«  I temper the previous opinion! »

Published on 05/10/10 at 17:55
Bah, who pedal EHX suprime the "hum" of a guitar pickups. Something basic with a footswitch (ON / OFF) and switch (Normal / Strong). Nothing to say is simple and effective.

UTILIZATION

It's EHX, nothing could be simpler ... The switch selects the power mitigation. There are only two possible parameter, so it's not complicated. Pedal demand 7.5v so that, that one can not care for the balls cons ...

SOUND QUALITY

In normal, it doesn't hurt, but on some guitars, there is a bit of hum in strong, it colors the sound too ... not bad but not great ...

OVERALL OPINION

You should know that, as announced on the website and the manual, this pedal removes the hum of the guitar, and therefore more suitable for single coils. In this use, it is rather effective, the normal setting is often sufficient, but occasionally some guitars are in need of strong adjustment in this case the pedal will send back a ring mod sound rather boring ...
Will need to know is that I have found that the hum is more stronger, the effect of ring mod will be marked on the normal setting. So do not use it to remove the hum of power supply, let alone the mass of buzz, it's a pedal to start the chain, just after the guitar, it will not work after a distortion, a comp or other noisy animal is not a noise supressor!
For those who played by 2 meters from their amp, the hum is too strong, so it is useless to use this pedal.
Ultimately, I sold this pedal because I got used to shield the inside of my guitar (+ copper cable) and use the cable double shielded floating mass. With that, I did not need. I think this pedal is very dear to it, that's why the have sold a paltry sum, I think the person who currently uses must be satisfied for the price, however, over 50 €, I do not recommend it. Later, from there to spit on him as did the last person to have posted his opinion is disgusting is that behind on a big muff pi Mudhoney setting, it is useless and serves ill ring mod, but it is not made for that!

A good pedal, trying preferably before buying to make sure it is suitable for jobs that we want to do.
