![]() If you compare the microsynth sub-octave/etc signal levels to the 'true bypass' signal, the effected signal can get VERY loud. The early versions used the boosted guitar signal for bypass, which made the 'clean/bypassed' output not only incredibly hot, but oftentimes distorted. ![]() In some ways it seems more trouble than it's worth to me to try and get this to work off of 9v, but I'm curious anyway, because I believe David Cockerell who worked on the original is back at EHX and is behind this version too. Seems like EHX got penny-wise and instead of using 2x value caps in the smoothing filter of the bass version, they simply use 2x value resistors instead. The filter looks different though and that (to me) is the critical area.and where some of the voltage differences are more significant and require value and layout changes. I imagine it won't be long after the midi adapter comes out before I move to the SB2 MWBD.I never noticed the fine, though only partially complete work of tracing the XO version was done and offered here.įrom what is drawn, the values and connections look quite similar to the bipolar voltage version of the schematics from Dec 1978. I think it mainly comes down to if you want the 6 presets and have plenty of room for it in your setup or if you are into the Hot Hand. But the expanded control of the hot hand on the SB2 make it very attractive. I have a Pro version mainly because I control my fx with midi and without the midi adapter available at this time, I really didn't have a choice. *Expression pedal compatible only with SA dual expression pedal *Hot hand can be assigned to any cingular control knob, default is to morph presets But will have Midi in/out and can daisy chain midi data using the SA daisy chain cable between other SB2 pedals *Midi control, after midi adapter is released. *Expression pedal morphs between presets only *Hot hand and expression pedal can be used at the same time *Hot Hand controls only the amount of drive *Midi control via standard midi cable, In only I'm not sure how similar they are, but I can answer any questions you have about the filters in it most likely. I like to use an envelope filter (I use an MXR Bass EF) running into a digital octave pedal (for weird sounds I use the EQD Organizer, for normal sounds I use an EHX Pitchfork) and I dial the clean sound way down, or all the way out, then I run that into an OD for some warmth. If you're looking to make palatable/useful synth sounds, you're probably better just pairing up a few separate pedals than relying on just one. ![]() The Blue Box is a nasty fuzz, and the Bit Commander can do a cool bit reduced OD, an octavia-esque octave up, and a glitchy octave down/sub bass sound. I still use the Blue Box and Bit Commander because they do a solid job emulating an over driven analog synth (the EHX does as well, I just don't care for the way it sounds), but also because they work as more than just synth pedals. Also, the tracking is so shotty that that you probably just wont want to mess with them. In the case of the Boss, and Digitech they're pretty much one trick ponies with a sound that isn't super usable/versatile, and you'll probably get tired of them. I'll say that I've owned a lot of these (Boss SYB-5, Digitech BSW, EHX Microsynth, EQD Bit Commander, and the MXR Blue Box), and honestly they're not typically going to be worth it.
