Ed Friedland - The Bass Whisperer reviews the ElectroHarmonix Bass Micro Synth and Bass Blogger pedals. Brought to you by Guitar World Magazine ... "Ed Friedland" "Electro Harmonix" "Bass Micro Synth" "Bass Blogger" "Guitar World" "The Bass Whisperer"
Hey Ed, how come the volume goes down incredibly just when you turn the Drvie on the bass Blogger all the way up? I was really Xpecting that setting =S
I had to make a volume adjustment at that point – the audio track was getting over saturated and digital distortion is never pleasant.
hey ed ive watched a bunch of your videos and i was wondering out of the EHX the B:assmaster or the fulltone which do you prefer?
Well, I never reviewed the Fulltone. For distortion, I tend to like the EHX Bass Big Muff, though I didn’t review that either… it has a nice blend for the clean signal. The Blogger is great too for overdrive. I don;t use this stuff much anyway, I don’t play much rock, they’re just fun to mess with.
Sounds awful.
Not sure if you realize who you are commenting on. This guys is a legend.
I believe he’s referring to the pedal…
Yeah, I’m not very fond of the effects depending on the situation. But damn, you gotta respect the man
He’s awesome. Groovin
A question; if I have a boss OC-2 and a Q-tron, could I get those octave synth sounds?
Or they would be different in the bass micro synth?
Thanks!
Similar, but the EHX also has a square wave generator that gives it some distortion. Then of course… you have to get the Q-Tron and OC-2 to cooperate with each other.
Thank you;)
I have them both… and also a bassballs-But I’ve always wanted to have one of this… just wondering if It would be more of the same or not much different.
But besides the square wave, the octave may have a different color. I will give it a try. Sure It’s a lot of fun
just how “synth” a sound can you get with this synth? i want somthing almost kind of daft punk , the BOSS SYB-5 has the perfect sound but has horrible tracking problems…
Thanks
Adam
I don’t know how “synth” you mean. Listen to the demo…. that’s what it sounds like. I do a pretty complete run through of the sounds. Only you can determine if it’s “synth” enough.
sorry i was a bit vague…
i mean like techno sounding, “electronic sounding” ummmm daft punk-ish is an example i guess
sorry thats still pretty vague
Well, as I said, I ran through a lot of the possible sounds with this box, so watch the video and judge for yourself. Better yet, try to find one to check out in person. I thought the EHX did a good job of tracking, and the effects integrated well.
Nice piece of Herbie Hancock at 3:29 Ed.
Chameleon Pt.1 is one of my favorite grooves.
Good stuff, Ed. In your opinion, how does this pedal compare to the octave effects on the EHX Bass Microsynthesizer? Would it be redundant to have both? Thanks.
It’s strange that this review does not show up as hit #1 when you search for bass blogger it is the best result by far
Dude, your the first cat Ive ever seen advertising bass pedals that can actually play the bass, this demo trashes the demos on elctro harmonix’s web site, I wasn’t going to buy the micro synth after thier demo, but now I think I will, nice one.
Thanks.
Ed,
What are the settings at the very beginning of this video when you’re playing Boogie On Reggae Woman?
Sorry, but it was so long ago, I don’t remember….
The first video where the bass blogger sounds cool!
that’s sound great…
but one question : there is a sound level difference with that effect??
because I tryed a Q tron one time and the difference of output level was very important between with or without effect
thx for that demo!!
