Effectology, Vol.13 “Pink Floyd Synth Effects”
Posted 2/25/2010

Sonic master Bill Ruppert reproduces the legendary Pink Floyd synth textures from “Welcome To The Machine .“ Using only his guitar and the perfect blend of EH pedals, Bill re-creates the amazing sound-scapes that made this recording special. Each EH pedal provides its own magic to reveal the complexity and textures of the EMS VC3 synthesizer with stunning accuracy.

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

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.
