Key Details
- Eleven Synth Voices: A diverse library of mono synth sounds including vintage styles and modern stacked voices.
- Precision Mixing: Dedicated DRY and SYNTH dials allow you to perfectly balance your natural guitar tone with the synthesized signal at the output.
- Dynamic Triggering: The SENS (Sensitivity) control lets you fine-tune how your playing dynamics trigger the synth, ensuring the pedal responds accurately to your specific guitar and picking style.
- Customizable Parameters: The CTRL knob provides a variable parameter for each of the eleven synth types, offering deep tweakability for every preset.
- User Presets: Create, save, and recall one custom user preset for each of the eleven synth sounds via the built-in Preset footswitch.
- Expressive Control: An integrated EXP input allows for real-time manipulation of synth parameters using an external expression pedal.
Use Cases
- Lead Performance: Use the soaring lead synth voices to cut through a dense mix during solos.
- Atmospheric Textures: Leverage the vintage emulations to add cinematic, electronic layers to ambient compositions.

- Live Sound Design: Use the EXP pedal input to sweep filters or modulate parameters dynamically during a live set.

For the best experience, adjust the SENS knob while playing your typical dynamics to ensure the synth triggers consistently across your preferred range of attack.
