Transform Your Bass into a Fat-sounding Monosynth

The Electro-Harmonix Bass Mono Synth converts your electric bass guitar into a fat-sounding monosynth without instrument modifications, special pickups, or MIDI. There are 11 synth types to choose from, and there’s plenty of room for extra tweakability. And after you dial in a sound you like, you can save it as one of 11 user presets. Beyond that, you get an expression pedal input for real-time parameter manipulation. There’s an endless array of great bass synth sounds lurking within the Bass Mono Synth’s rugged chassis — what will you create?

Plenty of room for extra tweakability

There are so many cool sounds that you can dial in with EHX’s Bass Mono Synth pedal. You get 11 great-sounding synthesizers to start from. The Sensitivity control adjusts how your playing dynamics trigger the synthesizer, allowing you to fine-tune the pedal’s response to your rig and playing style. From there, you can adjust a key parameter for each of the 11 synth types with the Control knob. And — if you’re still hungering for more — you can use the Bass Mono Synth’s Expression input to gain real-time control over an entirely different parameter. Beyond that, you can create, save, and recall 11 user presets, one for each of the 11 synth sounds. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the Bass Mono Synth’s inspiring combination of intuitive operation and profound tweakability.

11 Synth Types to Choose From:

  • Growl
  • Wub
  • Unison
  • Twin
  • Spectre
  • Oblivion
  • Laser
  • X-Fade
  • Acid
  • Cosmic
  • Sub

“From lush, warm sounds to sharp, percussive stabs, the Bass Mono Synth puts a collection of cool bass synths at your fingertips.”Mike Matthews, EHX Founder

Simplisity at its best

I've been shopping with synth pedal for quite a while now. I did bought the Boss SY-5 it was an awesome sound synth but its hard to get this pedal close to the music I play. So I gave a shot on this mono synth after watching many demo in youtube and it is right on what I'm longing. Perfect pedal for me.

The Bass Mono Synth rocks!

I love the Bass Mono Synth! I own several synth pedals. The bass Mono Synth is limited to one note (it is the Bass "Mono" Synth after all), but it's still the pedal that stays on my board because is sounds great and the sounds are usable/musical.
Rated 5/5

Performs as described

This neat little pedal gave me the "just right" sound for covering Stevie Wonder tunes using my bass guitar. It will take patience to tighten up your plucking style and avoid playing multiple notes at same time; since this is a "mono" designed unit. Overall, it does what I wanted it to do.
Rated 5/5

Great piece of equipment

Had to lug around a line 6 low down amp just because of the synth on it. Not anymore. This pedal really gives you the range in synth you need...
Rated 5/5

Completely Satisfied

Holy Moly Sally! Does the trick and more. I"m a pedal nerd over an instrument player person "musician". This pedal actually makes me want to play and experiment on the fret board. Playing with the Synth knob between notes really just satisfies my brain.

I"m sure there are more basic uses, but I like the extreme options on this unit. A must purchase for anybody wanting to push the envelope. Can"t say enough about Drew Foster and the customer service he provides!
