About this product
Electro-Harmonix Attack Decay Tape Reverse Simulator Pedal. Produces volume and reverse swells, backward tape sounds, artificially short staccato notes and bowed instrument effects! The circa-1980 Electro-Harmonix Attack Decay is a sought after prize among vintage pedal aficionados. Originally called a Tape Reverse Simulator, it’s known for producing volume and reverse swells, backward tape sounds, artificially short staccato notes and bowed instrument effects. The freshly designed EHX Attack Decay reinterprets the classic and keeps its cool factor, but adds some modern features for convenience and enhanced functionality. It can produce a single volume envelope like the original, or, with Poly engaged, put separate volume envelopes on each note you play. The built-in Harmonix fuzz is now a fully controllable distortion with gain, tone and volume controls. The effects loop allows the musician or sound designer to place the volume envelope onto whatever signal is present at the Return jack. Expression pedal/CV input and three user presets give the user total control over their Attack Decay! Product Highlights: Volume envelope manipulation with adjustable Attack and Decay times. Mono mode: one volume envelope at a time, the envelope resets when you play a new note. Poly mode: gives each note you play its own envelope. Built-in, fully adjustable, Harmonix fuzz enhances the volume envelope effect and produces bowed instrument sounds. Built-in effects loop allows for your own pedals to be inserted onto the volume envelope. Expression pedal or CV control over every knob on the Attack Decay. Save and recall up to three presets. Power adapter included. Product Features: Poly Button: Press and release to toggle between mono and poly modes. SENS Mini Knob: Mono (Poly off): Sets the threshold at which a new pluck is detected thus triggering the start or restart of the volume envelope. Poly On: When POLY is enabled the SENS knob has a similar function as in Mono mode but over a limited range. Preset Buttons 1, 2, & 3: Press and release to load and unload the first, second, or third preset. Press and hold for two seconds to save the sound you currently hear to a preset. Harmonix Mini Knob: Adjusts the gain and saturation amount of the internal Harmonix distortion. Tone Mini Knob: Sets the tone of the Harmonix section. H.VOL Mini Knob: Sets the output volume of the Harmonix section. Vol Knob: Sets the master output level of the Attack Decay. Blend Knob: A master wet/dry mix. Optionally, it can adjust the mix between dry and Harmonix signals before they enter the volume envelopes. A third option mixes the signal at the RETURN jack with the output of the volume envelopes. Attack Knob: Sets the swell or fade-in speed of the volume envelopes. Decay Knob: Sets the staccato or fade-out speed of the volume envelopes. EXP Jack: Connect an expression pedal or control voltage (CV) to allow for external control over every knob on the Attack Decay. Connect a clock pulse to EXP to trigger the volume envelopes from an external source. Return Jack: Receives the output from an external effects loop or another instrument.

Electro-Harmonix Pico Attack Decay Tape Reverse Simulator Pedal. Seductive swells and reverse tape effects push the envelope on any pedalboard! The original Attack Decay Tape Reverse Simulator is known for producing volume and reverse swells, backward tape sounds, artificially short staccato notes, and bowed instrument effects. In 2019 the digital Attack Decay reissue was released, and now the Pico Attack Decay gives us volume envelope effects in a simplified, compact package. The Pico Attack Decay allows you to dial in volume swells and decays, both in Mono mode - one volume envelope for all notes you play - and the revolutionary Poly mode where each note has its own volume envelope creating cascading swell effects and leads with agile attack smoothing. With intuitive functionality and simple controls, the Pico Attack Decay opens up creative avenues for any player interested in pushing the (volume) envelope. The Pico Attack Decay is both powerful and simple with four knobs and a mode button that let you create a wide variety of effects. The ATTACK knob sets the swell or fade-in speed of the volume envelope while the DECAY knob sets the fade-out speed of the volume envelope. Set the ATTACK higher for languid volume swells. Set the DECAY higher for artificially staccato notes for synth-like punches. SENS adjusts the threshold for triggering the envelope. VOL controls the overall output volume. A hidden BLEND control allows you to blend wet and dry signals for even more flexibility in tone. Product Highlights: Compact Pico chassis. Volume envelope effects of the EHX Attack Decay Reissue. Mono Mode: single volume envelope for all notes you play each time envelope is triggered. Poly Mode: individual envelopes for each note played. VOL adjusts overall output volume. SENS sets threshold volume to trigger envelope. ATTACK sets fade-in time of volume envelope. DECAY sets fade-out time of volume envelope. Hidden BLEND control adjusts from 100% wet signal to 100% dry signal. Power adapter included. Product Features: Power Jack: Attach the output plug from the included power supply to the 9V power jack. Current draw: 100mA at 9.0V DC. Poly Button: Press this button to choose your volume envelope mode: Green - Mono Mode: The entire signal goes through one volume envelope. Any time you play a new note or chord, the volume envelope resets, affecting every note you are playing or sustaining. Orange - Poly Mode: Each note has its own volume envelope and therefore multiple volume envelopes are active at one time. Vol Knob: Controls the output volume. Sens Knob: Controls the sensitivity of the Pico Attack Decay to new notes. As SENS is turned clockwise, the more easily your playing will trigger and reset the volume envelope. Attack Knob: As you turn ATTACK knob clockwise, the attack time increases. Turn the ATTACK knob to minimum to disable the attack portion of the envelope. Decay Knob: Sets the fade-out speed of the volume envelopes. As you turn DECAY knob clockwise, the decay time increases. Turn the DECAY knob to maximum to disable the decay portion of the envelope. Output Jack: Audio output from the Pico Attack Decay. Input Jack: Audio input to the Pico Attack Decay. Footswitch and Status LED: Footswitch engages or bypasses the effect. The LED color indicates the envelope type. In bypass, the LED is off. Product Specifications: Circuit: Digital. Bypass: Buffered Bypass. Audio: Mono. Power Supply: 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter included. Dimensions (in): 3.65 x 2.0 x 2.0. Current Draw: 100mA. Year Released: 2023. UPC: 683274012476.

