ELECTRO HARMONIX Bass Mono Synth

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Bass Mono Synth

The Electro-Harmonix Bass Mono Synth is a transformative pedal designed specifically for bass guitar. It instantly converts your bass's natural sound into one of 11 studio-quality synthesizers. As a monophonic instrument, it is designed for playing single notes, giving bassists the ability to perform "synth bass" lines characteristic of electronic, pop, or funk music.

The pedal features intuitive controls. The DRY and SYNTH knobs allow for precise mixing of the clean bass signal with the synthetic sound. The SENS (sensitivity) control adapts the pedal's response to your instrument's output level and playing dynamics, ensuring accurate note tracking. The CTRL knob changes the main parameter of the selected synthesizer, and by connecting an expression pedal, another parameter can be controlled in real time. Additionally, one user preset can be saved for each of the 11 synthesizer types.
