Splitting the wet and dry signals to two different knobs is the mark of a pedal truly and specifically designed for bassists. Thank you for this. Sounds rad. I can already picture a deluxe version of this coming out with an LFO rate knob, more parameter options per mode, MIDI connectivity, etc.
Holy Moly! I used this pedal for the first time at our rehearsal yesterday. I absolutely love it, especially in combination with an expression pedal and the Big Muff dlx I use. Great stuff and massively inspirational!
Just bought it. Been on pretty much every review on UA-cam researching this. So long as the tracking is good, I think its going to be a favourite and much used pedal.
That delay at the end sounds freaking amazing. I was offered this pedal in a trade, assumed I wouldn’t want it, watched this demo, and changed my mind .
5:06 Noice! Thoroughly enjoyed this video, great playing & tones. How do you guys keep doing it?!? Month after month you release amazing, creative, toneful boxes of crazy. I love it. Keep doing what you’re doing; EHX is killing it!
The multi-pedal jam at the end is just amazing; hats off to you! It’s so easy to fall into the fun of experimenting but loose track of what’s musically worthwhile and what’s interesting but probably a waste of time. Not you!
Wow, I have purchased mine some minutes ago after watching lots of videos about this beauty! Can't wait for receiving my EHX bass mono synth! Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
I've been waiting for this since the first 9 series pedals were released. Glad to see it has a preset feature! For those that can't fit a Bass Micro Synth on their board, or need a preset, this may be the solution.
First of all, I am assuming that it is mono due to the bass frequencies. However the tweakability of this one (or even more) combined with the polyphony of the Synth9 would lead to a great pedal. Maybe combined with the expression input controlling various parameters as in the DMB. Assuming also that this pedal accepts both CV and expression, I think a video with the DrumBrute Impact sending clock out to the 8-step sending sequences to the Bass Mono Synth would be great.
With the right EQ cuts and arrangement, it surely should sit pretty fine. The exception could the the "bigger" sounds in the frequency spectrum, but those would be good for a specific part or lead.
got the mono synth through a darkglass vintage microtubes and it sounds awesome. great for setting a base rhythm down on a looper to play over. Now after this video I really want an Arturia Drumbrute!!
Hey, Pat. It's Jason Salomone from CRANE. I've been researching synth pedals for a while, and I went with this one...in part because it's versatile and offers preset options, and in part because you seemed enthusiastic about it. So far it's cool. Thanks!
I thought exactly the same thing, although I imagine it would be hard to integrate sustain, decay and release, because those are parameters you control with your playing. But yeah, waveform, cutoff, res, lfo, detune...that would be sick!!
I just gave you my money through an online retailer, it says back ordered. I'm 46 have more important priorities in my life right now, but I MUST PLAY 99 LUFTBALLONS RIGHT NOW!!!
Nice to see a Bass pedal like this. These guys get a groove going why not add that special lil some thing like this pedal to send things into other realms.
Im looking for something that will allow the bass to do the synth sound on Rushs' " Tom Sawyer " got anything like that with sustain ? Ir recommendations ??
@@hegemonycricket2182 I was thinking the same thing. I have this in guitar version. It's not for everything though having it blended back really keeps the wildness at bay though still adds the crazy if you're into it. :) Actually thinking about removing mine from the guitar board and adding it to a bass board.
Would you recommend flats or rounds? Seems like flats might track better since they produce a more pure fundamental. Also, how well does it work with fretless bass?
I just purchased one of these for my setup. On my board right now, my pedal chain is tuner, comp, octaver, chorus, phaser, delay, and looper. Where would be the best spot to place the Mono Synth? Thanks in advance.
From my experience with my current synth pedals, it always lies best after compressor to help with the tracking and octaver after Synth to thicken the lows on those sharper sounding synth patches.

Would I be able to get the same tones and effects on the EHX micro bass synth? what's the difference between them?
I'll add to the 'difference' part of the question. The Bass Micro Synth is a single synth tucked into a stompbox. While versatile, you're always manipulating the same synthesizer. This pedal simulates multiple different mono synthesizers, but you don't get the same level of control over the models.
so cool I want to buyt a bass guitar and that pedal a writing song tool makes one creative and flow ,,,,,,,imagine the songs one could write a new era of art music sonic dream bliss,,,,wow like a sythn with a bass guitar music new and fresh and alive
All those cool sounds and expression pedal capable? I know what I'm getting for my birthday this year! By the way, how does this pedal work with guitar? I mess around with both instruments.
I have an idea to make it polyphonic. Split the audio path into 6 overlapping band pass signals. Then a narrow edge dection to catch the loudest harmonic over tone. Then feed each of the 7 signals into it's own vco.
You know that feeling? When you finally get that last pedal and say "Okay, that's it: my pedalboard is complete now 😉". Yeah, neither do I 😆

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! A means of playing authentic synth sounds on a bass guitar! No latency!

