Hey Folks,
I’ve owned a slew of EHX pedals over the years, usually have at least one on my board at any given time.
Anyway I’ve been really curious about the Super Ego synth engine, but had a question I can’t find an obvious answer to on the demo vids I’ve seen, etc.
This pedal has the function to run an effects loop and send the WET signal through additional effects. Demo vids I’ve seen have made amazing use of this by routing the wet signal through, Reverb, Chorus, Octave effects, etc.
But what about when the Super Ego is turned OFF? Would that mean any pedals in the loop are just unavailable? I like the idea of sticking a phaser and chorus pedal in the loop but not if I can ONLY use those pedals with the Super Ego from then on.
Thoughts?

You could probably work around it using some sort of looping arrangement but it would be fiddly. Just one modulation type pedal in the loop sounds great though. You don’t really need to put reverb or delays in the loop as it has a reverberant quality of its own. If you like droney krautrocky or psychedelic type music you’ll love this pedal.
May 7, 2014 at 7:35 am #119939memorymanstefMemberhello guys, would like to know some informations about this cool effect… where it should be placed in the pedalboard?…at the moment my pedalboard is:
TU2
WAH
SOUL PREACHER
BASSBALLS
SOULFOOD
BIGMUFF
WIGGLER
SMALL STONE
DELUXE ELECTRIC MISTRESS
DELUXE MEMORY MAN
STEREO MEMORY MAN HAZARAI
HOLY GRAIL
SUPEREGO
DIGITECH JAMMAN LOOPER
..so is it correct?
my opinion is that have a light delay when press n freeze the sound in the latch n momentary mode…
thx for reply

Obviously one of those pedals that encourages experimentation.

May 21, 2014 at 1:53 pm #119991PeterayMemberI’ve tried separating & recombining the my muff & monkey from the superego with a Boss LS-2 mixer pedal (or you could use a small mixing desk) – it works, but it will take up a lot of room on your board!
Have a look at this thread- https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/5947/

thx but still not understand how improve my setup…ok i can buy a split pedal(like radial efx or radial aby), but my questions are: “where could i put the splitter? ” xsist a way to take off my superego from the signal of soul food or big muff”….
i post again my setup:

bassballs(envelope filter)
soul food
big muff
wiggler
small stone
deluxe electric mistress
deluxe memory man
stereo memory man with hazarai
holy grail
superego
digitech jamman(looper)
….pls help my mood!May 23, 2014 at 12:02 pm #119996PeterayMemberI suppose you would just split the signal before the Muff & Soulfood & merge it after them. I admit I find it hard to think through all the possible permutations of your signal chain (I’ve never been any good at chess either).
I think your best bet would be to get a splitter/ merger pedal & experiment. They are very useful pedals to have anyway- I have a Boss LS-2. They’re cheap, useful in many applications, and I’ve noticed no tone-suck whatever the gear snobs say.
