Vintage Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer 1980s guitar synth pedal
$700
In perfect working order. Check pictures for condition. The lugs on the first 4 sliders have broken off but the sliders still work. 240v.
The 1980s version of Electro-Harmonix's venerable guitar synthesizer. Features mixable octaves, square wave, filters and adjustable volume envelopes for creating analog synth tones with your guitar. Some consider these vintage originals to have better sound and as such they trade at slightly higher prices.
"Certainly one of the most unusual devices made for guitarists is the Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer. An all-analog design, the Micro Synthesizer boasts the ability to provide the great older analog synthesizer sounds by using a guitar instead of a keyboard as the input device. It’s no wonder that newer bands such as Smashing Pumkins, Beck, and Moby have incorporated the Micro Synthesizer into their own palette of creative sonic tools."
Ten slider controls featuring four independent voices, one input and one output jack, effect on/off footswitch and power on/off switch. The first group of sliders are for the overall "mix" of the voices, from the standard guitar tone, one octave and two octave below sliders, and a square wave slider that provides the distorted "edge." Also the attack time, the frequency center of the sweep range, how far the sweep range goes and how quickly the sweep occurs.
One of the coolest parts of the vintage Micro Synthesizer is the input control on the bottom of the pedal that you can access via a small screwdriver. This allows you to crank the input to really get the pedal to react over the top.
The Micro Synthesizer offers the great "warm and milky" analog sweeping sounds of the past.
The reissues don’t hold a candle to the vintage ones when it comes to sound.
