White Finger

Analog Optical Compressor
Let There Be White! Just like its cousin the Black Finger, the White Finger yields transparent, long sustain that preserves attack. Two optocouplers (LED and lamp) offer distinctly different readings and uniquely varied compressions. The White Finger features multiple FETs instead of vacuum tubes, making it the affordable alternative.

EHX Strings
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.
