EHX Tone Tattoo

Electro Harmonix showed off their first analog multi-effects pedal: the Tone Tattoo. The pedal packs EHX's Metal Muff, Neo Clone, and Memory Toy into one compact box

Looks really cool, so let's discuss......

oooh, looks pretty neat. I have a feeling that it might not be all that sweet on bass, but honestly I haven't played the Metal Muff yet. I'm just going on instinct.

Are the Metal Muff and Neo Clone even popular? I dunno- seems like it might be a miss. You'd have to really want all three of those pedals. Wouldn't really be worth it if you only wanted two of them.

Doubtless conceived by the same genius that thought up the Bass Metaphors.

Yes, it's ugly as sin, and yes, it has a stupid name, but I do think the product is, in theory, fairly sound. I don't much like the Metal Muff, but that's a matter of personal preference. I'd have remade the old Hot Tubes, myself. Think of a better name, and we have the pedal EHX should have released. My vote goes for Tribunal, and I'll explain why: Three separate brains, judging your fate.

This is definitely a niche product, but there is a niche there. Metal distortion + chorus + delay is a pretty common combo in metal. The old Boss MZ-2 had this exact same combination.

I just got one. I like it.
I want to keep my setup simple, and have a few different tone /effect options every once in a while. All tones are usable - the metal muff maybe the least so down low - but the others work well across the range low to high. Memory toy can really "fill up" your sound by just adding a little - or can get dramatic if you want to play around with it.

i can keep my board to Wireless Receiver Line 6 G-50; Tuner, Compressor, Tone-Tattoo. 4 pedals on a short board not much to worry about and can get what i need.

Yeah, reminds me a bit of the DVD 3-packs where you think, "I sort of like two of these movies and never saw the third one"

I've been keeping my eye on that pedal for myself. I'm just waiting for one good video on youtube where it is reviewed with a bass, and not a guitar before I drop $200+ on a pedal.

Haha!! They should rename it "AquaNet"

Now the new Epitome looks pretty sweet with the MicroPog, Holy Grail and Stereo Electric Mistress!!!
