We had a blast checking out all of the new products being unveiled at the recent Summer NAMM show, but the newest XO pedals from the boys at Electro-Harmonix were some of the biggest highlights. Expanding on EH’s reputation for creating unique sounds and tones, these boxes are poised to deliver. Here’s a quick peek at what Mike Matthews and his cohorts have up their sleeves.



Stereo Electric Mistress
Generate slithering, panoramic Axis: Bold As Love textures. Players can manually flange or freeze sound in the Filter Matrix mode. Use Chorus and Flanger together for ultra rich modulations. This mistress is colorful and seductive in stereo!
 

Germanium OD
Get that classic ‘60s overdrive sound from genuine germanium transistors. Bias and Volts controls let you easily dial in that perfect vintage germanium tone. Need proof? Head online to ehx.com and listen to the online demo – you’ll be a convert.
 

Holy Grail +
This upgrade of the Holy Grail adds graceful Room Reverb and a multi-function control for reverb time, damping, and modulation speed. The Grail just got a little more divine!

Knockout
A powerful two-filter combination makes your humbuckers sound like single coils and your Strat sound like a Tele. Use it after distortion for the heavyweight punch of the metal masters. This pedal is amazing when used on bass!
 

Holy Stain
Righteous multi-effect possibilities emerge when Reverbs, Pitch Shifting and celestial Tremolo meld with pure analog Drive and Fuzz. The brilliance of the Stain lies in the dynamic interaction of its controls – create novel tonal metaphors. This is a pedal that could only come from the mad scientists at EH.

Micro POG
Makes your six-string ring like a 12. Make your four-string bass pump like an eight. Convert your guitar into a tight, convinving bass. Generate organ-like harmonic structres. The Micro POG promises fast, glitch-free polyphonic tracking.
 

#1 Echo
Up to two seconds of delay with a warm analog style decay. This pedal sits beautifully in any track or performance. EH has a long reputation for creating quality delays and this number is a prime example.

Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai
It’s an echo, a multi-tap delay, a reverse echo, and a performance looper with up to 30 seconds of loop time, all in true stereo. Featuring tap tempo, vintage tape echo fi ltering, and eight programmable presets... it’s got all the Hazarai. Designed for the performing musician and destined to be one of the most creative tools on your pedalboard.
