Electro-Harmonix pedals are legendary in the guitar world, and now, the brand has partnered with MixWave to bring a selection of its classic units to plugin form.
Comprising four plugins – offering six classic EHX circuits in total – the EHX Classics collection features, first up, the Big Muff Pi Fuzz. This includes three classic Big Muff fuzz/distortion circuits: the Big Muff Pi, Ram’s Head Big Muff and Russian Big Head.
“From smooth sustain to aggressive low-end punch, the plugin captures the unique response and tonal differences that made these variations so widely loved,” says EHX. “Switch between circuits to explore the full spectrum of Big Muff tones in a single plugin.”
The collection also features a plugin version of the Deluxe Memory Man Analogue Delay – the “pinnacle of BBD analogue delays” – as well as the Electric Mistress Flanger/Filter matrix, and Small Clone Chorus.
Each of these plugins has been created using “detailed component-level modelling” in order to faithfully capture the analogue circuitry of the original pedals.
“Few companies have shaped the sound of modern music like Electro-Harmonix,” adds EHX.
“From soaring fuzz to lush chorus, sweeping flanger and expansive analogue delay, our pedals have defined countless recordings for generations of musicians and producers.”
The EHX Classics are available now, both individually, and as a bundle with an introductory price of $109 (normal price $149). You can also sign up to the MixWave newsletter to save 15%.
