Where there were only three on the original Superego, this time there are five operating Modes. The key to understanding and using the Superego+ is getting to know the Modes.The Superego+ is fully polyphonic like the original Superego, and tracking is excellent, with no appreciable delays, latency issues or other weirdness.Input impedance is 2.2 M ohm (this figure is the same for both the input jack and the effects loop Return jack), while the output impedance (and the impedance of the effects loop Send jack) is 500 ohm. Input and output jacks are side-mounted, along with the effects loop jacks and a pair of external control jacks - we'll cover all of those momentarily.The industry-standard 2.1mm center-negative power jack is located at the top / front of the pedal. Power is provided from an included 9.6V 200 mA DC power supply.It is neat and clean, and there are no user-adjustable switches, trimpots or jumpers inside, so there's really no need to open the pedal. Internal construction uses surface mount components.The lettering is white, making it easy to see. It is painted white, with a primarily black-colored top. Right off the bat you'll notice the enclosure is larger, measuring 4.75" W x 4" D x 2.25" H.The new Superego+ has all of the capabilities of the original Superego and can do everything its predecessor can, but it also has several new features that expand its capabilities even further.Rather than rehash all of the features from the original Superego again, we'll give them a brief overview (you can check out the original review for a refresher on the fundamentals) and focus more on what's new in the Superego+. Some readers may recall my review of the original EHX Superego - in case you missed it, here's a link. It gives you infinite sustain and the ability to layer sounds, and also creates glissandos and other interesting effects and new synth-like timbres that can be layered under your live playing. The polyphonic Superego (as well as the new Superego+) isn't just for electric guitar - it works great with guitars, bass, keyboards - try whatever you have laying around with it and see what happens. Part sampler, part looper and part infinite sustainer, the synthy, atmospheric and sustaining sounds initially popularized by Electro-Harmonix's Freeze pedal (and improved upon with their original Superego pedal) have been a big hit, especially with musicians who are looking for new sounds. Electro Harmonix Superego+ Synth Engine / Multi-Effectīelieve it or not, more 'ego may be exactly what you need!
