    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 😆

    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.

    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.

    • @Luigitr00
      @Luigitr00 4 роки тому

      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.

    • @jaydeepalmer

      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.

      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.
