Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Bass Mono Synth is a monophonic bass synthesizer pedal that packs eleven classic synth voices, transforming a bass guitar into vintage style monosynth tones without MIDI pickups or modifications. Using EHX's effective pitch tracking, it delivers huge, powerful basslines from classic fusion to progressive madness, covering synth bass, square and saw leads and other monophonic synth sounds. A SENS control tunes how playing dynamics trigger the synth, and a CTRL knob adjusts a key parameter for each voice. It suits bassists in funk, fusion, electronic, prog and pop who want instant access to a range of classic mono synth bass tones from their normal bass rig.
