From the company: The Superego+ springboards off the Superego’s ability to create synth effects, sound layers, glissandos, infinite sustain and more with the addition of a complete effects section featuring 11 effect types, an EXP input for effect parameter control plus an EXT jack for a three-button controller.
The Superego+ is equipped with the following effects: • DETUNE: pitch detune, EXP pedal controls pitch • DELAY: warm, analog sounding delay, feedback is preset, EXP controls delay time up to 2 seconds • ECHO: pristine digital delay, feedback is preset, EXP pedal controls delay time up to 2 seconds • FLANGE: Electric Mistress style w/filter matrix, rate and feedback.

The pedal’s user interface provides exceptional control and flexibility. The Superego+ is equipped with Dry, Effect, Attack, Decay, Threshold, Layer and Gliss knobs, plus Rate and Depth knobs for the Effects Section. Four foot-switchable Freeze modes: Moment, Sustain, Auto and Latch, plus a Live Effects mode where the dry signal is routed thru the built-in effects and the internal synth engine is disabled, are also included.
