Doing Electro Harmonix Voice box treatments on the electribe drummachine

YouTube via RothHandle
"A interesting yet exhausting day in the studioI started out having about ten music teachers for a visit in the studio. Occasionally I have school classes coming by but this was the first time I had teachers which obviously felt kind of oddThey know so much more about these things than I do.

After the visit I actually sat down for myself with a cup of Coffee for a while and read some of a Tom Waits book I picked up a while back.

After the break I wanted to try some experiments with the Electro Harmonix Voice box pedalSo this is todays batch of videos. After these experiments I headed out for some Japanese lunch and then off to Alar Suurnas wonderful Shortlist studio to listen to a fresh mix of Nanook of the Norths track Get to work. It didnt get finished today but it is already sounding very promising.

This film was shot at Roth Händle studios in Sundbyberg, Stockholm, Sweden. This is where I spend my days producing and recording albums and artists. If you are curious to find out more about the studio please drop by www.roth-handle.nu It hasnt been updated in ages but you might find some stuff of interest there."

ELECTRO HARMONIX Big Box MICRO SYNTH

via this auction

"Here is a an Electro Harmonix Big Box. This older version of the pedal has become a desired for its classic folded body, self adjustable pot accessible on bottom, and reported longer sustain than its newer counterpart. This particular version also lends itself to extraordinary mods, that can be seen throughout the Web.

When I got this pedal a time back, I could never get it play like I wanted. After reading online blogs and posts, I found that there is a reported learning curve that accompanies this pedal. It is analog monophonic, and requires a proper technique and style of play. I personally could never adjust to it, and could not determine if it was just my inability, or faulty pedal. Not having access to another pedal to compare it to, I contacted Electro Harmonix to see if they could check it out for me. They were very cooperative, and gave me an address and instructions of were to send it to to have it inspected. They said they would charge a flat fee of $25 and for that amount , test and recalibrate the unit to factory specs. This would include the service and return shipping!

I thought this sounded like a great deal. I became occupied with other projects and never got around to it, and am now selling it.

This being said, the pedal is in great cosmetic condition with minor wear(see photos) Because I can not guarentee that the pedal is playing at 100%, It is being sold AS IS., and at a lower than general price. As mentioned above, If you found that the pedal is not playing as intended, ElectroHarmonix will test and recalibrate the unit to factory specs, for $25.00."

ELECTRO-HARMONIX (EHX) TALKING PEDAL speech synthesizer

via this auction

Some shots of the inside below.

"VINTAGE 1970's EHX (Electro-harmonix) Talking Pedal (a speech synthesizer) - the first all black version in used but good clean working condition... Its one of "The 10 Strangest Vintage Effects of All Time": 'While honorable mention must be made to the Heil Talk Box (which provides guitarists with a tube that they stick in their mouths to duplicate the sound of a stomach being pumped and other barfy delights), the Electro-Harmonix Talking Pedal enables your guitar to speak through purely electronic means. Actually, it only produces “A-E-I-O-U” vowel sounds, but it does give a guitar an uncanny vocallike tonality that is reminiscent of Yoda speaking Cantonese.'

Jean Michel Jarre used it on "Chronologie 2" and "Calypso 3"."

New ADDAC709C VC Organ Machine Eurorack Module

Published on Aug 25, 2016 ADDAC System

"The ADDAC709C is an official recreation of Electro-Harmonix's C9 Organ Machine pedal which is meant to “transform the tone of a guitar or keyboard into that of a convincing electric organ”. Well here it is ready for your modular system!

Feed it with any audio signal you want, and look to be surprised. EHX's polyphonic pitch tracker makes any waveform turn into amazing organ timbres, the three audio inputs makes it easier to achieve polyphony removing the need for an external mixer.

In our 709C, the EHX C9 control-knobs ORGAN (volume), MOD (modulation speed) and CLICK (percussive attack level) have been preserved. The DRY volume knob has been replaced by the INPUTS MIX. In ADDAC’s Organ Machine this knob controls the volume of the input signal(s) to be processed, i.e. a value of 0 will mute the module. You also have control over each inputs individual volume through three dedicated multi-turn trimmer pots. The dry/wet MIX OUTPUT will let you control the percentages of dry and wet signals present at the output. The ORGAN and MIX SATURATION trimmer pots amplify or attenuate their maximum volume values, here less saturation generates sweeter and mellow timbres while more saturation generates nasty growling organs.

The 9 PRESETS* of the original electro-harmonix Organ Machine were kept, but here, besides selecting them with a knob, you are also able to swap them with a CV signal (PRSTS CV).

The 6 CV inputs available in the module let you CV variate its corresponding parameter. Each has a dedicated attenuation knob (ATT.) and an INVERT toggle that change its polarity (and hence the way that attenuation acts).

The AUDIO OUTPUTS section offers three separate outs: INPUTS MIX, DRY/WET MIX and ORGAN.

We can't express how gratefull we are to Electro-Harmonix for allowing us to do such module!

Multi-track tape killer? EHX 95000 by Electro-Harmonix reviewed w/ Moog Subharmonicon

Published on May 31, 2018 loopop

"The Electro-Harmonix EHX-95000 is the latest in its series of multi-track loopers. The concept behind these loopers is simplicity, and for the most part, knob per function.

Electro-Harmonix were clearly going for scale here: the EHX95000 can live loop into 6 mono tracks, which can be used alternatively as 3 stereo tracks. It also has a seventh "mixdown" stereo track that can live record all 6 mono tracks, including their level and panning motion, and mix them down into one stereo track, freeing the 6 tracks for even more live looping.

