Clockworks

DESCRIPTION

The EHX Clockworks Rhythm Generator/Synthesizer is a faithful reissue of the classic pedal made by Electro-Harmonix in the 1970s. It can be used as a master clock for sequencers and drum machines, and to trigger electronic percussion products like the EHX Crash Pad classic drum synth. Clockworks doesn’t create sound on its own. It generates pulses to trigger other devices and can set the tempo for a drum machine or sequencer like EHX’s 8 Step Program.

  • Works as a master clock for sequencers and drum machines
  • Generates pulses to trigger devices like electronic percussion products
  • Connect up to four devices to the four separate clock channels driven from the same master clock. Creating polyrhythms is fun and easy
  • Master clock can be generated internally by the Clockworks or come from an outside source
  • Fully analog
  • Power adapter included

CLOCK LEVEL SLIDER
The LEVEL slider located in the CLOCK section of the Clockworks adjusts the output level of the internal master clock sent to the CLOCK IN/OUT jack.
CLOCK IN/OUT JACK
When set to INT mode, the CLOCK IN/OUT jack is an output, the internally generated clock pulses will be output from this jack. When set to EXT mode, CLOCK IN/OUT is an input, connect your externally generated clock to this jack.

“With the rising popularity of analogue synths, this reissue is right on time.”
