As with the other '9' series pedals it's probably got about 50% usable sounds for me. Also it seems to suffer from the same trebly harshness in the oscillators that the Boss SY300 has. Nonetheless I will probably have to try it out!

Not enough control over the sounds. I think I'd rather save up for a sy300

Like with the rest of the 9-series, I can tell what sound they're trying to recreate, but they all sound a bit shit in the demo. I'm sure it would be awesome to run into other effects though.

Yes, that's the way--just a little fuzzy od and eq post 9 series can make a big difference; start throwing on filters, adsr, Polytope it--it gets pretty nice, with the Mel9, at least.

I have the SY300 the cure for the harshness is putting one of the fx blocks after the oscillators and using the EQ block.
You can tune the tones quick and easy that way.

Why the fuck doesn't EHX come out with a non shitty standalone pedal or a multi unit? What is wrong with them??

BTW is the Boss Sy300 not worth it??

How much do you like programming? Every single one of the stock presets is ass.

But then you either have to use 3 of the 4 effects blocks on eqing the nastiness out of the oscillators, or you combine all three into one eq and lose the ability to add effects to each oscillator individually. Having a different effect on each oscillator was a big part of the appeal for me.
