Looks like there is word of the EHX gamechanger...

[Toonster]

I like my Bass Micro Synthesizer, one of my personal favourites.. I guess this one is digital though..

[Schlatte]

I'm pretty sure that you'll get some sort of pedalboard dock mount thing. See the black little knubble behind the DC-Jack... could be part of some sort of a mounting system...

Yeh thats what I was thinking but still... what a retarded idea

I can see this thing breaking patch cables all fuckin day

This.
Some sort of free floating in/out jacks for that thing... THAT would be revolutionary... but maybe they thought about that and made the jacks so they could turn
probably not.
Still.. stewpid thing is stewpid.

Someone on HC said the super ego might be the freeze gliss mode out of the HOG. I forgot the HOG existed...

Looks more like a cable retainer so your adapter plug doesn't get pulled out when you get some crazy foot motion going.

[Schlatte]

^true... I still think it's kind of strange... I mean.. how does it stay in place? Does it weight like 50 kilograms or does it "stick" to the floor.. and pedalboard mounting is still an issue IMO... I would be afraid to accidentally kick that thing and destroy all my patchcables...
But on the original topic- I think the SuperEgo might just be another pedal to the lines of the HOG, POG and Microsynth.... curious about the fx loop, tho... We shall see...

[TheOndrakGuy]

Looking at the SuperEgo again, I'm beginning to think it is something similar to the Glissando mode on the HOG, but more like the 'glide' feature on the Pigtronix Mothership. The 'speed/layer' knob seems like in auto, it controls the speed of the glissando and in latch mode, I'm not sure... layer the amount of freezes you can have on top of each other?
I'm guessing with dry and effect mix, you can use it as a pad behind your original playing or up front etc, with an effects loop to further meddle with the glissando'd effect.

All just guesswork pulled out my arse, but seems like it could be a rather funky little effect if the list price is correct rather than Mad Ape's.

[Teej212]

i think the super ego looks pretty promising. im excited to hear it and if it is the gliss mode i will be getting it for sure.

[McSpunckle]

If the "gliss" mode on that thing means they're finally breaking the HOG into modular bits... OMG best news ever.

[Scruffie]

A little birdie mentioned that the toggle is 3 way and the centre 'eye' position is manual control and the foot switch is momentary.

So I killed it for spreading rumors!

Hopefully it's true though... Freeze + Gliss x (One Small Enclosure)/(Effective Controls) = Scruffie Giz

[Scruffie]

SuperEgo Demo! It's Freeze & Gliss!

[Schlatte]

hrrrrmmmmm iinnnnterrresssttttiiiinnngggg... that dick of an engineer better tell me how to activate/deactivate the wah effect... and if it works with a g-sensor... just for the heck of it. dick.

[hazelwould]

HOLLLLLLYYYYYYYY SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Getting dat Super EGO

[Officer Bukowski]

That wah is actually much cooler than I expected. Not gonna lie.. I kinda want one. I wonder how it works on carpet?

[Seedy]

Damn, for a minute I thought that the superego would be like The FOG (Freeze Octave Generator) that I suggested on the EHX forums a year or so ago.

I'm desperate to use my freeze to create a bass note that I can play guitar through, almost like a moog taurus. I planned on getting an fx loop put in the freeze by axiom drift then buying a micropog, microsynth, PS5, or similar to dedicate to it. I'm playing fuzzbass/guitar in a two man band now and I need this nonexistent thing more than ever. The superego has the fx loop which is cool, but I'd still have to buy an octave pedal. Disappointed that the (still very cool) pedal doesn't fulfill the specific expectations that I alone have placed on this thing that I heard about a week ago.

If anyone wants to make the FOG for me in a single box, pm me.

But I don't know about the crying tone, what a gimmick. It still is just a wah, but more of hassle to keep rooted.

The whole time I was watching that video, my roommate was just saying "Play Voodoo Chile!". And then he did. We high fived.
