    Hello Again Bill,

    Thank you! Your simple suggestion had a big impact! The Mothership, EHX Micro Synth and my Noise Box all sound so much better because the problem of sustain has been decimated. The auto freeze feature makes this pedal a much more elegant and efficient solution than the Freeze. Calling this pedal a “synth engine” makes a lot more sense to me now, because while it definitely has synth sounds on its own, it drives pitch-tracking monophonic synth pedals amazingly if you are looking to create pads! Engaging the gliss effect with the Noise Box creates a thing of distorted beauty.

    Grateful for your help and to EHX for creating such a brilliant pedal!

    Best regards,

    Sjon Pelletier

    Try the Superego before the Mothership.
    The freezing is most likely to fast to capture the envelope of the synth.

    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!

    Thanks for the reply! I ended up getting the new Boss Harmonist PS-6 and it tracks the output from the Micro Synth and even a Subdecay Noise Box superbly!

    Best,
