History of Electro Harmonixįounded in the late 1960s by Mike Matthews, this New York-based company has become one of the most established pedal brands in the guitar industry. Thousands of notorious guitarists and bassists have used EHX pedals since, and they continue to draw in modern players with their forward-thinking products. One of their most famous early users includes David Gilmour, who used the Big Muff Pi Fuzz and Electric Mistress Flanger to pioneer Pink Floyd’s groundbreaking rock sound in the 70s. In the 21st Century, the company continues to pioneer new circuits, regularly releasing fresh, innovative pedals to captivate guitarists that are seeking to expand their tonal palettes. Known for their experimental and “out-there” guitar pedal designs, EHX’s ethos has largely remained unchanged, even five decades later.
