In the late 1960s, a small New York company called Electro-Harmonix began making what we’d today consider to be “boutique” stomp boxes. Looking back, it’s easy to see why musicians were blown away by the sound of these boxes, as well as their innovative features. When the company stopped production in the 1980s, the originals became expensive collector’s items that fetched almost absurd prices.
But today those early Electro-Harmonix effects are available again, and they’re built to the exacting specifications of the original units, and now we’re carrying them at Sweetwater! The Electric Mistress is a reproduction of the same flange pedal Jimi Hendrix fell in love with, while the Small Stone‘s phase shifting can produce anything from subtle rotating speaker effects to full-on swooshing. The Deluxe Memory Man delivers up to 550ms of warm analog delay, along with a sweet chorus/vibrato effect that’s been heard on countless hits. Finally, the Big Muff Pi is the ultimate, over-the-top, all-stops-pulled-out distortion pedal. A specially designed circuit gives it a fat fuzz tone with sustain for days. All of these pedals are in stock and ready to ship to your door!
