Now I just need some time to sit and play around with my toys.
I love all my children equally, so I’m going to list my EHX pedals in order of which gets used the most to the less often used ( I hope I don’t get a call from HRS for this ) child:
1: English Muff’n
2: Stereo Memory Man
3: HOG
4: MicroSynth ( big case version )
5: Flanger Hoax
6: Black Finger
I would point out that my number one pedal is also my favorite pedal in general, so it’s a double duty rating.
Well I just pulled the trigger on a Flanger Hoax for $125 on evilbay ! GREAT DEAL ! I have been hearing rumors that these are slated for discontinuation in the near future so get one of these “FREAK-OUT” machines while you can ! The price will sky rocket once this happens ! I see many hours of tweeking fun in my future ! :clap:
I bought one to on E-Bay as well, still waiting for it to get here, the big difference is I’m not sure what I bought. The demos sounded cool that I found on You-Tube, the reviews were pretty good that I read. However they all had the scary caveat that it was hard to use.

1. Small Stone Nano
2. POG2
3. Neo Mistress
4. Holy Grail Nano (I no longer have this)
It’s tight between the Small Stone and the POG2, but there is something about the simplicity and response of the former that gives it the edge. I dumped the Holy Grail not because it is a bad pedal (quite the contrary), but in order to free up some real estate on the pedal board and to force me to use the reverb on the amp.

It would be impossible for me to pick a favourite or least favourite E-H pedal as they are all of pretty well equal importance and use to me.If there was one that’s limited in its use it would be my old first year Frequency Analyzer,it’s still a fabulous and cool pedal but I don’t use it much these days as the music that I play has no call for it.I have a first year Electric Mistress that still is an indispensable part of my effects chain.I often use my very early Bad Stone along with the Mistress with one set at a slow cycle and the other at a moderate speed and both of them operating simultaneously with the guitar signal going through my Big Muff Pi first.That whole chain of effects then goes through my digital delay creating a sound that is incredibly like Jimi Hendrix’s House Burning Down and Gypsy Eyes.The Muff,Mistress and Bad Stone are all of equal importance to me and they are all absolutely vital when I play a gig.
I used to have an original Crying Tone pedal from the mid 70s and I absolutely loved it but even so I traded it and a set of guitar headphones for a Vox Phantom XII-that was a deal that I just couldn’t pass up no matter how much I loved that wah.Unlike the new Crying Tone,the old one had 4 different wah voices,could have the wah play backwards and also it could be used as a volume control-I wish that E-H would rerelease that great pedal.
