Members JRBain Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 The guitar solo from Savior (RHCP) is Micro Synth, I do believe. It's the only song I know of that uses it, and the reason I first heard of the pedal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SnorkelMonkey Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 Josh Homme used to use it. I think you can hear it on all the QOTSA stuff up to about Lullabies were he switch over to an ultimate octave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members conky Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 Steve Von Til uses one but I couldn't tell you which songs he uses it in. I think I read that it's actually a Bass Micro synth. He also uses a HOG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted February 8, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 thanks. checking out the savior solo right now, i cant remember how it goes. youtube links would be useful i just want to see what kind of practical uses it has in songs, other than me just screwing around with it making sweet synth sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Amigo Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 I've heard it used by: PrimusEagles of Death Metal ... um that's all I can really think of right now, but there are others I just have a {censored} memory. Awesome pedal.... would be an EPIC pedal if they could figure out how to put presets on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Amigo Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 agreed, presets would be nice. but its honestly not too hard to set. very straight forward imo yeah but when you're on stage, those tiny little moves on the sliders can change the result a lot. and you don't want to be synth pluckin away trying to find your sound mid show, especially with a pedal that has such a great value for the audience. it bugs me also because you can get such massively different sounds out of it, and sometimes these sounds require a lot of tweaking... If someone could mod one into having presets, that would be amazing and I would have my microsynth back on my board in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members speon Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Used on the solo. This. 7:05-7:18 slays me every time...sounds like atoms being peeled apart to reveal a hidden nucleus solo. Do the reissues sound any better/worse than earlier larger enclosures?

Members Trashbag_Travis Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 The Dead Weather bassist Jack Lawrence uses it pretty much all the time. [video=youtube;wQW1Was1fFo] [video=youtube;WgwjG9ZHOro] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jumbo Fuzz Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's all over Siamese Dream. THIS. It's all over the new Birds of Avalon self-titled. It is really on display on the song "Invasion." If you own one/played one, it's sound is impossible to miss on that song (and on Siamese Dream).

Members taco-man Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Dean Ween keeps one on his pedal board. I know he has some "Square Wave Jam" stuff, but I'm not sure what album/live tracks it is on. I'll have to go back and listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the mix too. Did you use the MicroSynth for all of the filtery guitars, or just during the solo? Also, what are you using for delay?

Not sure about your other questions, but I am pretty sure he used it for the bass lines (if I remember correctly). Big fan of that song. He has a thread somewhere on here detailing the signal chains.
