![]() I could get sounds that worked for leads, and in the other modes I could 'sample and freeze' the a chord from a rhythm pattern. One of the most important things is that mentally you have to think of it almost as a separate instrument just triggered by your playing, and you get to decide how to trigger based upon the mode. any modulation can help make it breathe/undulate a little too. This will help make things more pad like. If you have any type of pitch shifter and a verb or delay, try that in the loop. Thinking that maybe a Zoom G3X alone might be enough instead of the 3 pedals I had (since the G3X has an expression pedal). I want it to have it's own effects to shape the sound (which I get with the MagicStomp in the loop). I do need to change some things around with this, because I don't want the sustained signal going through my dirt and modulation. If you're that interested, I can report those back later.īasically I was running the comp from my UE-405 into the SE (Eterna and MagicStomp, and volume pedal in the loop) then into (the rest of my board, which ends with) a Big Sky reverb (which helped blend the two sounds IMO). I had two knob settings (forgive me I don't have it infront of me), one worked on two of the modes, the other worked on the other. I discovered I could get sounds I liked in all 3 modes. Then I decided I wanted a little more control over the signal so added a Volume pedal in the loop right before the return so that I could mix in the sustained signal. Then I dropped my Magicstomp after the Eterna in the loop so that I could add trem, or phaser, or flanger, even more shifting, or dirt to the sustained signal. I dropped my Eterna in the loop and voila it came to life. I'm was after more pad-like sounds, and out of the box, it just doesn't do that IMO, it's overly "dry". I'm not sure what type of sounds you were hoping to get with it, but IMO chorus isn't enough. Like I said, yesterday that changed for me when I did some experimenting, leveraging some of the other pedals I had. But now I have to agree with VeryRedTomatoes. I know that the SE definitely didn't sound like I thought it would (not nearly as good as some of the clips I'd heard). I was where you are with mine, was about to sell mine. Ironically I just made a post about the SE over on Offsetguitars this morning. Tonewise- which I had a true bypass looper to test the signal with, all i've got is a Boss LS-2 (I need to run a test with that actually). I think I need to isolate the power better. Auto mode, which doesn't require you to hold the footswitch to apply the effect, just play through the Superego and it will transform whatever you play into an entirely new sound.The one thing I've noticed is a slight buzzing added to my signal (on or off). Use this mode to record a layer of sound to play over. Latch mode sustains anything you play while holding down the footswitch like Momentary mode, but continues sustaining until you turn the effect back off. Momentary mode means the effect is only active when you step on the footswitch, and returns to bypass operation when you lift your foot. All-analog circuitry and a built-in effects loop. Sustain a note or chord, then freeze it while soloing over it. ![]() Sustain chords for pad-like effects, or play synthesizer-like leads on your guitar. The Electro-Harmonix SuperEgo polyphonic synth engine guitar pedal is part synthesizer, part sustainer, and part sampler, allowing you to freeze your guitar sound and create layers of sustained sounds.
