Enigma Q-balls: i find this filter to be very versatile, i think its a bit under rated. lots of satisfying juicy funk inside.

Easy answer, Bass Balls is my all time favorite effect. I have a modded NYC that is the coolest thing ever so many sounds.

I should preface this by saying I'm not a player who's very dependent on effects. So the Muff Pi gets my vote just because it's the most usable in my situation, and a killer fuzz all around.

That said, once you get outside the bass realm, I'd have to say the Deluxe Memory Man is my favorite offering from EHX. Amazing analog delay!

^This. Because it's has a lot of controls, and each control has a lot of range, it's a love-it-or-hate-it pedal. I've found that the limited-range envelope filters that "can't make a bad sound" also can't make nearly as many great sounds as the Q-balls.

Pretty short list on the poll- missing tons of great pedals. I've owned quite a few Ehx pedals over the years, but the only one I still own is a Black Finger.

I am a big EHX fan and the Bass Micro Synth is one of the 1st pedals I ever bought...and still have!
But the only EHX pedal that is currently on my main board is the POG2. I really love that pedal. It is so inspiring. I use it alot with other effects to create and write. I will keep that like my BMS...for long, long time!

Yeah, I just posted the strictly bass pedals (and the freeze, as I've seen it on alot of the pedalboards in the PYOB threads).

It would've been an awfully long poll if I had posted every great EHX pedal!

On the list ... Bass Muff Pi. Everytone fuzz tone I search for, I find it.

Off the list ... Micro POG. Synthy, easy to figure out right out of the box, very unique.

HOG. I voted for the BMS, but the real answer is the HOG. It's the only pedal I have ever sold that I regret selling. It funded my M13, which I also love, but if I could have found a way to get both...

I miss you HOG

Not one of the ones I really love is on that list. Qtron+, Micro POG, and the Flanger Hoax.

I currently have: Bassballs, LPB-1, Memory Toy and Neo Clone. Recently sold the BBM and Small Stone. The BBM is the only EHX pedal I really couldn't relate to. My next try will probably be the Enigma or the Q-Tron.

I miss you HOG
I miss my HOG too.
That one for $330 on the classifieds is enticing...I need a HOG and to unload my Moog Freqbox.
