Another thing you can do will help. One of the electronic techs at my job told me the sliders are not well protected from dust. Open the HOG, get your gas canister & clean it up. Big difference in noise. Just be careful not to touch anything inside the unit, it’s a digital gadget & some of those bits & pieces are ESD sensitive.
Folkstone57MemberThe Black Finger is a compressor & although I love mine, I don’t think the tubes color the sound enough to make a big tone difference. Having said that, if you need compression & are willing to spend some times finding the right tubes, you may be able to coax enough color out out to make for a pleasing result. However, I don’t think it will replace the sound of a tube amp.

I see them on eBay all the time. http://instruments.shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=micro+synthesizer+harmonix+-xo&_sacat=619&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_sop=10&LH_PrefLoc=2&_dmpt=Guitar_Accessories&_odkw=micro+synthesizer&_osacat=619
There’s a Bass one here as well: http://www.parkwaymusic.com/effects/effects_used_vintage.shtml
Oh s**t how did i miss those! They definitely weren’t there when i checked ebay this morning.
Hello,
I have one for sale if you are still interested.
Folkstone57MemberI would suggest using the new H.O.G.2 for all these functions, then producing a NanoMicroSynth for just the sound engine like the SuperEgo.
Folkstone57MemberGreat idea, or it just add a CV jack so any pedal could do what you are suggesting like the Super Pulsar.
Folkstone57MemberTo create a clear wide pan, you have to use the mono input since with a stereo input, the original signal is still coming through the FX in stereo. I just got one & it does a great job of creating some very wide pans with my guitar input.
Folkstone57MemberQuote:I’ve been playing with the clock in extensively in the last week. Quite reliable. I use a Molten Voltage CTRL SYNC to act between the MIDI clock and the Super Pulsar. It took me a long time to figure out the sync because I realized after awhile that my cable was shorting out. Talk about pure frustration.I have the MV SYNC box as well. I’m using it on my Roland Juno-6 & so far it’s working well. Looking forward to trying it when my Super Pulsar gets in.
Folkstone57MemberQuote:I love seeing all of the new samplers that EHX have released recently…. 450000, 360….Curious question for all the other users of samplers: does anyone else see the usefulness of
1. having a Tap SW port to sync to an external clock?
2. having a port that would allow for external triggering of a single instance of the sample so that it could be compatible with the Clockworks?
3. a midi port to accept program change messages?Hello,
I would say yes to all.
Folkstone57MemberQuote:Yes, but that isn’t what manufacturers usualy mean when they describe poly pitch shifting gear. The Whammy DT has only one shifted interval output but it was still described as a polyphonic pitch shifter because it can handle a polyphonic input. Likewise the Slammi. This is the generally accepted use of the word when used to describe pitch shifters ie it describes their ability to handle polyphonic input rather than the ability to provide more than one shifted output. The Pitch Fork is capable of handling polyphonic input, which is what EHX mean …and it also offers a possible dual shifted output. Why do you think they use both words in their description; ‘polyphonic’ and ‘dual’. Because it’s capable of cleanly processing a ‘polyphonic’ input signal ie chords and it can also output ‘dual’ shifted intervals.This may seem at odds to the synth world where the word polyphonic usually denotes a synthesizers ability to output multiple notes simultaneously, but it’s not what is usually meant in the pitch shifting world.
Agree with how the use of “polyphonic” has changed in the pedal world, although I think it’s not helping at all. At least, make it clear that a pedal has polyphonic pitch shifting ( the pedal outputs 2 or more effected sounds ), it can handle polyphonic input or it is mono etc. As far as the “dual” bit, I have no idea what that means because it just seems to make things even more unclear……………..
Folkstone57MemberQuote:Quote:For instance, the original MicroSynth could produce multiple notes but it could not handle multiple notes input at once.Forgive me for being a smart-ass, but that’s because the MicroSynth wasn’t a poly pitch shifter, whereas the Slammi is.
Output was polyphonic, as you could get an octave up & down at the same time as well as the original note, but you could not play 2 notes INTO the MicrSynth & get much for a result. I’m using polyphonic to mean what the pedal itself can produce, not what kind of input it can handle.
Folkstone57MemberAh I see what you mean now, you’re talking about polyphony in regard to the number of shifted outputs available, where as I am talking about it’s ability to recognise and shift chords, which is what people usually mean when talking about ‘polyphonic pitch shifting’. Btw, in EHX’s own words the Slammi is quoted as being capable of “Three-octave polyphonic dive bombs”. And EHX STAFF posted news about the Slammi in these very forums; “Electro-Harmonix introduces the new SLAMMI Polyphonic Pitch-Shifter/Harmony Pedal.”[/quote]
Yes, I meant the pedal’s ability to generate tones, not if it could handle multiple notes input at once. For instance, the original MicroSynth could produce multiple notes but it could not handle multiple notes input at once.
Folkstone57MemberQuote:Superb poly pitch shifting,Not sure what you mean here as this isn’t a poly pitch shift unless you mean that you can play 2 notes & shift those ? For instance, the new Pitch Fork is polyphonic as you can play a single note & get two additional pitches just like the H.O.G.
Folkstone57MemberQuote:Hello,how much of a difference does it make to swap the AYs with the AU? Did anybody try it?
Changing the tubes will make a huge difference. I’ve mostly been working on more headroom & of course, tone. Also, be sure if you don’t like the sound you get, swap the positions & you may get a completely different result.

What does delay work good after the superego mean kind of new with pedals.
Hello,
I’d highly recommend you start listening to videos explaining the various kinds of FX pedals so you will have a better idea of what you have to work with. Reverb & delays create space, so it’s not really something that works well stuck into a mono loop. Same for chorus.
