New EHX pedal videos

sonicvi · #1 08-10-2007, 07:10 PM

I don't think anybody's posted about these yet but there are videos from NAMM for the new EHX pedals at gearwire.com. The videos are pretty crap really. The demonstrator isn't very good and the guy with the mic holds it up to the guy's guitar instead of near the amp so half the time all you hear is the guitar, but it's better than nothing.
They're scattered throughout the NAMM Summer 07 section.

Everyone knows you're supposed to hold the mic next to the pedal, not the guitar.

Yeah, better than nothing... but that guy with the mic was pissing me off. And the Gearwire intro for each video was also annoying.

Maybe he's one of those guys who think tone is all in the fingers

Oooooooooooo, Memory Man...

Damnit. I thought I had evaded indescision with my next delay pedal. So many features...

Thanks for the link!

So the Electric Mistress does have the Filter Matrix feature built-in... it kicks in past a certain range. Strange approach, but still cool. I wish he'd demonstrated the chorus alone, though - I want to hear how it compares to the Clones!

The Micro POG is as cool as it's ever been, and the other pedals seem pretty interesting, too.

And yeah, the guy with the mic needs to be trained in how to use one...

they either need more mics, or a new mic engineer. The man sucks at directing the mic! Also, it's pretty annoying how they never show what these pedals can really do besides what is stated in the manual. I know that some of the pedals are fairly straightforward, but it should take at least more than freak'n 2-5 minutes to run through a ton of talk and maybe one or two examples of the effect recorded (poorly) before the demo of that particular pedal ends. Ah well, I guess I'll still have to go test these out in the stores.

I have a hunch that the Mistress is digital. Did you see the interviews with Mike Matthews? He claims the Micro POG sounds even better than the regular POG.

When I saw the thread title " New EHX pedal videos" I was hoping it wasn't gearwire.com. Unforunately, it is.

All their videos are terrible, people really need to stop linking to them!

I am assuming the guy with the mic doesn't have headphones on, so he can't he what is recording. gearwire.com needs to invest in a cheap pair of headphones!

"Put the [mono] microphone in the middle to hear the stereo effect."

yeah the videos are pretty bad, interviewer is horrible and the clips aren't long enough to really get a feel for the pedals
