New EHX stuff

I guarantee you the next XO pedal will be the Polychorus.

But, to stay on track: amazing. I will have the Frequency Analyzer, Graphic Fuzz, and the reissued Hot Tubes. That, along with the Polychorus (which will be reissued as an XO), Polyphase, and a 105Q, will make up my second pedalboard, which (in my inimitable way) has been given a name: Davros (search that name on the Wikipedia, and you'll sort of understand).

Hot tubes? I didn't see that one.

I love the tube zipper, which I understand has a similar preamp section (correct me if I'm wrong) but I would love to have the hot tubes EQ controls. THERE's an overdrive for ya!
 
I didn't like the Frequency Analyzer at all.

Me either - and I LIKE ring mods. Well see if the XO version is different at all, but until my Mold Spore breaks down I can't see myself going for the FA. I actually bought a used full-sized FA and unloaded it because it couldn't compete.

It probably does "subtle" better, though.


but I'm excited to check out the Graphic Fuzz.

Anybody have any experience with this for bass? The graphic EQ leads one to suspect it could work well on bass, but even so there's always that chance it's got the low end stifled to avoid "muddy" sounds on geetar, like so many other distortions...
 
If they redo the Polychorus I will be very happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I love that pedal and want the XO one, and sad because I'd have to unload my full size one, that no one will want.
