JereEHXMemberQuote:This was a post from back in October 2017–ever since I had to send the amp back, twice–but its been working great no issues. Same with the .44. Now at practice, our bass players amp went out, so we used it to power a 8×10 Ampeg cab–it did okay, but seemed to be maxing out at about mid-volume.
I get a lot of people asking about the amp. And, I do tell them I had problems, but I also say its been great since the fix, and no issues. I did have a knob work loose, but fixed it. Then amp is a key part of my sound–and I use all EHX pedals. Generally my rig is reliable! You can here it here on our latest recording.

I use an 80’s Guild M-80 with Dimarzio XR7s…
Nice fat sounds out of the amp, congrats!
JereEHXMemberQuote:Quote:I believe the expression pedal controls only rate rather than sweep.The expression pedal controls the sweep, not the rate. It is exactly like setting it to MANUAL/EXP and turning the RANGE knob with your hand.
Without the expression pedal, the MANUAL/EXP gives you a cocked wah on the WAH setting, a notched filter on the PHASE setting, a “harmonic” filter on the TREM setting, and pretty much nothing on the VIBR setting because of the way the vibrato works.
With the expression pedal, the MANUAL/EXP gives you a wah pedal on the WAH setting, a foot-controlled phase on the PHASE setting, a foot-controlled harmonic filter on the TREM setting, and a strange, extremely subtle detune on the VIBR setting.
The wah on the worm has a very wide range and a fairly narrow Q to my ear.
This means there are at least ten ways to get a wah with EHX pedals, and they’re almost all a bit different.
1. Wailer Wah – Crying tone with rack.
2. Crying Tone Wah – No moving parts.
3. Crying Bass Wah – Crying Tone tuned for bass.
4. Cock Fight Plus – Cock Fight built into a pedal.
5. Cock Fight with Expression Pedal – Includes classic fuzz.
6. Blurst with Expression Pedal
7. Enigma with Expression Pedal – Riddle tuned for bass.
8. Riddle with Expression Pedal
9. Talking Machine with Expression Pedal – Wah and Bass Balls mode.
10. Worm with Expression PedalThanks for correcting me … I somehow got confused with a boss phaser pedal I had which had an expression input that controlled rate
JereEHXMemberQuote:Anyone tried it with an expression pedal?I have a CryBaby that I can’t stand. I’d love to hear how the Worm wah works when using it as a wah, using an expression pedal.
I believe the expression pedal controls only rate rather than sweep. Have you considered the Morley Bad Horsie 2? It has two modes, standard and contour sweep ( which is adjustable), it is activated by engaging the pedal rather than a switch and turns off when the pedal is no longer engaged, and it is built to survive a nuclear war. Some have complained about a weak wah coming out of it, which may be true of the standard Morley wah, but the bh2 has a really nice, and adjustable, tone.
JereEHXMemberI like the sound and analog feel but the best part about getting it brand new is the worm that comes with it!
JereEHXMemberOpen it up and post pics to see if there are clues inside …
JereEHXMemberQuote:That’s what I thought. It looks like there were BJG misprints, but I haven’t seen a picture of one with the logo above the text like it is on mine.Yours also doesn’t say “made in USA”
JereEHXMemberBut note that your muff has an error – a J instead of an I …
JereEHXMemberOops you already identified it as such …

JereEHXMemberThis is a terrific idea, but I would suggest a few more options than the 44 mag has. Make a selector switch to choose between 20/50/100 watts. Have two speaker outs (for multiple cabs). Keep the controls the same as the 44 mag. 1 volume knob and 1 bright switch. I recently picked up a 44 mag and it blew away my expectations. I play it through a Jet City speaker in a closed-back cab and it sounds so warm and organic. If the above features are added I would pick one up for sure.
P.S. Now that I think of it, I would like to have an FX loop on it as well as an on/off button. Of course, with these additions, it would no longer be pedal-sized.
