If you are picking lite put a simple booster in front to increase sensitivity.
A compressor works well also.Quote:Man, I love this pedal. My favorite is the Latch setting. The auto function works but I have pretty light touch so it is a little difficult to track. My guitar being very low output probably doesn’t help much.bill ruppertParticipantTry the Superego before the Mothership.
The freezing is most likely to fast to capture the envelope of the synth.Quote:This was an excellent demo Bill! I have a Superego now and the auto function tracks my clean guitar signal very well. When I engage my Pigtronix Mothership analogue synthesizer though, it has a lot of trouble tracking the VCO (set to square wave) unless I mix in a lot of my clean guitar signal, which I don’t necessarily want to do. This is also an issue if I have the sub octave and VCO engaged. Given how the Superego tracked the Big Muff, I was surprised by this. My signal chain is a les paul type guitar going into a Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone > HBE Germania treble boost > Mothership > Boss Harmonist > Superego Iron Ether Xerograph low pass filter. The Superego setting I’ve been using has the speed pot fully clockwise, gliss pot fully disengaged, dry signal between 0 and noon and effect signal fully clockwise. Any advice for the tracking issues? Thank you!bill ruppertParticipantQuote:What is the setting on the Q buton.I use the LPF at 70% cause I feelt It was too bright sounding even at flat setting (I got a Vox/Fender Kind of amp, all tube fender kind preamp and Vox AB power amp).
I found that pushing the attack filter at 40% I can get the bright bite to disapear. I use the volume pedal to swell the chords (more difficult because of the filter but Im getting better at IT)
I think it was the second Q settings.
But experiment as different guitars will give different results.
I am thrilled you are getting the sound!
Billbill ruppertParticipantA reverb pedal with an effects loop would be very cool!
Quote:Wow love this pedal. Is it possible in the future ehx might release a reverb pedal that has an effects loop. That way you could change the reverb sound by adding effects to it and keep the dry signal normal. Treating the reverb like delay repeats?bill ruppertParticipantThe sound is similar to the freeze but in auto mode less glitchy and never out of tune as when people freeze to fast with their foot.
The clip with the Big Muff should sound synthesized as the Big Muff was set at max creating a near square wave! That is not an OD sound but more of a raw synth wave.
The V256 portamento is a very different sound than the Superego..
The Superego gliss is a softer sound.
Hope that helps.
BillQuote:Yeah pal, I see what you did there. The pedal chain in the Orchestron is almost the same to the pedal chain of the ARP Solina sound you showed for St.Patrick day, but of course both the Orchestron and the Solina were developed to try to fit the Mellotron´shoes and both were used for symphonic textures (thoug my favourite would allways be the freeman)acording to here: http://www.gepr.net/proginst.html the use of the Orchestron was featured in Yes´s Relayer with Patrick Moraz, though the monster Orchestron that he used looks nothing like the modest keyboard in the video.
I was thinking in buying the freeze but the super ego looks better for drones, with the effects loop and all that. What would you say is the main difference in sound other than the extra features? I feel the frozen sound in the Superego sounds more Synthetized, It could be my imagination, or the way you set the Big Muff, cause It doesnt soun like an overdriven freeze.
Also CAN YOU GET TRANSPOSITION/PORTAMENTO SOUNDS like the ones you got with the V256?
bill ruppertParticipantYes.
But the superego lets you play it more like an instrument with the auto mode and gliss.
The effects loop lets you take it further yet.Quote:The Freeze uses the Granular synthesis too??bill ruppertParticipantQuote:sounds very good, but how does this sound without any other effects?bill ruppertParticipantThanks!
It works great with bass.Quote:This one blows me away!!!! Would this work with Bass? What about if I had a Moog Minotaur? If not then will we see a bass edition of the superego?You guys have out done yourself this time.
bill ruppertParticipantI go direct with a clean Fender amp simulator.
Very neutral in sound.Quote:Bill, do you record these demos through an amp or direct?bill ruppertParticipantThey are shipping limited quantities in 2 + weeks.
Quote:Is there an official release date for this yet? Dying to get my hands on one!bill ruppertParticipantGerard….”pure rock stars all nonsense”????
Keith Emerson is an amazing musician I have no idea how you would you would call him nonsence.
I hope it is a translation problem between your language and English:-)
I would love an expanded synth pedal from EHX!
Its up to the genius Mike Matthews….
BillQuote:I found It while looking at ELP references, I also found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catterick_(TV_series)ELP was like KISS of progressive rock, pure rock stars all nonsense. I saw you video on how to turn the guitar in a moog, I would really wish EHX made a portamento pedal, the v256 is too expensive to use only one function. Or they could add It to the MycroSynth together with a Low Pass Filter and a Ring Modulator and Make a huge pedal like the Hog.
That would be like a pigtronix Mothership with Filter Sweep, in fact It could be more convenient If EHX made a Filter Sweep pedal so I could Add It to the Mothership. But for now all the keyboard sounds that I need are in my little Mellotron/POG2 (plus a chorus for the “rotary” sound)
bill ruppertParticipantGerard
I laughed so hard!!!!!
THANK YOU I need that.
That was the best part of my day.
Bill RuppertQuote:The effectology series is making me have a pedal collection bigger than Keith Emmerson´s Keyboard Collectionbill ruppertParticipantGreat ideas Julian!!
Thanks.Quote:I’m still GASing for this thing.If you need any suggestions for upcoming effectologies: A couple pedals I’d like to hear in combo with the Ravish Sitar:
Frequency Analyzer or Ring Thing (so you could tune the sympathetics to all the upper and lower sideband notes of a particularly gongy sounding chord) + the ravish I think would sound pretty cool.
HOG – maybe with some half-cocked freeze glissed 5ths? I’ve always found that can get a pretty far out eastern sound by itself, I’d like to hear it in combination with the Ravish.
Microsynth – I don’t know, I just suspect it’d sound cool.
bill ruppertParticipantThe settings for the bass sounds are shown in the video.
Just pause the video when the pedal is shown and adjust your pedal.
Thanks for watching!
BillQuote:How about the settings used in the bass video with “The Ravish Sitar”?bill ruppertParticipantThe CS-80 was a HEAVY keyboard!!!
I wonder how did ever shipped that thing!
They are on Ebay once in awhile.
I would love to see one. -
