DESCRIPTION

Step into a world of sonic experimentation with the Electro-Harmonix Superego Synth Engine, a revolutionary polyphonic effects pedal that reimagines the sample-and-hold concept and transforms your guitar or keyboard into a limitless sound generator. Whether you're sculpting sweeping glissandos, crafting lush ambient drones, or mimicking the oscillating tones of analog synthesizers, the Superego pushes creative boundaries far beyond traditional effects.

This pedal doesn't just capture your sound — it sustains, reshapes, and reimagines it. With Auto mode, it detects and freezes chords and notes on the fly, allowing seamless transitions between musical ideas without lifting a finger. Dial in the Gliss control to create smooth, fluid shifts in pitch for cinematic swells or dreamy trails between notes.

Want infinite sustain? No problem. The Superego can hold notes or entire chords indefinitely, opening the door to endless layering, textural backdrops, and performance-enhancing ambient effects. The built-in effects loop gives you the ability to insert your favorite pedals directly into the wet signal path — perfect for inventing unique synth-style patches, modulation textures, or reverb-heavy atmospheres.

Activate Latch mode to layer multiple sustained sounds together, effectively stacking tones into evolving harmonic walls. Fine-tune the envelope with adjustable Attack and Decay controls for precise dynamic shaping — from punchy stabs to slow-building pads.

The Superego is more than just a pedal — it’s a gateway to sonic exploration, ideal for guitarists, synth players, ambient artists, and experimental musicians alike. Best of all, it includes a power adapter, so you’re ready to dive in right out of the box.

Indulge your guilty pleasures — and then invent some new ones.
