Hi Stimpy :wave:

I love all of the EHX tube pedals. The English Muff’n is the only one I haven’t tried yet. So I wouldn’t want to discourage you from trying out the Tube EQ, because it is a really cool pedal that does some really unique things.

But I would hesitate to tell anyone that a pedal will make a solid state amp sound and feel more like a “tube amp.” There are so many tube amps out there, and they all sound incredibly different. I’ve heard some tube amps that sound colder than some solid state amps. My vintage EHX Mike Matthews Dirt Road Special amps are solid state, and they are some of the warmest sounding amps I’ve ever played.

The Tube EQ is a fantastic tone shaper, so it will enhance what you can already do with your Gibson amp and give you more options. That much is certain!

I hope you can resurrect it. I have one of those, and it is one of my favorite EHX pedals ever.

Thanx friedjesseradio :wave:

Yeah, compression is something I probably overuse, but my ears are tuned differently than most guitarists I know.

Are you asking for a pitch vibrato pedal?

The Mem Boy/Man series behaves much like an old tape delay… that is, a pitch vibrato is applied to only the delayed signal.

The chorus effect works the same way, except the delayed signal is typically 50ms or less.

So, if you put a chorus pedal in front of a delay pedal, you are chorusing both the direct signal and the delayed signal from the delay, which has a very different sound to it than the Mem Boy/Man series.

If you want a pitch vibrato pedal instead of a chorus pedal, the Worm’s vibrato is quite nice.

Totally. The 16 Second Digital Delay, the 2880, the Hazarai, the HOG, and the Cathedral are some of my favorite EHX pedals. None of them could be done analog.

But I usually do prefer my filters, modulation, distortion, fuzz, and overdrives to be analog.

Nice! I still want to find one to compare with those Polish copies

It’s a 1 trick pony, but lots of fun. Sounds a bit like a Golden Throat.

So far I can pronounce “yeah!” , “E I E I O” , and “Oy E Oy E O” .

I sent mine to Howard Davis to make the Mod Rate knob slower. I’m not sure what the resistor value is that he used. But that one is worth doing.

I have 2 1978 4-knob blue DMMs, which also have knob configurations for 50% at 9 o’clock. But my Polyflange is configured for 50% at 12 o’clock. So maybe there are some earlier models where the circuit was laid out like the Echoflanger

…or maybe EHX already had a bunch of circuit boards built for the Echoflanger and installed them in the newer enclosure, or maybe a previous owner of your unit swapped out the enclosure.
