Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Superego+ synth
engine and multi-effect. Just like the original award-winning Superego, the
Superego+ excels at creating synth effects, ethereal layers, fluid glissandos,
infinite sustain and more.
But wait, kids, there's more! The Superego+ adds new mind-blowing features
such as: a Threshold control that reacts to your picking dynamics; separate
Attack and Decay controls; expression pedal input; and the optional ability to
control the pedal via an external footswitch. And to really extend the range of
the Superego, we've included 11 unique effects to help you explore even more
otherworldly soundscapes. Add additional effects through the effects loop for
even more craziness. Or, just use the effects alone as you would with any
standard multi-effect device.
Whether on stage or in the studio, if you're an ambient/drone specialist or just
looking for something a little new or different, relax your mind, set the controls
for the heart of the sun, and start crafting some unique and special sounds.
WARNING: Your SUPEREGO+ comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200BI
power supply (same as used by Boss
requires 140mA at 9VDC with a center-negative plug. Use of the wrong adapter or a plug
with the wrong polarity may damage your SUPEREGO+ and void the warranty.

GETTING STARTED: MODES Let’s begin our exploration of the Superego+ by learning about the five major functions you can select with the MODE footswitch. Each press and release of the MODE footswitch cycles through the following modes: MOMENT When set to MOMENT mode, the Superego+ freezes your signal at the moment you press and hold the BYPASS footswitch and continues to produce the frozen effect as long you hold down the footswitch. -
