Manufacturer "Electro Harmonix"
Electro-Harmonix is a brand of New Sensor Corporation, New York, USA, which primarily manufactures effect devices for musicians that are suitable for both live and studio use. Originally an independent company, Electro-Harmonix was founded in 1968 by Mike Matthews, who is still the company's CEO today.
Most devices are intended for electric guitars, a few for electric basses, although most can be used with any sound signal (keyboard, microphone, etc.) without any problem.
A special feature of EHX is the predominance of analogue effect devices, although the trend has been towards digital sound processing for many years. Digitally working devices have clear advantages, especially with delay effect devices. e.g. B. no loss of sound and volume, very long delay times, loop functions. However, Electro-Harmonix continues to offer mainly analog delay effects units.
In addition, other standard effects are represented in the company's catalogue, from distortion to modulation effects (chorus, phase shifter, tremolo, vibrato, etc.) to synthesizers, which also work analogously. In recent years, new devices have also been added that work with electron tubes, which the New Sensor Corporation also manufactures. Another special feature is the creative naming of the individual devices: "Small Stone" (phaser), "The Worm" (vibrato, tremolo, wah phaser), "Bassballs" (envelope filter), "Big Muff" (fuzz), " Holy Grail” (Reverb), and much more
Popular musicians who created their individual sound with the help of the EHX effect devices helped the company to great fame. Nirvana guitarist Kurt Cobain, for example, used the "Small Clone" chorus for the main theme in "Come As You Are" as well as various solos. In addition, the musician Jack White, known from the White Stripes, often uses the "Polyphonic Octave Generator" or "POG" for short, which can be heard especially in the song Blue Orchid. The "Big Muff" distortion has been featured on tracks by Carlos Santana, grunge band Mudhoney and Tocotronic. As early as 1976, French musician Jean-Michel Jarre used a Small Stone phaser in combination with the Eminent 310 to create the floating sound on his album Oxygène.
