Electro-Harmonix ABOUT Electro-Harmonix
Electro-Harmonix was founded by Mike Matthews in October 1968. Their first product was a fuzz pedal called the "Axis Fuzztone." Later, they collaborated with Bob Meyer, a former Nobel Prize-winning engineer at Bell Labs, to create the original linear power booster, the "LPB-1." Despite being available only through mail order, this model became a huge hit, helping to establish the Electro-Harmonix brand. This was followed by the release of the legendary "Big Muff" in late 1969, and in the 1970s, they released a string of still-popular models, including the Small Stone and Memory Man, which enjoyed strong sales. Despite the company's success in the 1970s, the company faced labor union and parts supply issues in the 1980s, resulting in bankruptcy in 1984. Mike Matthews then traveled to the former Soviet Union and founded a new company, New Sensor Corp., in 1988. Under the "Sovtec" brand, the company has made a comeback as a comprehensive music equipment manufacturer, producing a succession of products including vacuum tubes, effects pedals, and amplifiers. In 1991, it regained the Electro-Harmonix trademark it had once lost, and in 2002 returned to its New York base, where it continues to deliver unique effects pedals to countless players around the world.
A versatile compressor that's not limited by playing style: the "Soul Preacher" is a silky, long-sustaining compressor/sustainer. Its ATTACK switch allows you to select between three attack settings, providing excellent compression for guitar and bass, regardless of your playing style. With its wide range of control, this unit offers a wide range of compression effects, so why not give it a try? Two-knob, one-switch sound control: Despite its compact size, it features a three-level attack switch.
■ SUSUTAIN: Adjusts the amount of effect (compression strength).
■ VOL: Controls the output level. Use it to compensate for level reductions caused by compression or to boost the sound.
■ATTACK: Switches the compression character (attack and decay).
●fast: The entire signal is compressed, the compressor responds quickly, and distortion is slightly increased. This setting is suitable for increasing the SUSTAIN control for stronger compression.
●med: The compressor does not activate the initial sound when the string is picked, allowing it to pass through, resulting in a clear, bright attack. This setting has a sense of groove and is the most common setting.
●slow: The edge passes through completely, then becomes compressed. This setting is suitable for rhythm playing, such as funk chords. Set SUSTAIN to around 12 o'clock. Power: 9V battery or 9V DC center-negative adapter JP9.6DC-200 (sold separately).
*When using an adapter, be sure to use the genuine adapter JP9.6DC-200 (sold separately).
