Superego Plus Synth Engine with Effects Review

Superego+

This pedal is awesome! I was able to get it up and running right away. The manual had some recommendations for sound effects which helped my comfort level. The manual was a little thin - only 12 pages but I found plenty of detailed YouTube video demos and reviews that helped me find amazing sounds. Sweetwater service was outstanding!

Superego Plus - it can have 22 presets too

I haven't gotten my pedal yet to verify it, but by thinking a little "out of the box", it looks like you can have as many as 22 preset memories in the Superego Plus - two presets for each EFFECT channel. If the owners manual is correct, then by using the EXPRESSION pedal's "SNAPSHOT" feature, a "HEEL DOWN" snapshot [1] saves the setting levels of the seven control knobs, and the… read more "TOE DOWN" snapshot [2] will capture and save a whole different set of setting levels on the seven control knobs = 2 saved memory preset positions. This feature was intended as a way for the expression pedal to "SWEEP" between to different level settings on each EFFECT, but this ALSO means that you can use the expression pedal as a "HEEL DOWN" [a] and "TOE DOWN"[b] "A/B switch" to go between TWO different saved settings on all 11 EFFECTS which equals a total of 22 presets. - I love the idea of having saved favorite settings in this unit!! But I will verify and edit this review when I know for sure ;-) LOVE THIS UNIT - SOOOO expressive for LIVE worship and church music applications, and makes almost infinite pallet for ethereal and layering sounds! 5 STARS * * * * *

Just buy it if ambient and weird is your thing.

Read the other reviews for the EHX Superego (both versions), then buy the one that suits you. I just got it and I'm enthralled buy only my small introduction into what it can do. Perfect for ambient, space, drone, but definitely any musical genre where controllable sustained harmonies and notes are desirable. For me, it sits perfectly in with the rest of my effects. it's a granular… read more sampler and synthesizer, and it does it well. Getting the Plus (with FX) is the perfect companion to my Eventide H9, which is mostly stuck to one effect at a time, so the extra modulation options are welcome, as well as the nice synth engine. I can tell one could get very skillful using this device. It really does open thing up for guitarists, though it could work with any tonal instrument. Even voice! i got a MiniBrute Impact at the same time, but I've been so busy with the Superego I haven't had time to mess around on it much.

Subtle and Weird

Really like EHX pedals - both their normal and their weird pedals. I have the Blurst and really like what it offers - you can use it to subtly color your bass or guitar or to do something outrageous. The Superego Plus is of the same sort - from subtle to weird. The design is really well thought-out and has a huge range of parameters to play with, will take me months to experiment… read more with the full range of sounds this pedal offers; however, it is real easy to huge, can start doing cool things right out of the box. Was able to lay-down a background sound, play over it, change the background sound and just keep playing on and on. Included effects on the right side of the pedal are good and offer a wide range of options. The external effects loop is really cool, allows you to really get creative with your sound. Want to mention Chris Barry of Sweetwater - best customer service I have ever experienced: kind, knows his stuff, gets things done very quickly, and always done correctly. Thanks for all of your help Chris.
