Effectology, Vol. 1: Electric Guitar plays Blues Harmonica
Posted 6/2/2009
Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's new "Effectology" series. Over the next several months we're going to play a remarkable collection of EHX-assisted sounds, and explain how they were made.

In the first episode, effect pedal wizard and Chicago studio musician Bill Ruppert transforms his regular electric guitar into a blues harmonica (pedals used: HOG, Micro Synthesizer, Wiggler, Holiest Grail).

Please note: Bill will also be in the EHX Forums to discuss his sounds, settings, and process. We hope you join us there.

The EHX Effectology series was originally inspired by Bill's recreation of the synth intro to The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" (see here). Stay tuned, more Effectology episodes coming soon!

We've been playing these EHX Strings ever since we first took them home to try them out, back in 2002.

We find them to consistently offer rich harmonics with powerful definition, while also lasting longer and staying in tune longer than conventional strings.

We use them, we like them, and we think you will too. Available in 9's, 10's, 11's.
