Purpose-built pedal
NikolaM 18.11.2019
After watching every possible review and demo online, I decided it's something my rig needs to expand my sound. It was fun for about 15 minutes and then I realised only 3 sounds are actually usable. By usable I mean you can actually use them in songs, keep in mind the sound quality is poor and the latency and tone detection are not that great. I would advise running a gate and compression before (and after) this pedal to make sure it doesn't detect noise as tones and to make sure they actually last.

What can you use this pedal for? Not much. If you tend to play fast music, the pedal won't be able to detect the tone changes. You could probably play some simple or slow
paced tunes with it, maybe something ambiental. I personally use it only for one song where the same 3 tones are repeated throught the song.

It's decent when played through a small amp at home, but turn it up or run it dry through a PA and the poor sound quality becomes a problem. You could probably make it better with a few other pedals, in my opinion not worth the effort.

To sum it up: cheap gimmick that you will probably never use.

Sent in perfect shape

Product was well packed and well sent. There was no package damage nor cosmetic damage on the product. Seems that if you are into synth sounds it will give you varied options and will serve it's purpose. I recommend!

That's sucks
daDoo5150 21.01.2024
What a disappointment with this product. There is so much latency that it's unusable on songs that are a bit fast. I bought it to try to get the sound of Muse's Hysteria, impossible to play this song.
Maybe in slow 3 tone songs or ambient songs.

In short, avoid this pedal

c
shame about that monphonic thing
chibbles 30.08.2024
its great. has a bunch of cool, useable sounds. decent quality throughout, build is solid and chunky feeling. love the buttons, love the knobs. the FX are all high quality.

downsides are the monophonic. it gets confused *very easily*. It will try to process fretclank and finger noises. lots of cut off. lots of jankyness. but it does have that certain X factor that just clicks somehow. i like it despite its very obvious flaws

for the money its a great tool to have, but if you are looking for the next G5 this aint it.

Nice sound, but not really easy to use
Bambinainnero 29.01.2020
The presets effects are really really cool, but I find it not suitable for quick playing. Maybe I still have to dig more into it. So far I've just been messing around with it, by myself.

Since it is a mono synth it's not suitable for chords and you have to be very careful about resonance. The SENS control knob adjusts the responce to your playing, but I always feel some latency between my playing and the output. I really really appreciate the DRY control, which control the volume of your uneffected signal, and I have to say the the synth volume is always pretty loud-

I still have to look more into the CTRL knob, which affects different features depending on the effect.

Above all I think it is a good quality synth for the price, and I'm pretty curious about using it with an ebow.

Not bad not terrible
elDot 01.09.2024
If you are a professional bass player you will get disappointed in seconds. The others will find a somewhat useful digital synthesiser to play with or enhance a composition.
Note detection is frustrating sometimes.

At times glitchy
Zero the Hero 18.11.2020
It's a very funny toy with a lot of sounds and flexible. At its best with an expression pedal.

Tracking is not accurate and or glitchy (in a bad way) if you don't play accurate. Staccato is better than legato.

This synth is AWESOME
xHAVEANICEDAYx 10.09.2024
Great synth pedal. Its only drawback is that it requires an expression pedal to fully utilize the functionality. But even without expression, the pedal produces a very high-quality sound.

Great Synth
Bill G 13.01.2021
A well-built, sturdy pedal. There are a lot of great sounds in there. The preset function is extremely useful. There is only one minor con, you might have to adjust your playing a little bit for the tracking. Not a big deal though, that is pretty standard with most synth pedals. A must-have for synth bass enthusiasts!

Just great
UncleMatt 16.06.2020
By far the best bass synth I've ever tried. Tracking is really good as well as sounds.
If you're looking for this kind of sound, this is a must-have.
Very well built and robust.