That last sound is the most beautiful sound i've ever heard come out of a bass!! :D
I kind of understand what you mean. I can just imagine what Chris Squire is thinking in the afterlife.
Just bought it. Been on pretty much every review on UA-cam researching this. So long as the tracking is good, I think its going to be a favourite and much used pedal.

The delay at the end is from the Canyon pedal
5:06 Noice!

This demo gives me just what I need to decide that this synth is the one for me!!
wow, it's rare i see a demo and get sold on it before i'm even halfway through!
So many good synth pop lines in here
you know the name of the one at 1:22?
Wow, I have purchased mine some minutes ago after watching lots of videos about this beauty! Can't wait for receiving my EHX bass mono synth! Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
It's a joy to watch EHX videos.
This is really cool, glad to see some bass synth love but also waiting on the marianas trench (oceans 11 + canyon)
Just sent this to my bass player :-) Each month an awesome pedal, you guys rock!
I've been waiting for this since the first 9 series pedals were released. Glad to see it has a preset feature! For those that can't fit a Bass Micro Synth on their board, or need a preset, this may be the solution.
BY FAR THE SINGLE BEST INNOVATIVE PEDAL FOR BASS, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, AND REALLY REALLY AWESOME WITH REVERB!!! WHO NEEDS A KEYBOARD PLAYER NOW?
Well done on winning your court case against mooer 🤘🏼👍
Steve Blake someone wanna full me in?
I''m so glad that you guys keep releasing cool new pedals, this one looks great, i'd use it for some Weather Report myself
Brilliant demo chap. Buying one now!
Awesome playing there, the multi pedal setup at the end was pretty cool to.
The Knife! sounded very good at the end there nice.
Totally! That convinced me.

Some useful sounds here. Really wondering how this will perform in a band/sit in the mix.

Love this review, just bought this pedal, looking forward to it arriving
Did you like it? I wasn't impressed.
EHX does it again! You guys keep my wallet empty. This will be my fourth pedal from Mike and crew in a year.
Honestly might just get this for the Oblivion.
The is what the Boss Synth SHOULD have been. This is a great pedal
Grande Santo Tomás 🎶!!!!
Vine a buscar este comentario 😂

Really cool pedal. Beyond expectations.

