Electro-Harmonix Superego+ Synth Engine / Multi-Effects Pedal

What is the Electro-Harmonix Superego Plus Synth Pedal?
The Electro-Harmonix Superego Plus Synth Engine is a highly versatile effects pedal that transforms the sound of your guitar. Designed for players looking to create unique, synth-like tones, this pedal offers an expanded feature set over its predecessor. With its ability to sustain notes and chords indefinitely, the Superego Plus helps guitarists craft lush, ambient soundscapes that range from subtle pads to surreal, ethereal tones. The pedal is loaded with 11 onboard effects, all of which can be toggled on or off independently, giving you more control over your sound than ever before. With the option to add effects via an expression pedal, you'll be able to tailor the pedal’s performance to fit any musical style.

Explore the 3 Operation Modes for Dynamic Sound
One of the most powerful features of the Superego Plus is its three distinct operation modes: Momentary, Latch, and Auto. Momentary mode is perfect for adding a brief, dramatic note sustain during solos or dynamic phrases. Simply press the footswitch, and the sound will hold until you release it. Latch mode is ideal for layering sound. This mode allows you to sustain any note or chord as long as the footswitch is held down, letting you build ambient layers that you can play over in real-time. The Auto mode transforms your guitar signal, creating new, synth-inspired tones as soon as you start playing, offering a completely unique and experimental approach to performance.

11 Onboard Effects for Infinite Sound Design Possibilities
The Superego Plus features 11 footswitchable onboard effects that can be individually controlled with the Rate and Depth knobs. These effects include classic modulation tones like tremolo, phaser, and filter, which can be used to create everything from subtle nuances to extreme sonic experimentation. The wide range of effects available allows you to tailor the sound to fit virtually any genre or style. Whether you're looking for the ambient feel of delay or want to experiment with a thick flange sound, the Superego Plus provides endless possibilities for expanding your sonic palette.

Controllable Glissando Adds Fluid Movement to Your Sound
For musicians looking to push their creativity even further, the Superego Plus includes controllable glissando. This feature lets you glide smoothly between notes, creating a fluid, synth-like sliding effect that’s perfect for adding drama to solos or chord progressions. Whether you're playing single notes or complex chords, the glissando control enhances the overall expressiveness of your performance, offering a more dynamic way to manipulate your sound.

Effects Loop Lets You Expand Your Sound with Additional Pedals
The built-in effects loop on the Superego Plus is a standout feature that allows you to add external effects pedals to the signal path. By inserting modulation, distortion, or time-based effects, you can further shape the sound of the pedal, processing only the wet signal created by the Superego’s synthesis. This gives you the ability to stack effects, creating complex, layered sounds that would otherwise be impossible with a standard pedal setup. Whether you're adding a custom delay or introducing unique modulation effects, the possibilities are virtually limitless.

Infinite Sustain for Uninterrupted Soundscapes
One of the core features of the Electro-Harmonix Superego Plus is its infinite sustain. This function allows you to create continuous sound beds, holding notes or chords indefinitely. The sustain function is perfect for creating atmospheric soundscapes, ambient backdrops, or even experimental tones that feel alive and evolving. With the press of a footswitch, your guitar’s sound can persist, giving you the time and space to explore new sonic territories without worrying about your sound fading away.

Layer and Loop Your Guitar Sounds with Latch Mode
Another exciting aspect of the Superego Plus is its Latch mode. This mode enables you to layer your guitar sounds by sustaining notes or chords and then playing over them. Latch mode makes it easy to build complex musical layers during a performance, providing a rich, evolving sound that adds texture and depth. Whether you’re creating ambient loops or experimenting with multi-layered soundscapes, Latch mode ensures your creativity has no bounds.
