ELECTRO HARMONIX Eddy, Vibrato/Chorus

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Eddy Analog Vibrato & Chorus

Electro-Harmonix Eddy is a pedal that delivers warm, organic analog modulation, but with unique control twists. Utilizing Bucket-brigade technology, it creates rich Chorus and Vibrato effects. However, the greatest distinction of this pedal is the ability to dynamically control the effect using playing intensity (Envelope) or by changing the modulation waveform (LFO shape).

The Envelope control allows you to link your playing dynamics to the effect's speed (Rate) or depth (Depth). For example, you can set it so that a harder strum speeds up the vibrato effect, and as the sound decays, it slows down. The Shape knob lets you transform the LFO waveform from a standard symmetrical to an asymmetrical one, creating rhythmically irregular and unique effects. The additional Tone control allows you to brighten or darken the effect without affecting the direct signal.

Key Features

• Analog Circuit: Bucket-brigade based signal path for a warm tone.
• Two Effects: A switch allows selection between Vibrato and Chorus modes.
• Envelope Control: Allows playing dynamics to control Rate or Depth.
• LFO Shape Warping: The Shape knob alters the modulation waveform (from standard to asymmetrical).
• Tone Control: Allows shaping the brightness of the modulation.
• Expression Input: Ability to control Rate or Depth parameters with an external pedal.
• Visualization: White status LED and blue flashing LED indicating modulation rate and shape.
