Just as guitars seem to pair so intimately well with overdrives (as do bass guitars), I feel like synthesizer pedals are simply meant to be paired with bass. My one critique of the pedal is that the high end frequencies can get a bit out of control and would benefit from a high frequency shelf, and the pedal isn’t without its artifacts, which will be cool to some and an annoyance to others.īass Guitar and Synthesize Pedals – One in the Same The pedal tracks well and is quiet, even when paired with distortion pedals. Whether you’re looking to create bass tones for the club, fusion, or for the Terminator soundtrack, this pedal has something from that era in it. The Mono Synth seems to focus on synthesizer sounds of the eighties, creating massively textured and unnatural sounds that are fun to play around with. Finally, the Preset pedal lets you switch to the Preset mode, giving you access to 11 presets, selected using the Synthesizer selector wheel.

The control that may require some experimenting or opening the manual for is the Control knob itself, which modifies a unique parameter for each of the eleven synthesizers. Sensitivity controls the input Gain of the pedal before triggering. The Synth control lets you dial in how much of the synth sound you want in the mix.
The Dry control lets you dial in the bass’ dry sound in with the effected tone. I also wanted to include pedals for any budget, however most bass synth pedals are a little bit pricey, so even my “budget” option on this list is more expensive than normal.Īs I mentioned before, the controls on this pedal are designed to be simple to understand and to use. Guitar synth pedals were included on this list if they received positive reviews when used with bass. In compiling this list I wanted to include pedals that were monophonic, as well as polyphonic, but however they worked I wanted to include pedals that could serve as experimental platforms. Keyboard synths are labeled this way too, and as a result a lot of monophonic synthesizer keyboards were used for bass lines, as bass often just plays one note at a time. Polyphonic tracks multiple notes at the same time. There are two kinds of synthesizer tracking: monophonic and polyphonic. If you want a pedal to work as advertised/expected, it’s best to do your research on how the pedal tracks, then think about how it sounds. This is important when buying the best bass synth pedal for your playing because not all synth pedals work the same. In the case of bass guitars, however, the note is being organically created from the instrument, so the main purpose of the synthesizer pedal is to track this note and then modify/filter/distort it. They were digitally created and then modified. In the case of keyboards, the keys usually didn’t create their own sound. While synthesizers are typically associated with keyboards, as this is how most popular synthesizers were designed at first, how synthesizers work can be applied to any instrument.
