ehx Superego Synth Engine Pedal Demo - Daniel Fisher

Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater's Director of Product Optimization and synth guru, shows off the ehx Superego synth engine. This unique pedal, in typical ehx fashion, has to be heard to be understood, and Daniel puts it through a rigorous test. The Superego combines the infinite looping sound of the ehx Freeze pedal, with multiple layers of "Freeze", a glissando effect that lets you "slide" between frozen notesplus a glissando effect (from the ehx HOG), and an effects loop to warp the processed sound even further.
The Superego is using its Send/Return to feed an ehx Stereo Polychorus, and then everything goes through an ehx Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai, which Daniel demonstrates with dual Fender Super Champ X2 amplifiers. The keyboard is Korg's microSTATION.

Depends on what kind of sound you want to achieve, but one way would be to put either the Flashback or the Hall of Fame at the end of your pedal chain, then connect the stereo outputs to your two amplifiers. You could also use one amp for dry guitar and the other amp for delay, reverb, and pog. Put your pog before the delay and reverb - send the dry out of the pog to one amp, and send the effect output of the pog to the rest of your pedals and then to the other amplifier. Thanks for watching!

Very good bud - there are sooooo many poor quality demo's out there and this is still one of the best - this is a gem. Thank you. Leave it to Sweetwater (and Daniel) to do it right.

I dont own one yet unfortunately, but I have played around with one and it is simply an amazing tone tool. There are literally limitless tonal avenues to explore with the Superego. A must have for those who want to push the boundaries. Great demo considering it barely sratches the surface of what this sweet baby does. Thank you!

I already own the pedal, but I was looking for more info on how to use it. I hadn’t thought of using the effect loop that way, thanks! I always find 1000 things to do with a pedal then I find out it does 100000 (or it was only supposed to do 10). The superego is a good one. Even if you use it sparingly it works well to add subtle rainbow texture. As fun as it is, it doesn’t have to sound like you’re having lunch with Carlos Castaneda.

Hey, guys, if you like eh stuff as much as me, you GOTTA try there tube eq!! AMAZING! Can't believe more folks aren't aware of it's potential, makes ANY amp sound better, beefier,punchier, more defined, try it through your effects loop, or straight through with a analogue ds pedal for instance, you'll REALLY here the difference! Also, great for bass and recording, really warms things up.

Is this the same as a POG or other guitar synths? Is this actually a full on guitar synth or does it just do some of the stuff a synth does? Asking because I dont want to get different pedals that do the same thing..I want to get as few as possible that do very different things.. to save money and aggravation of course..

@joshuagranados94 7 жыл бұрын

Does the FX loop affect JUST the superego effect or the DRY signal being sent to the Superego? For example, if i have the ego after my drive section but have a pitch and a reverb pedal in the ego's loop, will my drives also be affected with the pitch and reverb or just the layer that the ego will add to my drive signal? Thanks!

@sweetwater 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Joshua, Check out 1:44 where I talk about how the FX Loop only affects the SuperEgo. Effects in the FX Loop will not affect the dry signal. Thanks for watching!

@sweetwater 7 жыл бұрын

Hi darrelbigdaddywhite, no way around it, the Super Ego's slow glissando is an eerie sounding effect. But the GLISS time is adjustable all the way to zero, so you can use it more as a freeze pedal, which won't sound as eerie, even in the middle of Lake Erie ;-) Thanks for watching!

Is there a trick to do 0 dry signal if the pedal is in an effects loop? More of a mixer question I guess but I want to get that swelling from silence sound.

@sweetwater 5 жыл бұрын

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out about the Superego. Setting the "Dry" knob to 0 will kill the dry signal, this will work whether the pedal is in an effects loop or not. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question... give me a ring, I'd love to help out! Cheers, Miles Patterson, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800)-222-4700 ext. 1266, miles_patterson@sweetwater.com

@TPsynth 5 жыл бұрын

@@sweetwater Thanks for the reply. I'm using synths through a boss bx8 mixer effects send and yes the effects return is 0 dry signal(when dry knob at zero) but my mixer is still outputting the dry signal. It may just be the way this mixer is set up but I can't find a way to send a channel to effects send wirhout having that channels fader up which of course adds the dry signal to the overall mix. UPDATE figured it out, my mixer sends are post fader so I will have to direct route into superego to get that effect until I can afford a more flexible mixer.

@Zillatoons 10 жыл бұрын

When you bypass the Superego, do you have access to the effects in the SE loop?

Nope, bypassing the Superego also bypasses the FX loop. Thanks for watching!

Dude this isnt stacking. Except for the delay. Just toss any chorus or modulation effect in the loop and then use the delay after the output. Any delay should be fine.
