    Personally I think EHX should concentrate on new digital effects, I think it is where they are really hitting the mark these days, the Hazarai, Micro pog, Voice box, Hog….brilliant, brilliant pedals that are unique and quite frankly amazing. The designers of these pedals have proved that they can basically ‘do anything’ and imo are leading the way in exciting new ehx products. (and effects pedals in general)

    I don’t think they should stop making new analogue and tube pedals totally, but I feel that maybe there isn’t much left to do in these areas, in the digital realm ehx are proving themselves to be right on the cutting edge and are making things that ’boutique’ builders couldn’t do in their wildest dreams.

    …..so yeah, I say keeep these wonderful mindblowing digital effects coming, imo they are probably the most exciting (and yet affordable) guitar products available at the moment.

    I surprisingly agree… :facepalm:

    EHX has already kicked analog ass enough.

    yeah, despite my entire board being analogue, i agree.

    i don’t necessarily agree that they should concentrate on digital effects, nor do i think they should concentrate on analogue effects…

    as long as they continue making great sounding INNOVATIVE products in their current price range i’ll be very happy.

    i agree that the Haz, Micro Pog, Hog etc standout but there are also pedals such as the Germanium OD which are quite unique.

    I totally agree, but they should still work on making awesome analog effects too.

    Digital stuff is cool :)
    A speaker sim would be awesome.

    And maybe some ultra-weird valve stuff like the Metasonix ones (well, not exactly like them), but at a nicer price? A new Hot Tubes pedal with something extra?

    A bit off-topic, but this reminded me that Line 6 has a programmable FX stompbox, and there are also a few others. One trait that all of them seem to share though is that they require some programming knowledge to be able to create FX. I would like to see something similar, but geared towards the less technologically-inclined, probably by being able to program stuff with some sort of GUI. Something a bit like NI Reaktor, but for programming FX, and then with a compatible stompbox/floor module/whatever.

    I wouldn’t say focus on digital
    but I expect them to keep pushing the envelope with new digital effects that do things that weren’t quite possible before

    That’s a cool idea. I’d have a lot of fun programming effects

    The Flanger Hoax, HOG, the Holiest Grail, the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai, and the Germ OD are my favorite releases since the tube series. 3 out of 5 are digital.

    However, I would love to see a tube powered rotary speaker, and a tube powered cassette-tape delay/modulator :love:

    I agree so long as they continue making all the analog stuff.

    I heard that the octaving section of the regular POG is digital while the input gain preamp is analog. I wanna see some more crazy things that have never been done before, like the voicebox.

    A rotary would be absolutely fantastic. Also, why not just a simple, old school tape delay? A real one–like all the companies are trying to make via digital means. I do agree that digital FX are fun and can make wonderful sounds, but nobody needs to drop analog. Especially not EHX.
