... let’s go with time 🥴
kuLL!
Sounds like a Nintendo got stuck.
Or as I always refer to shredders: a Gameboy on Spasm
the synth pedal is nothing but a headache machine

You should of seen your face when you did synth. Looked like a giggle lol.

mrNobody100 I’ll check the settings on it. UA-cam has been auto inserting midroll ads and I have to turn them off manually. Maybe I messed that up.

That's what synth will do to you kids. They will force you to read manuals.
These pedals sound like my ass on a rainy day.
No to the Synth and the Reverb was ok. Nothing too special
That synth pedal is awful. Migraine in a box.
I think it sounds great
Not for me on the synth.
With extreme prejudice.
Glad to see companies experiment, but..
Second
Navel gazers.Doing tunes at a gig? I don't think so.
My god these sound horrid.
