[Barkless Dog]

Electro-Harmonix Frequency Analyzer- bought new used only a little bit. Includes power adaptor.

$95.00 shipped

Ring Modulator One of the most sophisticated and unusual effects in the Electro-Harmonix line, the Frequency Analyzer, used by Devo and others, adds moving harmonies to the original note while controllable high order filters reduce cross product distortion. From tunable three-voice harmony to anarchic microtonal sounds, the Frequency Analyzer is an esoteric accessory for all instruments

Do you have any samples of this? Specifically I'm looking for the sound that John Frusciante, guitar i know, gets on the EHX site, the tribal percussive sound. Thanks

It's a wierd little effect, I did not play with it too much.

is it easy to change sounds with this?

[bongomania]

What do you mean by "change sounds"? It will certainly "change" any sound you feed it!

[Barkless Dog]

yes you have infinate possibilities, from just a touch to your signal/blended to full weirdness. Like most of EH stuff major tweeking is involved.

Purchase: I acquired this item new from eBay. I paid $150, which included the unit, its power supply, free shipping, and three sets of Electro-Harmonix guitar strings. I bought this item because I needed a reasonably-priced yet high quality ring modulator for a variety of applications.

What I Like About The Electro-Harmonix EH-5000 Frequency Analyzer (Ring Modulator): In terms of classic ring modulator sounds, I defy any unit to beat this one, regardless of price. Though simpler (that is to say, less feature-packed) than many out there, its tone will compete with any comers. For all its simplicity, this unit DOES have one feature that most others do not, one which is often overlooked: a fine tuning knob with which the user can make subtle pitch/microtonal changes over a one octave range.

What I Do NOT Like About The Electro-Harmonix EH-5000 Frequency Analyzer (Ring Modulator): All things being equal, I love this unit unconditionally. As I mentioned above, this unit DOES lack many of the features that its higher-priced counterparts have.

EH-5000 Frequency Analyzer (Ring Modulator) Quality: The construction of this unit seems solid, though it is bigger than most. This does not bother me, but it might those with limited pedal board space. It should be noted that it is no bigger than any other ring modulator available, except for the DOD Gonkulator, a rare, overpriced, less flexible unit noteworthy chiefly because Incubus's guitarist uses one.

EH-5000 Frequency Analyzer (Ring Modulator) Summary: Even if I had the money to buy the Moogerfooger, the Frostwave, or (I wish) the Lovetone ring modulator, I'm not sure that I would. I'll state it again: in terms of sound, this one takes on all comers. All things considered, the Electro-Harmonix Frequency Analyzer is, without question, the best value for one's money. The only thing better is two of them.

Rating of this Electro-Harmonix product: 5
