Pedals
I never looked much at Sound Effects Processors in pedal form, since they are usually developed for guitar players. Until I found out that the famous Jean Michel Jarre sound that I loved so much from his Oxygene and Equinoxe album actually came from an Eminent 310 Organ String Synthesizer ran through an Electro Harmonix guitar pedal. This is the pedal that Jarre used the most. It is called the EXH Smallstone. If you run your Eminent 310 through this and add a little delay and reverb you will sound just like that. I had great fun with it so far, but after that I started looking for more interesting pedals as well. And I can tell you there are a lot of them out there :) Another very nice one I found was the Boss CE-1 Chorus. Man that chorus sounds so nice :) I really use it a lot on bass sounds that need to mellow down a bit.
Also the Moog Music company makes some very nice Mooger Frooger pedals. I actually have three of them that you can see in the picture on the right. From left to right they are: The MF-104Z Analog Delay, the MF-105 Murf and the MF-103 Analog 12 Stage Phaser. They are very nice. I use them a lot with my modular setup. Especially the Murf is special. It has 8 resonant band pass filters with a build in sequencer that you can use to animate your sound. It has some nice rhythmic patterns that you choose from.
And here are two more Electro Harmonix pedals. On the left is the famous Electric Mistress that Jean Michel Jarre also used on the same albums as the Smallstone. It is much more subtle though. And then there is the EHX Poly Chorus. A very nice chorus and the one I got is actually a stereo unit, while most of the pedals are mono. Well all in all these pedals are great fun, you can easily pick them up and put them in line of a signal path of any synthesizer in stead of routing signal through them as send and returns from the PC. And next to that you can also bring them easily to meetings or concerts.
