Re: Is Microsynth used in any songs?

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...
Currently using:
Ibanez RG1570 (DiMarzio MegaDrive bridge) - Peavey Royal 8
Board:
RMC Wizard Wah (2005)
EHX Small Stone (Big box)
Boss SD-1 (Modded by PedalMods UK, 3-way gain voicing selection)
Ernie Ball VP-JR
Boss DD-3 (1987)
T-Rex Fuel Tank Jr.

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.

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.

I'm far from being a "big name", but I think my use of it is pretty damn practical: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=5906738

Re: Is Microsynth used in any songs?

I've heard it used by: Primus Eagles of Death Metal ... um that's all I can really think of right now, but there are others I just have a shit memory. Awesome pedal.... would be an EPIC pedal if they could figure out how to put presets on it.

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 :eek: 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.

Re: Is Microsynth used in any songs?

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?
