Electro Harmonix - Which pedals are all analog?

Sign in to disble this ad
It seems like Electro Harmonix has analog AND digital pedals.

Which ones are all analog?

Your question's technically backwards... because if I answered it, it'd be a scary-long list. Meanwhile, the digital list is short. Digital effects are still fairly new territory for them, so there are very few digital EHX pedals.

------------------------------
DIGITAL EHX PEDALS
------------------------------

EHX POG
EHX Micro POG
EHX HOG
EHX #1 Echo
EHX Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai (NOT to be confused with the other Memory Man pedals, which are analog)
EHX Stereo Electric Mistress (NOT to be confused with the other Mistress pedals, which are analog)
EHX Holy Stain (Fuzz and Drive features are analog, the Reverb/Pitch Shifting is digital)
EHX Holy Grail
EHX Holy Grail Plus
EHX Holier Grail
EHX Holiest Grail
EHX 2880 (Looper)
EHX 16 Second Digital Delay (duh! )

...and maybe one or two others I can't think of at the moment.

Some of their digital pedals, listed above, have a very natural analog sound to them. In particular, the SMMw/H, which can be dialed in to sound very much like an analog echo. Just to throw it out there.

I'd argue that most of their digital pedals can sound very natural... except the POG and HOG stuff. Precise, digital, pipe-organ goodness.

I'm sad that MysticBoo changed his Avatar.

IMO, yeah, but without the analog noise.

Be forewarned, however... the original analog Electric Mistress wasn't a typical-sounding flanger... and this one keeps that going on its flanger side.

Honestly, when it comes to flangers, you can toss the "analog/digital" question out the window... you have other far more important things to consider, as the "analog/digital" question says virtually nothing about the sound. It's not like the analog/digital delay argument, where there ARE still some distinctions between certain pedals (although the gap is rapidly closing with modern digital delay tone possibilities...).

A bit off topic but...

Mystic, I ordered a POG thanks to your advice.
Can't wait 'till I have it.

The Holy Stain's effects are digital, but the fuzz and overdrive are analog.

You are going to love it. It's one of my favorite pedals on my board.

The Bass Micro Synth and the XO are completely analog.