Each of the tracks has its own dedicated level control, and the six mono tracks have panning control as well. Panning can be used to separate your tracks in the stereo field, but also, as I show in the video review, as a performance tool to send each track through a different external effects chain.

The combination of 6 mono tracks and one stereo mixdown track is called a Loop, and the EHX95000 can store 100 of those on a removable SD card. The supplied 16GB card can store up to 375 minutes.

There's an easily accessible UNDO button to clear up recording mistakes or as a performance tool.

Once a loop is recorded, it can be overdubbed, with an ability to control the level of the part you're dubbing over, so "old" parts of a loop can gradually fade away as you record new ones. There's also a "punch" in function if you prefer to replace part of a recorded loop rather than overdub.

Loop length can be determined in real time, or quantized to a pre-set tempo. A metronome is available with a count-in function, and since there are dedicated headphone outputs, your audience need not be troubled with the metronome clicks.

Additional performance features include one-click reverse, one click octave drop, and the ability to adjust the pitch and tempo of a loop after you record it. This can be done either via smooth control or quantized to semitones. Pitch and tempo shifting go together – you can't change one without the other – the higher you raise the tempo, so goes the pitch, and vice versa.

In terms of connectivity, the EHX-95000 has two L/R inputs with 1/4 inch/XLR jack type connector, with a phantom power switch. There are separate headphone and L/R outputs, as well as a monitor output and AUX input. A USB port means you don't need a card reader to read or write to the SD card. WAV files can be transferred to and from the SD card so you can save your loops, or import pre-recorded ones. There's also an expression pedal input to control loop levels.

The included MIDI in and out ports give you extensive control over the EHX-95000 via MIDI commands.

PROS: Very easy to use and learn, plenty of tracks with knob-per-function control; extensive MIDI controls

CONS: All 7 tracks in a loop need to be the same length; no onboard effects."

Electro Harmonix Sequencer Drum

"Super quick sound demo for the Electro Harmonix Sequencer, adjusting pitch, decay, and rate."

via this auction
"The Sequencer Drum is one of the rarest Electro Harmonix pedals. Unlike some of the other EH obscurities, this one is actually useful and sounds amazing! Not only is it an 8-step CV/Gate sequencer, but it has a built in synthesizer and a mode that allows you trigger the sequence at a set decay! The leather pad on the front is meant to be tapped to activate the trigger (hence the "drum" in the title). This particular sequencer is the fully patched out version, with an input that allows you to clock the unit externally, and CV and internal Clock outputs for sequencing other synthesizers."

In this episode of Effectology I explore how to produce sounds like the haunting Irish Uilleann Pipes, Harmonic Drones and Giant Field Drums, and Backing Strings all using just a guitar and effect pedals.
Uilleann Pipes are an early form of Bagpipes that date back over 300 years.
They are one of the most expressive and beautiful instruments heard in Irish music.
Now guitar players can capture some of that magic.

Electro-Harmonix HOG Octave Generator Synthesizer Guitar Effect

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction
I was going to pop this one up on MATRIXSYNTH-BB, but figured it was an interesting reminder of what else is out there in the synth world. Electro Harmonix pedals tend to cross over to the synth realm not only with their dedicated synth pedals like the HOG, but others as well. See the EHX label at the bottom of this post and scroll through posts for more.

"Generate everything from extreme sub bass to powerful multi-octave chords with this harmonic octave generator!

Blast off to a whole new universe of sounds with the Electro-Harmonix HOG, a polyphonic guitar synthesizer with NO special pickup required. It gives you complete control of up to 10 interval pitches including fifth and third intervals, glistening filter sweeps, and insane pitch bends. Dedicated filtering and envelope control, with numerous setup options, make the HOG a must-have performance instrument.

The HOG can simultaneously generate multiple octaves and harmonics from your input signal. Whether you play single notes, arpeggios or full chords, the HOG will track every note you play. In addition, the HOG has seven expression modes that enable you to modify your sounds using the included expression pedal, a MIDI controller, or the expression button on the HOG itself. There is also an amplitude envelope and a 2nd order low-pass filter with resonance. The optional EH Foot Controller (I am listing separately) allows you to store and load six presets.

You have control over the HOG's basic audio circuitry with an input gain slider (with clip LED), a dry output slider, and a bypass switch. Audio I/O includes 1/4" Hi-Z input, 1/4" output, and a buffered direct output jack. The voice controls let you access the polyphonic synthesizer section. There are 10 voice sliders on the HOG, each with a white cap with a black line that controls the output volume for its voice. The ten sliders let you generate notes two octaves down, one octave down, the incoming signal, a fifth up, one octave up, an octave up plus a fifth, two octaves up, two octaves up plus a third, three octaves up, and four octaves up. The selectable envelope section controls the amplitude attack or decay of the voices, with separate sliders for the lower five voices and upper five voices.

The Spectral Gate button activates circuitry that emphasizes the loudest frequency or harmonic and reduces the volumes of all other present frequencies and harmonics. The filter frequency slider controls the cutoff or peak frequency of the low pass filter, while the filter resonance slider controls the Q or peak of the filter.

The HOG's seven different expression modes are selected consecutively by the expression mode switch: bend one octave, bend one step, volume, freeze plus gliss, freeze plus volume, wah-wah, and a filter. There is also an expression reverse mode and you can control the expression modes externally with an expression pedal or modulate any of the expression modes using MIDI pitch bend.
