The geniuses over at Electro-Harmonix have started a new series on their blog called “Effectology” that display some of the amazing capabilities of the EHX effects when placed into the right hands. In their first installment Bill Ruppert managed to make an electric guitar sound like a blue harmonica using a HOG, Micro Synthesizer, Wiggler and a Holiest Grail.
And in their second installment Bill Ruppert recreated the sound of Pink Floyd’s “On the Run” from “Dark Side of the Moon” (pedals used: Micro Synthesizer, Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai, Frequency Analyzer, Big Muff Pi, Stereo Pulsar). It’s some very impressive stuff.

Electro-Harmonix, one of the largest manufacturer and distributor of vacuum tubes in the world, saved the vacuum tube from eventual extinction when in 1998 they purchased ExpoPul, a Russian factory located in Saratov, Russia. The ExpoPul factory accounts for two-thirds of the world’s production of vacuum tubes and in 2006 Samara Business World sued Electro-Harmonix in a Russian court to try and grab control of the factory.
