Electro Harmonix Pedals You Have Never Heard Of


In this week’s episode, we’re going to look at the absolutely, positively, most underrated Electro Harmonix pedals ever made. I’m a huge fan of this company — they have continually pushed innovation and circuitry since they first launched in the sixties — so I’m pretty jazzed.

  • Back in the early 80s, I had the Micro Synth and Deluxe Electric Mistress, and I thought I was Andy Summers without the chord knowledge.

  • Pitch Fork is probably the most versatile pitch shifter pedal I've ever had, and in a standard size box!

  • I love EHX, after looking through you guys' inventory of pedals there's clearly and EHX influence and I love it. I own a few pedals, the pocket Metal Muff being my favorite. When I first started playing guitar I had a cheap amp that didn't go high gain but when I plugged in a Metal Muff I instantly had a brutal sounding amp, since then I tend to buy EHX when Im in the market for pedals. They do everything right, from the sound, features, design, and build quality, their pedals are amazing. There are a handful of EHX pedals I'm still dying to get at the moment.

  • i saw an Attack Decay video about a month ago, and I find myself googling about it probably 5 times a week. i need to bite the bullet and snag a used one as soon as possible

  • I always wish I could afford these type of things and then I remember that I own an MS-20 and can patch a lot of them using the ESP module on there.

    The original mono version of the attack decay pedal can be emulated pretty easily on there. I think you can do it with the Behringer ARP 2600 clone as well

  • Wildflowers is my favorite Tom Petty album. It’s also one of my go-to recordings for testing audio equipment/speakers. Impeccable.

  • The attack decay sucked anout a hundred of hours out of my life bedore I sold it. Tooooooo maaaaany setttings. I loved it so much I hated it. Had to sell it. Timesuck. If you hate sinple pedals, buy it.

  • Ohhh, I feel so bad that I cannot get on with the Attack Decay. It keeps ending up in a drawer. I'm failing it somehow. I just feel that once I've done it's thing on a song I can't really use it again without repeating myself. OK I've done the What's The Frequency Kenneth solo; now what?

  • Attack delay and that toy thing(especially that) sound like something I could use.

    I hear hendrix sounds.
    What.

  • The book you show at 2:00 is NOT the Craig Anderton book “Electronic Projects For Musicians” that you referred to in the video, but “Guitar Electronics For Musicians” by Donald Brosnac!

    Reply
  • I'm assuming he has an og Double Muff by now, but if not, it feels somewhat cool to have a pedal that Josh does not. And yes, I do have the box. ????

    Reply
  • I feel like the EH micro synth is the mother of all EH effects and it does what many of their other pedals do

  • I wasn't going to subscribe. Then I watched more videos. Then you got me w/ the funny editing cut-a-ways. Now I'm subscribed forever. So this is how I live now I hope you're happy.

  • What is it with ehx? They are one of the leading companies in the business; do they need this kind of publicity? They surely don’t seem to be interested in congratulating any of their competitors. Nor feature anything else but their own stuff.

  • Doctor Q is a great pedal. It has such a rough envelope filter sound. The DOD, MU tron and other all sound nice and smooth. Doctor Q is the Rodney Dangerfield of filters.
    Double Muff is great. It's actually not a Muff fuzz but whatever the one before that was, times 2. It's super easy to mod too. And no filter, just 2 gain stages and a single/dual switch.
    Loved that Zipper thing gonna check that out.

  • The Record Time background track always reminds me of “Song Of The Wind” by Santana. I’d love for you to show the pedals you used on that lead guitar sound.
