Electro-Harmonix Micro Synth (Original Version)

thumbnails | text

The EHX Micro Synth is designed to sound like a guitar synthesizer without requiring a special guitar synth pickup, and replicates "fat analog synth" sounds. It has 10 sliders for various settings, including low/med/high octave, square wave, attack delay, and filter sweep settings. This was used in the end of Cherub Rock with an old brown Maestro Fuzz tone.
