Electro-Harmonix Mono Synth Guitar Synthesizer Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Mono Synth Overview
The Electro-Harmonix Mono Synth is a versatile guitar synthesizer pedal that allows you to transform your guitar into vintage, monophonic synthesizer sounds. Packed with 11 synth emulations from the '70s and '80s, this pedal gives you a direct way to achieve iconic synth tones without needing special pickups, MIDI, or instrument modifications. It’s as simple as plugging your guitar in and dialing in your sound. Whether you’re aiming for thick bass tones or lush lead sounds, the Mono Synth offers an easy yet powerful way to expand your musical expression.

Vintage Monophonic Synth Sounds at Your Feet
With 11 different synth types, the Mono Synth pedal lets you explore a wide variety of vintage-inspired sounds. From the punchy bass tones reminiscent of "Superstition" to the stacked leads found in "Blue Orchid," this pedal delivers rich, classic synthesizer tones right at your feet. Whether you’re after something smooth like “Lair” or intense like “Blast,” you’ll find a synth sound that fits your needs. Plus, with the ability to save up to 11 user presets, you’ll be able to instantly recall your favorite tones during your performance or studio session, making it easy to stay inspired.

Real-Time Control and Versatile Parameters
The Mono Synth doesn’t just let you play synth sounds—it gives you total control over them. The Sensitivity knob lets you adjust how your dynamics influence the synth, ensuring that the pedal responds just the way you want it to, whether you're playing soft, subtle parts or blasting through intense leads. Additionally, the Control knob allows you to adjust a key parameter for each of the 11 synth types, giving you the ability to shape your tone to perfection. Whether you’re looking for a deep, evolving sound or a sharp, cutting tone, the Mono Synth offers extensive tonal flexibility.

Perfect Wet/Dry Balance with Dry and Synth Knobs
One of the standout features of the Mono Synth is the ability to mix your untouched guitar signal with the synthesized sound. The Dry and Synth knobs allow you to blend your clean signal with the wet synth sound, offering a more natural, organic feel without sacrificing the power of the synth effects. This blend control is essential for maintaining clarity in your playing while still achieving the rich, expressive tones that a synth can provide. You can adjust it to taste, whether you want a more natural guitar presence or a fully synthesized sound.

Expression Pedal Input for Dynamic Control
For players who want to take their synth sounds even further, the Mono Synth includes an Expression pedal input. By connecting an expression pedal (sold separately), you gain real-time control over an additional parameter of your choice. This feature adds a whole new layer of expressiveness to your performance, allowing you to manipulate sound in the moment, whether you’re controlling filter sweeps, modulation depth, or any other parameter you choose. The flexibility of real-time control makes the Mono Synth an even more powerful tool for live performances or studio work.

Create and Save Presets for Seamless Performance
Another standout feature of the Mono Synth is its ability to save and recall up to 11 user presets, one for each of the 11 synth sounds. This makes it easy to switch between different tones during a performance without wasting time tweaking knobs. Whether you’re jumping from bass-heavy sounds to soaring leads or switching between different vintage synth tones, the Mono Synth keeps your performance smooth and efficient. These preset capabilities make the pedal an ideal solution for musicians who need quick access to their sounds in both live and studio settings.