Vlad Jason! So good to hear from you. Get in touch: patrick at EHX dot com
Sounds fantastic...
Just bought one.....its fantastic 👌🏽
Nice song selection, too!
Fantastic. This will become a bass must-have pedal.
Patrick!!! Love your demo and the rhythms and patterns you chose👌sounds great for this range of price I feel! My next purchase surely
Great sounding pedal, great demo. Thanks! I'm sold! :-)
Man, you've done it again. This guitar-playing bass player wannabe wanna's that pedal! Great demo, Patrick.
didn't expect Boards of Canada there...
This pedal will go great with my Pog 2!
that oblivion mode.... i like it
But here's the million dollar question: How well does it track?
Id be happy with a pedal that just played Oblivion
Great demo, good use of familiar songs
This is so awesome! Just add some distortion and you’d be playing Suicide on bass! Love it 🖤
Since you guys mastered polyphonic note detection (like the C9, B9, etc), why not a guitar/bass to midi pedal/box/whatever?
I would love that. Just a monophonic (maybe even Polyphonic) tracking pedal with a simple midi output...
Oh the possibilities!
This is now on my shopping list!
5:27 makes me think of 007 golden eye on the n64....good times
Dude I swear this pedal was used on the song "average brown wookie" by Peter mccdonal. He wrote music for star wars the old republic.
this thing would be good if it had some basic synth parameters for filter cutoff and resonance as well as some basic envelope functions ADSR or ADR.
I thought exactly the same thing, although I imagine it would be hard to integrate sustain, decay and release, because those are parameters you control with your playing.
But yeah, waveform, cutoff, res, lfo, detune...that would be sick!!
I just gave you my money through an online retailer, it says back ordered. I'm 46 have more important priorities in my life right now, but I MUST PLAY 99 LUFTBALLONS RIGHT NOW!!!
got one! wait for the demo.
Electroharmonics are light years ahead of other pedal companies
Nice to see a Bass pedal like this. These guys get a groove going why not add that special lil some thing like this pedal to send things into other realms.
I need one immediately
It looks like this thing does things my stupid syb-3 does not. I wanted exactly that 20 years ago.
Cool bass pedal! Thinking of buying one, for my (Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth cover.
Distortion pedal is better for Anesthesia, this one is for more pop/electro sounds
If you want to sound like Cliff Burton, you only need to buy the EHX Bass Muff
02:28 fuck yeah, New Order!
Are you planning to release a polyphonic micro synth for guitar? Someday?
The Synth 9 is polyphonic for guitar.
No plans for a poly micro synth as its analog and would need a hex pickup.
A programmable micro synth would make my year!!
EHX it would be great if you could control the speed of the WUB modulation with the expression pedal !
Exciting stuff!!
Really good!
MUST HAVE!!
I love EHX!!!!!!
Sega Genesis soundcard in a pedal :p
I just wish that the 9 series had the preset and exp pedal functionality.
The only problem is you can’t adjust the effect volume. I tried it. The dry/wet volume is not enough for a live use.
Thats how they sell their preamps ;p
Do you not own an amp? 🤷
Out of curiosity why would you need that?
As the folks on the interwebz say, shut up and take my money.
Sounds great, tracks great.
Im looking for something that will allow the bass to do the synth sound on Rushs' " Tom Sawyer " got anything like that with sustain ? Ir recommendations ??
the ONLY thing i wish this had was a softer bass synth sound too because most of them are quite intense but other than that, this thing is sweet!
I bet you can soften them up by using the dry knob...blending in more of the dry signal
@@hegemonycricket2182 I was thinking the same thing. I have this in guitar version. It's not for everything though having it blended back really keeps the wildness at bay though still adds the crazy if you're into it. :) Actually thinking about removing mine from the guitar board and adding it to a bass board.
I use an autowah after that which makes sounds smoother.
Ooohhhhhhhhh!
wish it had the minimoog bass sound...like the one heard to some Chigago songs produced by David Foster..i think 🤔
The EHX Synth 9 pedal has that sound.
funky stuff!
Will this work well with the low B of a 5 string bass?
Yes
Can I get this bad boy early at NAMM?
No but it will be there.
@@EHX Straightforward. I like it.
EHX the master teasers. They teased me with the cock fight a few years ago at namm
When will it be in Europe? Thinking Thomann for example. February? Been waiting for exactly such a pedal for a long time
Does the pedal lose the saved presets when the battery dies or is removed?
Gotta get me one of these.
This is all kinds of amazing. Can you sync the LFO using midi or control voltage? It sounds great, just thinking how it might fit for live performance
Would you recommend flats or rounds? Seems like flats might track better since they produce a more pure fundamental. Also, how well does it work with fretless bass?
I NEED THAT!!!!
Sounds cool.

No that is a different sound and different circuit.

🔊🎶AWESOME!!!🔊🎶🎸
I can hear the sound of millions of bass speakers crying out in pain due to the sub octaves.
Still, cool pedal.
Hopefully it's got compression built in like on the synth 9
Those bass players can eat it
1:23 universidad santo tomas intensifies*
Entendi esa referencia
I'm so ready for it, but I'm not sure my bass is !
Awesome video. Subbed
so how does it sound if you put a real mono synth through it?
Just my thought! I wanna route it as an fx send and blend with 303 sound
Amazing!!!! How does this respond with guitar?
They have one of the same line specifically for guitar.
@@scottsigler With a different set of sounds tho
Will this work in my 6-string rig?
I have an idea to make it polyphonic. Split the audio path into 6 overlapping band pass signals. Then a narrow edge dection to catch the loudest harmonic over tone. Then feed each of the 7 signals into it's own vco.
Does it play nice with active basses? Where do you put it? After or before an envelope filter?
manual says this pedal needs to be the first pedal, and never put it in a effects loop.
intersting . What happens when playing two or more notes together ?
Its mono in, so if you play two notes it gets confused and may not trigger the correct note.
Filter cutoff and resonance control as well as filter env amount go a long way
