I have tried combining it with boost pedals at the pre/post stage, with varied results. The pedal has no general volume boost available, which potentially renders the pedal unsuitable for live situations. In most of the live situations I'm in, I need to have a drastic rise in volume when switching from rhythm to solos.
The pedal essentially works on unity-gain levels. There is however one drawback in the current design. It'll keep you aware of your legato technique and phrasing, which can only expand your musicality. You will have to change your playing to adapt to this pedal, which is a good thing. It has some really cool features that allow you to compete with or completely replace the lame keyboardist in your band -) Think the solo on Queen's "I Want To Break Free" - it can easily be replicated with the MicroSynth! And although it is ideal to have an amp set up that is capable of responding to the frequencies it generates, it will still sound great in smaller amps and less-than-ideal set ups. I have always loved this pedal from the time I first played the predecessor version way back in the day. The dimensions are 143 x 119 x 60 mm (5.6 x 4.7 x 2.4 inches) - for some reason it was impossible to find the actual pedal's dimensions listed anywhere online! It came with its own power supply, but with the 9 V negative-center DC setting, I was able to daisy-chain it to the power supply of my other pedals without any problem. Ideally I’d like to get this as close to original condition internally.įYI the electronics aren’t screwed in as I was preparing to take the following photo.Kudos to Electro Harmonix for reducing the physical size in this new version. I may just gorilla glue pickguard material vertically if the other two parts work and there’s no replacement parts in sight. I saw a few on Ebay and it’ll be a $10 investment for the on/off switch and power plug. If anyone knows any websites that sell these parts let me know. I read these switches are the same as the Fender Jazzmaster switches. The off switch is useless in its current state. Can I buy a replacement 2.1mm power jack (ala Boss) and rewire it for that plug with no issues? Boss power supplies are easier to find than a vintage EH power supply (the GC guy that the new EH pedal use the standard boss pedal barrel power supplies). The closest thing was the adapter for the Line 6 pedals which have a smaller barrel, but it would not power up completely (might be an issue with the on/off switch).
As of now Guitar Center does not a functioning power supply that will fit in the hole. I read that the power input should not be daisy-chained via one-spot pedal chains. Naturally I’ll need 10 of them (or at least 9).

Can I buy replacement sliders (the upside down T-shaped item you physically move)? I’d be interested to find out even if this means removing the entire part from the PC board if that part is available? The part number is 442NA4H104CDN 9915. So I have a few questions I’m hoping that the forum can help me with: As I am playing bass in another project I’d like to be able to get this pedal working again.
It’s got all but one slider snapped off and the on/off switch is lossey-goosey (if you shake the pedal left to right the switch moves accordingly). It was abandoned by a former inhabitant of the practice space since it is in a “broken” state. I found a EHX Micro Synth pedal under our drummer’s drum riser.
