Synth pedals without envelope

Post by fldrvr »

Hey there: I like synth pedals! They sound pleasingly wacky. Are there any wherein you can totally dial out or bypass the envelope? The envelope part sometimes messes up (retriggers when I don't want it to, because I'm a shit player :facepalm: ) when playing live. I know the Behringer SYB clone can have the envelope dialed out. Any others?

BOSS SYB-5 (SYB-3 has always the filter decay, but you can turn it to the minimum position and it will be a very snappy envelope then that might do the trick)

i have no idea whether it fits what you want.
Yeah, I watched some of this, sounds pretty sweet for sure. Didn't hear anything about dialing out the envelope but it's maybe possible. Thanks!

That, or just set the filter start and stop points to the same value. It works.

Ehx microsynth if you set the start and stop frequency the same, snazzy fx mini ark has no filter, neither does the infanem second voice.
Zoom ms50g synth patch is also filter-less, you can set up a fixed filter after it if you like, and pitchshifter/harmonisers etc.

I want to pair this with a Micro Synth and a Dwarfcraft Gears for some post-apocalyptic grumbling chaos.

Noisebox can also make the envelope redundant with the sense thing.

I just love teh synthz :love:

Anyone on ILF got a Great Divide or a SY300 or Omikron? Would love to hear these in a non demo vid context, especially the SY300 i've heard a few seconds in one video that sounded like something from Endless Summer by Fennesz, the rest is all 80s throwback or super cheesey trance!

Nice list. I've got a Superego and i'm looking to further "synth-out" the sound of it. I put a Digitech Bass Synth Wah in the loop but I didn't like it. Really, the only problem was the envelope. This list is fantastic, thanks!

I'd forgotten about the Great Divide, that is a monster pedal for sure.

The Behringer BSY-600 can do that. If you turn the decay knob all the way up, the filter turns off completely.
