troof

the only time i like certain bass synth pedals is when using them on guitar to make glitchy computer garble noises. using them for the intended function is usually disappointing.

Jwar, you try the Great Divide? That seems to be one above the rest.

The whole point of using a synth for bass is that it is steady and super powerful and controllable. Trying to make a synth sound like an electric bass is just as foul. I guess I'm more of a Doom style synthesist, when it comes to the low end.

Yes! This is exactly what I mean!

I still want a Gears though....soooo...totally getting one of those. lol
Dibs on the flip cause you know you're gonna flip it.

The best bass guitar "synth bass" set-up I ever had was 3 MoogerFoogers , the Moog MP-201 (for that CV control), an Infanem SVD, Modfactor and PitchFactor.

It was gnarly but had a lot of movement, so good.
