The Electro Harmonix Effects Interface Hardware Plugin is a compact, multipurpose interface pedal that lets you blend your favourite stompboxes and software plugins into one seamless hybrid rig. Designed for both studio and stage, it makes it effortless to send DAW tracks out to your pedals, run your guitar through in the box effects, or simply use it as a straightforward 2 in 2 out USB audio interface, all via a single USB C connection.
Instead of juggling reamp boxes, DI units and complicated routing, the Effects Interface gives you a clean, intuitive way to move audio between your computer and your physical gear. Whether you want to warm up virtual instruments with a preamp pedal, turn a plugin into a pedalboard ready effect, or track ideas straight into your DAW, this pedal keeps your workflow fast and creative.
At its heart are three flexible operating modes that cover most real world scenarios. Hardware Plugin Mode lets you treat your pedals like outboard processors on any DAW track. Pedalboard Mode flips the script, turning your plugins into part of your live signal chain. Audio Interface Mode gives you a reliable stereo USB interface with dedicated level controls and headphone monitoring, ideal for recording, practising and mixing.
With stereo inputs and outputs, level sliders and a dedicated headphone output, the Effects Interface is equally at home on a desk or a pedalboard. It is a powerful solution for guitarists, producers and sound designers who want the tactile feel of real pedals and the flexibility of modern plugins without the usual technical headaches.
Three Flexible Operating Modes
The Effects Interface operates in Hardware Plugin Mode, Pedalboard Mode and Audio Interface Mode, so it can adapt to how you work. Use it to send DAW tracks through pedals, route your live instrument through plugins, or function as a traditional 2 in 2 out USB audio interface, all from the same compact unit.
Hardware Plugin Mode
In Hardware Plugin Mode you can insert your favourite pedals into DAW sessions just like software plugins. Route vocals through an analogue delay, horns through a wah, or MIDI instruments through a preamp pedal, and enjoy the familiar hands on control of real hardware while keeping all the convenience of in the box mixing.
Pedalboard Mode
Pedalboard Mode lets you feed your guitar or instrument into the DAW, process it with plugins, then return it to your physical signal chain. This effectively turns any plugin into a pedal you can place in your rig, so you can run a software preamp into a live amp or add unique plugin only effects to your board without changing your playing setup.
Audio Interface Functionality
Used as a standard USB audio interface, the Effects Interface provides two inputs and two outputs with stereo operation, plus a headphone output with its own volume control. This makes it a simple, tidy solution for recording, practising silently, or monitoring your hybrid pedal and plugin setups directly from your computer.
Key Features
- Multipurpose Studio and Stage Interface Pedal – Designed to sit comfortably on a desk or pedalboard, the Effects Interface bridges the gap between live rigs and recording setups, so you can use the same core tools in rehearsal, on stage and in the studio.
- Hardware Plugin Mode for Pedal Integration – Treat your pedals like DAW plugins by routing tracks out through the Effects Interface and back in again, giving you tactile control and analogue character on any recorded source without complex reamping chains.
- Pedalboard Mode for Plugin Integration – Turn your favourite plugins into part of your physical signal chain by sending your instrument into the DAW and back to your board, unlocking sounds that only exist in software while keeping your familiar playing environment.
- 2 In 2 Out USB Audio Interface with Monitoring – Use the unit as a straightforward stereo USB interface with level sliders and a dedicated headphone output, providing clear, controllable monitoring for recording, practising and mixing with minimal extra gear.
