Electro-Harmonix has innovated some of the most creative, tone-twisting effects pedals ever made! Their Intelligent Harmony Machine is no exception, designed to instantly add matching harmonies to what you play. It’s essentially like having one — or even two — guitarists jamming with you at the same time and always in perfect sync!
The EHX Intelligent Harmony Machine allows you to tap into the spellbinding sounds created by multi-lead guitar bands who play exquisite, multi-part harmonised solos. Plus, its ability to apply harmonies ranging from simple to sophisticated will totally transform what you play.
Key Features
- Compact harmony-generating, pitch-shifting powerhouse!
- Impeccable tracking and superb musical tone.
- Two distinct modes: Intelligent Harmony and Polyphonic.
- Intelligent Harmony mode generates diatonic harmonies in a set key based on the single notes you play. The Key Selector and #/- switches provide access to all 12 keys.
- In Polyphonic Override mode you can play single notes and chords. The IHM’s 11-position Interval Selector switch lets you select the harmony.
- In Momentary mode the effect is only active when the footswitch is depressed. Choose from instant shifts or set the time it takes the signal to sweep up and down.
- Mix control sets the mix between your dry and shifted signals. Dry output adds signal routing, control options and flexibility.
- Comes equipped with an EHX 9-volt power supply, and can also run on a 9-volt battery.
Select your key and the Intelligent Harmony Machine will generate single note, diatonic harmonies with a huge range of choices that include both two- and three-part harmonies. Here are your choices:
- 1: 6th Down
- 2: Perfect 4th Down
