Al Krow Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Looks interesting. Gets compared quite a lot to the Boss SY-1 in this review: Guitar Pedal X - GPX Blog - Subdecay Releases its 3rd Guitar Synth Pedal - the M3 Monophonic 3 Oscillator Guitar Synth Be interesting to understand further how those two particular pedals compare and contrast.

It sounds cool. I like those type of synth pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit I was singularly disappointed with the Digitech Dirty Robot - very very limited range of sounds and the ones it could do weren't particularly usable.

I don't mind the Dirty Robot and actually preferred it to their Bass Synth Wah that everyone seems to love. I found it more versatile. It's not as good as the Pigtronix though. I'm interested to try out the Subdecay to see how it compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to get mixed reviews and never really took off in the way the FI, C4 and SY-1 pedals did. If you do end up getting the Subdecay - I'd definitely be very interested in getting your thoughts on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot people like the amount of editing available in pedals like the C4 or Future Impact but that's what kind of puts me off buying them, even though they sound great.

Well you're not going to get any argument from me on that last point! And exactly is why I went for the SY-1 over both the C4 and FI, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution to that is to just download patches you like and/or just adjust them from the pedal panel (9 parameters each with 9 possible coarse values in the case of the FI). There’s loads of mileage right there. You could easily get by without ever having to do any tweaking other than setting input level and output volume on the top panel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still involves hooking it up to a computer or app though. I like to just turn knobs and find sounds that way. I know they sound great, but I don't particularly enjoy working with computers. I've only just recently bought a DAW setup because I was missing out on some work. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool then. I thought it only had a few presets, like the Deep Impact. Now to find one at a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
