Nancy Wilson and her sister Ann showed the world that women can rock when their band Heart first shot up the charts in the 1970s with a string of hits like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man” and “Barracuda.” Now, with over 35,000,000 albums sold and the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nancy is still rocking.
In the July 2013 issue of Premier Guitar magazine, Nancy, described as a “Goddess of Rhythm,” talks about the journey and her gear. EHX is proud that Nancy uses a Holy Grail reverb and Small Stone phase shifter.
Sean Kerns demos the Switchblade+ which offers a convenient solution to a player’s switching needs. Route your signal to either output A or B, or send it to both at once. Connect a tuner or effects pedal to its dedicated Tuner output. The Switchblade+ is completely passive and only uses electric to power its LED.
The EHX 8 Step Program plugs into the expression pedal or CV input of other effects pedals and synthesizers delivering rhythmic sequencer control. With eight independent sliders, each controlling a sequence step, it can turn an ordinary auto-wah into a step filter, a tremolo into a syncopated pulse effect and a pitch-shifter into an arpeggiator.
This eye-popping video, shot less than a mile from EHX headquarters at Carousel Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, provides a peak into the sound sculpting power of the new 8 Step Program!
Man, that thing’s got some low end. John Altieri, uses an EHX Bass MicroSynth on tour with David Byrne and with his own band, Red Baraat, while performing on sousaphone!

Our new EHX 9Volt Battery is the classic carbon zinc type that has a higher internal resistance than an alkaline battery. This reduces circuit loading, especially in vintage effects pedals, to provide the best tone and dynamics.
Our new EH Strings allow you to capture every nuance of your playing style with lightning fast playability. Made of a pure nickel wrap with a specially-selected stainless steel, these sweet-sounding round wounds are truly like no other strings you've played. Not only do they last longer and stay in tune longer, but we think they're the best sounding strings ever made. Available in 9s, 10s and 11s.
