Electro-Harmonix Mono Synth Pedal

Our Take:

Electro-Harmonix's Mono Synth pedal represents another phenomenal addition to their array of guitar synthesizer pedals, offering you eleven amazing synths to experiment with. No special pickups, modifications, or MIDI implementation needed; the Mono Synth is ready to go as soon as you plug in your 1/4". With four knobs for precise control of your tone, and the option for an expression pedal, the Mono Synth is an incredibly powerful guitar synthesizer that any musician will have a blast with!

EHX's Take:

The EHX Mono Synth transforms your guitar into eleven great sounding synthesizers. From vintage synth emulations to fat, stacked voices, to soaring lead sounds, the Mono Synth has you covered. The Mono Synth was designed to work on guitar without any modifications, special pickups, or MIDI implementation. Its intuitive layout makes it easy to use and easy to dial in cool sounds quickly. The pedal's DRY dial adjusts the dry guitar volume at the Synth Output, while SYNTH controls the volume of the synthesizer sound at the Synth Output. Used together, they let you create just the right mix. The SENS control, short for sensitivity, adjusts how playing dynamics trigger the synthesizer and allows you to fine-tune the pedal's response to your guitar and playing style. With the CTRL knob, you can adjust a key parameter for each of the eleven synth types. It varies depending on the preset and provides extra tweakability for customizing your sound. There's also an EXP input that lets you control an entirely different parameter in real-time with an expression pedal!
