From the official website page:
"E7 can transform your guitar into a typical electronic synthesizer, without the need for special pickups or instrument modifications. It is named as E7, for its seven different MOOER custom synthesizer tones. Each tone with an individual arpeggiator, high/low frequency cut, attack, speed function, allow users to shape the tone in their mind easily, explore the horizon of tone with the E7."
And I might add that it's very good fun!

This is the story of my evening so far: 1. Unbox E7. A task in itself. 2. Have merry fun with first 5 modes 3. tweak mode 6 to sound like an old Commodore 64. 4. Play "Stairway to Heaven" as on old Commodore 64 5. Laugh my ass off. Do it again, and again. and again. 6. Pandemonium ensues in the form of an angry wife demanding I stop making that unholy racket 7. Stop making unholy racket but decide it was totally worth it and vow to do so at next opportunity. Thank you, E7, for briefly making me 19 again.

The issue I have with these pedals (like the SY-1 etc) are the fuzz voices. It’s easy to get loads of rich overdrive sounds from a decent FX unit (e.g. Zoom) but cleaner sweeter synth sounds are impossible and this is where I think synth pedals should go for. Excellent demo vid by the way :-)

@darwinsaye 2 жыл бұрын

Synth VCOs create wave forms such as saw, square, and triangle. These pedals use saw or square waves ( the fuzz sounds you mentioned), but usually do not do the triangle (which makes the "sweeter" synth sounds) because the triangle is very close to the natural sound of a clean guitar (which is a sine wave, and similar sounding to the triangle). The reason saws and square waves are used is because their harmonics make the other synth effects like resonant filters stand out more. Filters just sound kind of like a wah pedal on a clean guitar signal, rather than like the classic synth sounds. If you want the sweeter sounds I would recommend you try using the clean guitar signal (sine wave) through the synth pedal effects like the filters, LFO and envelope, however this will sound less "synthy" and just sound like you are running the guitar clean into a wah, vibrato, and slow attack effects.

I Like Mooer but for Synth I'll go Roland and Boss.Boss has a pretty usable pedal out for about 2 bills U.S. and then my new favorite Earthquaker Devices, Carolina, etc. Some great stuff out there for sure but it get's pricey and Mooer and NUX are proving to be out to make some (or attempt to) affordable alternatives. Fun stuff.

I used to hate bands that had keyboards, but now I love a lot of it. I mean look at Bucketheads album w/Claypooland Bootsy Collins. That was great stuff.I'm building my first studio and have been looking at Midi-controllers,and ones with Synth capabilities and now I'm looking at 66 key powerhouses. It's Hellishly expensive and with all I do with Guitar and this studio I don't do things half way. I don't think I can afford both. I guess you just have to build your Synth one piece at a time just like everything else unless you're rich. What is the most capable Midi-controller Synth under 1000 USD and 500 USD you would recommend ?

@@teriakamoto most keyboard synths have midi and usb. So you can use them as midi keyboards for your pc vsts if you want to. Luckily for us, we are living in the age of affordable synths. You can get a lot of them under 1k brand new. I own a Novation Ultranova and a Behringer Deepmind 12. Behringer has released some amazing stuff for peanuts. Model D, Neutron, Pro 1, even the Crave (a moog 32 clone) are awesome. ASM has just released an affordable synth with poly after touch called Hydrasynth. A beast.

There's a great review of a Boss SY-1 called something like "Boss Sy1 - No blues licks". You need to watch it. There's something truly pointless about a review where you take something that's designed to do X and spend the whole time doing Y with it. "It's polyphonic!" *Plays only single-note solos* "It's got a slow attack knob." *Doesn't play anything ambient or polyphonic that would show how well it works or not." "It's got different modes". *Plays exactly the same dad-blues licks as fast as he can over every mode, even the ones with filters that are meant to show off a sustained note or chord*
