Electro-Harmonix Effects Pedals

With over 40 years of history behind them, Electro-Harmonix effects pedals have contributed to some of music's all-time most iconic records. Called EHX for short, the company was founded by Mike Matthews in New York City back in 1968, around the time that effects pedals were starting to enter the mainstream. That got Electro-Harmonix in on the ground floor, and they've gone on to become synonymous with rock and roll. EHX has been a leading influence on the pedal industry since the mid to late-1970s, when they helped to pave the way in shaping effects pedals as we know them today. By creating the first stompbox that could deliver the power guitarists needed in an economical package, Electro-Harmonix broke new ground in introducing musicians of all levels to the possibilities offered by effects pedals. Most seasoned guitarists could tell quite a few stories about performing with the early Memory Man, Electric Mistress and Hot Tubes pedals.

Of all their effects, Electro-Harmonix is probably best known for the Big Muff Pi. Even if you've never heard of this pedal by name, it's almost a guarantee that you've heard it in action. A pedalboard staple for guitarists like Kurt Cobain, Pete Townshend and Ace Frehley, the Big Muff Pi has played a crucial role in rock history. Rounding out the list are even more artists including David Gilmour, The Edge, Billy Corgan and Jack White - it says a lot about this pedal that its roster of users reads like a who's who of the last few decades in popular music.

Whatever effect you're looking for, Electro-Harmonix has you covered. Flangers, chorus, compressors, delays, loopers, they're all here in the EHX lineup. Any sound you want to make can probably be accomplished, whether through one devoted pedal or stacking up different effects to make it happen. These pedals are ready to take on all of your effects tasks, from minor tweaks to shaping a whole new signature sound for that big solo.

Electro-Harmonix has a reputation that precedes them, and you'll quickly see why when you make some of their pedals the go-to effects on your pedalboard. It doesn't matter whether you're shopping for your first pedal or your ninety-first, you can always trust EHX to deliver quality effects that are all about the music.
