Electro Harmonix Superego Plus

I got this for the freeze function and figured, why get a basic freeze (EHX Ego) when you can add some synth functions. It does these things excellently, making tonally rich backgrounds for playing over. The effects are interesting too - for example you can use the pitch shifter to make your freeze arpeggiate or freak out. What really sold me though is the fact that in effects mode, you can access a whole bunch of EhX‘s best effects (electric lady flange, chorus, echo, delay, phaser, tremolo, pitch shift, filter) in one place. A perfect pedal to always have plugged in so you have access to effects that maybe aren’t your ideal, but good enough for most uses. Add an expression pedal to get even more dynamics in the freeze or the effects.

One year on - this thing stays on my board. It is easy to dial in both synth tones and standard effects sounds.

I bought this pedal after seeing it was on Turnover's pedalboard and seeing some videos about it on youtube. But honestly this pedal is capable of way more.
You can do great pads with the latch mode.
But if you want some kind of reverb type effect, the auto mode can provide that as well, with mads that fade in and fade out as you want.
Honestly the sounds you can get with this are incredible for more ambient parts.
And all the effects are all usable on their own if you ever need them

Only negative point I have : the pads can get a bit too bright and harsh, but you can always add the filter to counter that (it is included in the effects of the pedal)
