Figured I’d start a discussion on favorite effects on synths. It’s a ton of fun to run SQ-80 through the Hologram Microcosm using its granular function. The built in reverb really smears the grain clouds creating a dope ambience.

How are y’all using your effects? Good combo’s?

    I was a guitarist before I got into synths (unless you count the SK-1 I grew up with) so I’ve got quite a few pedals lying around. I run a lot of things through Strymon Mobius - Boss DD-500 - Neunaber Immerse Mki. My favorite to do this with is probably the MEGAfm since it has no onboard effects and really benefits from them.

    I also crank my Neutron through a WMD Geiger Counter.

      The strymon stuff is amazing! I’ll have to look it up. I plan to eventually get a MicroFreak <3 I’d love to hear your playing.

          I understand the sentiment about using your jams for mental health. It helps me a lot. I tend to just quickly load up a daw to capture a sample when a sweet spot is reached but I don’t do much with them. Sometimes it’s nice when I’m bored to go through my projects and hear the memories of how much fun I was having that day :)