One of Electro-Harmonix’s most popular effects, there are many reasons to love the POG2. One major reason being its unique attack filter, applying attack envelopes to each individual note played whether in single notes or in a chord. This creates a very musical, multi-voice effect that’s extremely adaptive to any musical style. This polyphonic attack filter is the core of the PICO Swello generating polyphonic and reverse sounds with the addition of a modulated low-pass filter for even more expressive tones. Implemented subtly, the Swello adjusts your guitar’s attack to sound smooth and flowing even while playing fast lines and arpeggios. Laying on the effect more heavily creates dramatic swells perfect for shaping gently shifting ambient soundscapes and synth style pads. The simple 4-knob control layout is easy to drive starting with the heart of the pedal, the ATTACK knob. Turn up ATTACK to go from a quick, gentle attack time to slow, long swells. VOL controls the overall output and is useful for making up for the perceived low volume of long attack effects. The rest of the controls apply to the Low-Pass Filter. The Filter Button engages the LPF with adjustable low and high resonance settings. The FREQ control adjusts the cutoff frequency of the LPF. The MOD knob controls the depth and direction of the LPF envelope for upward or downward filter sweeps over a narrow or wide range of frequencies limited by the cutoff frequency. The LPF’s modulation timing is tied directly to the ATTACK knob setting. Combining the LPF with the Attack Envelope brings added musicality and expressiveness to fan-favorite effect, now in its very own pedal.

Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Neo Reverb Pedal. Your quest for an ultra pedalboard-friendly stompbox that includes plate reverb is fulfilled! The EHX Neo Holy Grail is an update to the popular compact digital reverb, the Holy Grail, featuring three reverb algorithms: SPRING, HALL, and PLATE. All three are designed and tailored for electric guitar but work equally well on most instruments and voices. The SPRING algorithm recreates the classic spring reverbs found in many guitar amplifiers. The HALL algorithm simulates the reverberations heard in large spaces such as concert halls or cathedrals. The PLATE algorithm emulates a metal plate reverb commonly found in high-end recording studios during the 1960s and ‘70s, producing a smooth, tonally balanced sound that works well on many instruments, especially vocals. True bypass switching ensures your tone remains unaffected when bypassed. Product Highlights: Three super reverb styles in one compact pedal. Features Spring, Plate, and Hall reverbs. True bypass. Compact, rugged chassis. Power adapter included. Product Features: Reverb Knob: Controls the wet/dry mix from 100% dry to 100% wet. Toggle Switch: Selects between the three reverb algorithms. Amp Jack: 1/4" audio output. Input Jack: 1/4" audio input. Footswitch: Toggles between effect and bypass modes. Product Specifications: Circuit: Digital. Bypass: True Bypass. Audio: Mono. Power Supply: 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter included. Dimensions (in): 4.5 x 2.75 x 2.1. Current Draw: 75mA. Year Released: 2015. UPC: 683274011615.
