Hello EHX forum, newbie Mr. John here. Not a newbie to EXH though: Bought my first EXH pedals mail order in 1980 or so, LPB1 and Small Stone (still have ’em, they still work!).

Earlier this year I got a new LPB1 to finally retire the original. (BTW the new one is very very close, nearly identical sounding to the original one. It’s a little cleaner and the switch is quieter. The oldie is a little more “raw” sounding. [em]—AND THERE’S MY FIRST REVIEW!![/em] :cheese:).

In April, a friend gifted me with a Fuzzy Surprise: An Octavix just showed up in the mail one day. Initially, I thought I might’ve accidentally purchased it since I had been looking at them a short while before. (Turned out it was a birthday present! Thanks again BW!) Anyhow, I loved the new fuzz, but thought it needed just a hint of phase shifter to get things a little more psychedelic…

My old Small Stone (and a couple of other oldies from companies that will remain unnamed) proved my hunch that indeed, phase shift and fuzz are always fun together (I call it the [em]Fuzz Shifter[/em]). But it would have to be a [em]new phase shifter[/em], to compliment the new fuzz…

Enter the new Bad Stone a few weeks later…followed by the Flanger Hoax shortly after that…a Graphic Fuzz and Memory Toy somewhere along the way…

So I’ve decided that’s a good start to building a new, “All EHX” pedalboard. S8 Multi power supply and OD Glove on the way right now. Will probably get the wah wah next. Not sure how far this will go, and most likely all the weirdest stuff won’t go on there but mostly gig-able sounds: boost/od, chorus, reverb, echo, phase.

I’m a big Hendrix fan and tend to use fuzz, wah, phase shift, and some trippy echo once in a while. Also a big Blues fan, Surf Guitar buff, Heavy Metal aficionado, Country Western, Punk Rock, etc etc kind of guy. Lately been playing with a covers band that does material ranging from 50’s stuff up to current songs so I need to be able to cover a lot of the basic sounds for ‘classic’ rock type stuff. So, kinda need a pedalboard of some sort… this one’s gonna be ALL EHX!!

So, Hello again, and it’s nice to be here. Will provide reviews down the line for all the EHX I’ve got, and as stuff gets added down the line. See ya on the forum!!!
