This is my first EHX pedal, and I love it dearly. (EDIT: To clarify, the first EHX pedal I ever owned, not my first and only EHX pedal)
I got it to make noises. And it delivers.
I can make all kinds of wonderful metallic and robotic sounds, as well as more subtle sounds. It’s really nice and clean sounding though. Tons of headroom. It gets really nasty when I put it before my Little Big Muff. They’re a match made in heaven. Mean mean tones.
Cons are that it doesn’t have a CV/expression input for controlling frequency which would rule (though I can tweak it with my foot pretty well now, and I do in some songs), it doesn’t have an LED (which I’ve been procrastinating on adding for quite awhile), and it doesn’t have a carrier in.
I use it for doing a lot of things- when you tune it to a power chord it sounds massive.
Turning it on/off quickly is useful as well.
With it down in the mix and tweak it with your foot while playing it sounds like there is a weird theremin in the background.
Also I like making quirky melodies with it.
And writing sci-fi themed songs.
So much fun.
It’s punk rock.

Same here my friend
December 9, 2008 at 11:14 pm #88855julianModeratornitefly didn’t do that one, Beavis did it for him
I inquired with Beavis about having him do the same stuff for mine, plus maybe some extra stuff
and he said that it would be better for me just to do it myself
I decided against it though I am going to add in the carrier in thing

WOW dude, you need to get some more EH pedals, they are easily the best effects in existence and value for money too! The Freq. ANalyzer is a pretty cool effect, I always think of devo when I hear about it.
December 10, 2008 at 12:36 am #88863julianModeratorI phrased that badly
It’s the first EH pedal I ever got, I’ve owned it for 5-6 years.
February 20, 2009 at 7:15 pm #93712julianModeratorI just want to say how much I still love this pedal.

Is this really vintage? He’s claiming that the unit originally ran on 2 9v batteries, and he modified it to use AC power.

March 4, 2009 at 1:26 pm #94190Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:my BS detector is blinkingMine was too. But was there ever a vintage Freq An in the deluxe enclosure, or did they only use the dlx encl for the reissues?
