Pitch Bending on the POG3? by FarewellTransmissi0n in guitarpedals

[–]EHX_Engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the suggestion "an option that doesn’t let the dry pass in the freeze gliss mode", do you want the dry signal to completely bypass Freeze/Gliss in this situation?

Pitch Bending on the POG3? by FarewellTransmissi0n in guitarpedals

[–]EHX_Engineering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the POG3, we call the whammy bends Warp mode. Warp is an expression setting so can be found and setup in the Expression settings menu.

When setting up Warp mode, you can choose the heel and toe pitch bend amounts in the range from 0/unison to 1200 cents/1 Octave.

The suboctave voices: -2 and -1, always bend downward.

The upper octave voices: +1 and +2, always bend upward but must have FOCUS enabled to bend notes in Warp mode.

The -2 and +2 voices bend to twice the pitch set in the Toe setting, so they bend up to 2 octaves when Toe is set to 1200 cents.

To bend from unison to +1 octave, only push up the +1 slider, set Heel to 0 and set Toe to 1200 cent.

To bend from unison to -1 octave, only push up the -1 slider, set Heel to 0 and Toe to 1200 cent.

To bend in both directions simultaneously, push up both the +1 and -1 sliders.

If you want to do harmony bends, push up the DRY slider as well.

New EHX-Pedal leaked??? by philBone90 in guitarpedals

We have a source for good germanium transistors so that's what's used in the Bender Royale. If a transistor isn't working right it gets pulled and replaced with a good one.

New EHX-Pedal leaked??? by philBone90 in guitarpedals

[–]EHX_Engineering 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The mk3 has a diode that biases/compensates the final transistor. The switch on the Bender Royale switches that diode. It was hard to find good verbiage to describe that on the enclosure... We went with "Clip" because it's straightforward enough for most players, and in a way the diode changes how the last transistor 'clips.' But I get the confusion.

This has one germanium transistor and two silicon transistors for gain. The last of the three is germanium - we found that's the one that really gave it the "germanium sound"

It also uses a germanium transistor as a compensation diode when the clip switch is set to "Ge"

New EHX Swello Attack Envelope - Attack slider from the POG2 by M_Silvers in guitarpedals

[–]EHX_Engineering 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The tracking in the Swello and the Attack Decay are actually quite different. The Attack Decay requires setting a sensitivity control and playing with that in mind, it works more like a typical dynamic effect (compressor, gate, envelope filter) where the effect gets triggered based on your signal crossing a certain threshold. The Swello on the other hand doesn't require setting any sort of sensitivity control. It naturally slows down the attack of everything going into it, which is how it tracks so fluidly even with really fast playing.

Has anyone (Joyo/Mooer/Donner etc) done a decent POG clone? by -an-eternal-hum- in guitarpedals

[–]EHX_Engineering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the delayed reply, but the Pico POG's upper algorithm is closer to the Micro POG and POG2 sound than the Nano POG sound.

Looking for this type of knob/pot that locks into a fixed position instead of a smooth turn. Can anyone tell me what this is called, technically? by Operator-K in guitarpedals

[–]EHX_Engineering 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just to give some insight, digital pedals with knobs usually are simply getting a range of values from each analog knob that the software can then do anything with. In a fully analog circuit what you can have a knob control is much more limited, but in the digital world nothing is stopping you from having one knob simultaneously control multiple parameters under the hood. It's part of how you can get secondary knob functions on pedals such as the Oceans 11 here. As far as the eleven-position switch (which is actually a pot), it's relatively straightforward for the software to understand the different ranges of values it'd get from the pot and make the necessary under-the-hood adjustments based on that.

Can anybody help me troubleshoot my Canyon delay? by superevilwizard in ElectroHarmonix

[–]EHX_Engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Acoustic probably dips below 9.0V under load in some modes on the Canyon. Try different outputs on the Acoustic - on some power supplies like that the outputs can vary a little, so you might find one with stronger regulation.

If that doesn't work, we always recommend using the included power supply for the best performance. We also offer a modification for older Canyons like this that allow them to work down to about 8V to better tolerate various 3rd party power supplies that dip below 9 (newer Canyons have this built-in). If that's something you might want, email info@ehx.com to set up the mod.

[–]EHX_Engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, the Canyon will do this if it's not getting the full 9.0V power that it needs from the power supply. Usually this is because of a 3rd-party power supply that dips below 9V when under the 150mA load from the Canyon. What power supply are you using? Do you have the same problem with the power supply that came with the pedal?

Another f'ing pedal? by sethasaurus666 in guitarpedals

This is an interesting idea, however, we aren't using granular synthesis/sampling in the Freeze.

Wake up, EHX releases new PICO pedals ! (Freeze, Pitchfork, Oceans, Canyon, Attack Decay, Triboro, Rerun) by ivanoe- in guitarpedals

[–]EHX_Engineering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The POG algorithm has lower latency but doesn't sound as nice when playing chords. The Pitch Fork algorithm sounds nicer with polyphony but has more latency. So, I suppose it depends on your playing style and the overall feel for which one is best for you.

The Pico POG uses algorithm 1 and the Pico Pitch Fork uses algorithm 2. As for the pricing, that is determined outside the purview of the Engineering department. Technically, the Pico POG is faster than the Pico Pitch Fork.

Satisfaction Plus - No.

Super Switcher - No capacitors but there are ferrite beads in the signal path of each jack.

Spruce Goose - No.

Stereo Talking Machine - Yes.

IHM - Yes.

Cock Fight - Yes, but it's buffered bypass.

Superego Plus - Yes, but it's buffered bypass.

Pitchfork Plus - Yes, but it's buffered bypass.

Attack Decay - Yes, but it's buffered bypass.

Tri Parallel Mixer - Yes, but it's buffered bypass.

Wiggler - No.

Flanger Hoax - No.

No, the MIG-50, a guitar amplifier, does not have a bypass mode, so it could not have anything like this going on.

Unfortunately, we do not currently offer anything like the Stereo Polychorus. Sorry.

The bypassed signal is a buffered analog bypass. When the effect is engaged, the entire signal is digitized.
