How to Choose Effect Pedals for Your Synth — Daniel Fisher

Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater’s mad scientist of sonic aberration, explains how to choose effect pedals to use with synths and demonstrates why he considers these some of the best effects pedals for synthesizers. They were chosen for their sounds, versatility, and special features, as well as important considerations such as stereo ins and outs, battery and adapter powering, size and weight, and a high performance/price ratio.

The effects are applied to a Korg minilogue Polyphonic Analogue Synthesizer with a very simple setting of just a Sawtooth wave. Each effect is demonstrated separately, and then all of them are used simultaneously.
