    Always fun to find new tones. When I bought an EHX Bass Balls about 15 years ago, everything changed. Synth pedals just add to the fun.

    Wow, a synth pedal was something that I didn't know I needed. Very early in the video I realized I need to get one of these. At the end of the video, I realized I really want all of them.

    A P-bass and a synth is a classic sound, I love it. My mind goes to Deacy and Flash era Queen and Scott Thunes on a mini moog. That Boss pedal was astonishing.

    Another great way to make your Bass sounds like a synth bass is. Fuzz + Filter pedal. Throw in an Octave pedal aswell.

    • @PushSueAside

      a chorus, a vibrato and a pedal that does unison sounds as well

  • @Mark_Ocain
    @Mark_Ocain 2 года назад +3

    They all sound pretty good but my hat goes off to Boss..they put together a synth pedal I wouldn't mind owning! Sure packs a punch and sounds great. I like the Electro harmonics as well... it has some classy retro patches.

    It's cool to synth a bass. It's an important fill instrument, but can be kind of boring at times. These pedals sound pretty cool for those that use pedals. I would be highly interested in an actual synth pickup bass and software to modulate it in a dedicated format. I do with my processors and plugins now when working on material and tracking, but it would be cool for a company to take it to the extreme.

  • @soniklink-WKD4496

    They sound awesome, but a Synth's best friends are Reverb & Delay. Hope you try that next time :)

  • @ileutur6863
    @ileutur6863 2 года назад +6

    As much as I love making my bass sound like a synth, what's always missing is the punch that a real one has. Sure the tone is there but it always sounds just a bit weak, like it gas no body. Maybe its because I'm going through an amp instead of a full range PA?

    • @morphine0000
      @morphine0000 2 года назад +1

      That's part of the issue, yes, but also, keep in mind that almost certainly you can blend in an octave and/or the direct sound.

  • @StillLivinginthewoods
    @StillLivinginthewoods 2 года назад

    Should have used a Source Audio C4 Synth instead of the Keeley.
    The analog Keeley just can't keep up with the digital units, you really have to limit your playing range to keep it tracking.

  • @deldia
    @deldia 2 года назад +15

    These pedals don’t “track” so to speak. That’s why they are so effective. Mainly referring to the boss one. They are definitely performing a fast Fourier transform in real time and reshaping the peaks rather than trying to work out what notes you’re playing.

    • @simon_patterson
      @simon_patterson 2 года назад +1

      I have an SY1 which I use with my guitar. It responds to not just the volume of the note but also whether I use a pick or fingers, or slightly palm mute the strings as well. But it is completely unaffected by which pick-up or even which guitar I use. So the sound is clearly 100% generated by the unit. It's an amazing device.

    • @deldia
      @deldia 2 года назад +2

      @@simon_patterson only because the overtones from the different pickups are ignored by the device.

  • @ricksigurdson2016
    @ricksigurdson2016 2 года назад

    All I want for pedals on bass are a clean boost and a drive that gives me dirt to fuzz. Plus analog delay. Currently its a Solidgold soundlabs gen1 superduper boost and drive and a BBE two timer.
    Stil it sounds cool just cant see using it for bass or guitar. That's what the Roland is for.
    Plus the next pedal I buy will be a Headrush unit.

    I see that I’m in the minority here, but I found it pretty annoying that the dude in the hat (Pete?) kept playing around with knobs in a way that no player would ever do - or even be able to do - while actually playing a song. I understand it’s fun, but it’s impractical to the point that I find it distracting and frustrating. I want to know how the pedal functions for a working musician.
