    Hi. I ordered a Flanger Hoax which is due to arrive tomorrow. The instruction PDF stipulates that I am to only use the 18V 500mA adapter that ships with it. The spreadsheet here shows that the FH requires 75 mA. I have an unused 18V 100mA power source in my S8. Is that safe to use to power the pedal? Thanks.

    Is your unused power supply 18VDC or 18VAC? Before you attempt to use the 18VDC/100mA power supply, make sure the output plug is center-positive and the size is 5.5 x 2.5 (mm). Otherwise, yes, 100mA should be sufficient to power the Flanger Hoax.

    The S8 has one 18V 150mA output, not 100mA as I previously stated. It is center negative so I will need a polarity reversal cable as the Flanger Hoax requires 18V center positive. Thanks.

    Yes, you have it right. A Voodoo Labs PPL6 cable should do the trick.

    Hi. The PPL6-R works fine. Thanks.

    “We hope to release the windows version of the 1440 app by the end of this week.”

    Cool. I see that it is there now, and I downloaded it. I just bought a Flanger Hoax and a Wiggler withing the last week, but this is next up on my wish list.

    I’m just a hobby player, nothing all that great. Play an old Highway One Tele through a BJ. A bit of the easier Hendrix, some blues, some Waylon and Hank and such. I’ve never owned a pedal in my life – but I’m going to take the plunge. I’m gonna’ give EHX a try first because they seem to be reviewed pretty well, the company story is cool, and they’re different.

    I’m asking for suggestions. Don’t want to break the bank and spend more on pedals than I have in the amp and guitar, and I don’t have the patience to build an entire board with half a dozen buttons to stomp anyway. So, what are the “essentials” for something like that ? Seems like the East River Drive or Soul Food would be the way to go – as long as either lets the tone knob cut down the bass to keep the amp from getting gassy.

    Anyway – any tips would be appreciated. And Thanks.

    EDIT – and I asked this question a couple years ago – before I bought the amp. So just following up, in my cheap a$$ miserly way. Thanks again.

    Hi. If you are looking for a dirt pedal, I highly recommend the English Muff’n. It has been discontinued but still available from authorized dealers. No clipping diodes, transistors, or ICs are in the signal path. It ships with a pair of 12AY7 valves, which may be switched out for -X7 or -U7. It’s based on the gain stages and tone stacks of 60s Marshalls with Volume, Gain, Treble, Midrange, and Bass controls. https://www.ehx.com/products/english-muff-n

    The Graphic Fuzz has, in my opinion, the best solid state distortion of any pedal. Its name implies a fuzz, but the pedal control is labeled Overdrive. To me it sounds more like an overdrive. It also contains a 6-band EQ, and controls for Overdrive, Dynamics, Sustain, and Volume. The Dynamics control provides attack response to your playing which is often lost in the compression of solid state pedals. https://www.ehx.com/products/graphic-fuzz

    Hello EHX forum, newbie Mr. John here. Not a newbie to EXH though: Bought my first EXH pedals mail order in 1980 or so, LPB1 and Small Stone (still have ’em, they still work!).


    Earlier this year I got a new LPB1 to finally retire the original. (BTW the new one is very very close, nearly identical sounding to the original one. It’s a little cleaner and the switch is quieter. The oldie is a little more “raw” sounding. [em]—AND THERE’S MY FIRST REVIEW!![/em] :cheese:).


    In April, a friend gifted me with a Fuzzy Surprise: An Octavix just showed up in the mail one day. Initially, I thought I might’ve accidentally purchased it since I had been looking at them a short while before. (Turned out it was a birthday present! Thanks again BW!) Anyhow, I loved the new fuzz, but thought it needed just a hint of phase shifter to get things a little more psychedelic…


    My old Small Stone (and a couple of other oldies from companies that will remain unnamed) proved my hunch that indeed, phase shift and fuzz are always fun together (I call it the [em]Fuzz Shifter[/em]). But it would have to be a [em]new phase shifter[/em], to compliment the new fuzz…


    Enter the new Bad Stone a few weeks later…followed by the Flanger Hoax shortly after that…a Graphic Fuzz and Memory Toy somewhere along the way…


    So I’ve decided that’s a good start to building a new, “All EHX” pedalboard. S8 Multi power supply and OD Glove on the way right now. Will probably get the wah wah next. Not sure how far this will go, and most likely all the weirdest stuff won’t go on there but mostly gig-able sounds: boost/od, chorus, reverb, echo, phase.


    I’m a big Hendrix fan and tend to use fuzz, wah, phase shift, and some trippy echo once in a while. Also a big Blues fan, Surf Guitar buff, Heavy Metal aficionado, Country Western, Punk Rock, etc etc kind of guy. Lately been playing with a covers band that does material ranging from 50’s stuff up to current songs so I need to be able to cover a lot of the basic sounds for ‘classic’ rock type stuff. So, kinda need a pedalboard of some sort… this one’s gonna be ALL EHX!!

    So, Hello again, and it’s nice to be here. Will provide reviews down the line for all the EHX I’ve got, and as stuff gets added down the line. See ya on the forum!!!

    Hello. Welcome to the forum. I am also an all EHX pedal user. My favorites are the English Muff’n (you will never use solid state distortion again) and the Stereo Polyphase. I just ordered one of the last NOS Flanger Hoaxes that I could find, and it is due to arrive tomorrow. I’m sure it will quickly become one of my favorites. I love modulation pedals (except for delay – I can’t stand it except for maybe the stereo ping pong in the Cathedral).

    Update: After some in-house testing, and due to the beat frequency between the L and R audio signals, EHX has determined that it is working as designed.

    I’m looking for a dipswitch on the PCB of a Cockfight pedal. According to the manual:

    On the PCB there is a small DIP switch that changes
    FUZZ OFF to FUZZ THROUGH mode. In FUZZ THROUGH mode the filter section
    is bypassed and removed from the signal path. In this mode the knobs FREQ,
    BOTTOM and switch CRY/TALK have no effect on the sound.

    Here’s a pic: https://ibb.co/Db1wTRn

    Let me know if you can find it. Thanks

    If I remember correctly, early versions of the Cock Fight did not have this option.

    If you mean the foot switch, it is a silent switch that people love as it does not make a loud click like the old ones.

    All three of the footswitches on my Super Pulsar are silent. I wish all of them on all my pedals were that way. I’m not big on modifications, but I might have to start replacing the “click” switches with silent ones after the warranty expires on each of the pedals.

    From what I have read, the Spring and Hall are the same. Someone please correct me if that is wrong. The big difference is that the Nano has Flerb and the Neo instead has a beautiful Plate reverb. I own the Cathedral and I use the Plate more than any of the others.

    I paid $80 for mine, NOS from an authorized dealer back in April. The cradle was another $15.
