edit: had to shrink the photo
Cool board
But it needs a finish and some new patch cables I think.

Feedback
julianModeratorI’ve seen others use altoids tins for picks. So I had a spare altoids tin and I said “what the hell, I’ve got space.”
julianModeratorYep. . . Boss makes an awesome chorus pedal and then it gets discontinued and they never bring it back. Silly Boss.
julianModeratorPeople who say its hard to use simply played it for a few minutes without reading the manual in the store.
And I’d agree with Kevin- the original video did make it sound “effect-y” but upon playing it, it sounds very natural.
julianModeratorI love the video
but I’m not an average musician I guess
I’m into noise, shoegaze, experimental, etc.julianModeratorthat’s why I love EHX
julianModeratorI think it would have leaked already if there was. I’d assume they’d just be showing off the stuff that just got released.
If there is anything new for the spring I assume we won’t see any video until next week.
julianModeratorjulianModeratorAnalog isn’t always necessarily better than digital. I’ve heard digital delays sound better than analog delays, and digital synths sound incredibly fat. It depends on design and usage I think. There are also some things you simply can’t do in the analog world in real time. Which is where digital comes in handy.
I don’t really think boutique = evil. Small business is good, and things that boutique builders do makes its way into the mass produced world. People started making tricked out muffs in small cases and selling them for 200 dollars. Now EHX has three tricked out muffs in small cases and sells them for 75-90 dollars.
Beyond that there are boutique reissues of pedals that will never get reissued because the company that originally put them out is long gone.
And there are also guys that are huge innovators out there. I’ve got two “boutique” pedals that are totally off the wall. Though I don’t know. . . would you call SubDecay and CopilotFX to be boutique? Or just non mass produced?
If the qualifier of boutique is that it has to be overpriced, then I guess I’d count those guys as not boutique, because there stuff doesn’t cost much more than what I’d expect mass produced version of the same stuff to cost.
julianModeratorWell the double muff is a completely different monster than a big muff, totally different circuit.
I think the Bass Big Muff takes inspiration from the Russian and the Green. I like it a lot. Also having three modes is really nice because you can get a lot of different sounds out of it. The Bass Big Muff stacks very nicely with other dirt pedals because it has that clean blend. Personally I’ve played both the black and green, and I like them both (especially the green) but I’d go with the Bass Big Muff- it is much cheaper than green muff, sounds great, and is very flexible.
julianModeratorQuote:The Haz seems pretty cool (really cool even) but I like me some analog delay. That thing sounds like it would be fun just to mess around with, but I don’t think that someone as simple as myself could find an application for some of the more crazy features. I just like the simple, 3 knob delays. MXR Carbon Copy is the best analog for the price (it may be the only analog for the price).To each their own. Personally I use my SMMH mainly as a looper and don’t use much delay, but when I want to it sounds damn fine to me.
BTW There are cheaper analog delays than the MXR carbon copy, you just got to look around good and hard. Though they probably won’t have as much delay time. Also, Malekko’s coming out with a new analog delay for 159 that may give the carbon copy a run for its money.
julianModeratorQuote:my opinion…get what you pay for….buy something dunlop makes and you’ll get my drift first hand.EH gear pedals should be 300 – 500 dollars…and offer one of a kind customization for 1000+ to people like me who are rich and willing to spend it.
1000+ is a lot for custom mods. You can find people who will do that sort of stuff for you for less.
I think it kind of differs from EH’s business model. When you have the distribution and name recognition you do, you want to sell as cheaply as you can because it’s all about moving a lot of units. At the same time, EHX will also make more expensive pedals that won’t move as much- like the HOG.
I wouldn’t say that “you get what you pay for.” To a certain extent it’s true, but it’s not the rule. There’s good stuff at every price range, and crap at every price range.
julianModeratorOf the 7 XO pedals I’ve owned, all of them have been good. They may be different, but they’re still quality stuff.

Fades the volume in slowly. Though I think it did more than just that, because you could set the decay- when the notes die. And the harmonics I think adds some dirt.
