A Classic EHX Effect - Reinvented

Originally released during the 1980s as a Tape Reverse Simulator, the EHX Attack Decay is a much-coveted effect by pedal enthusiasts. In fact, due to the low numbers initially created, these pedals can often fetch upwards of £600 on the second hand market!

Renowned for its volume and reverse swells, backward tape sounds, artificial staccatos, and E-Bow-like effects, the Attack Decay was seen as a must-have for experimental guitarists everywhere.

Im addition to these same classic functions, the new Attack Decay features some modern features for enhanced functionality and convenience.

New Features

First all off, although the new Attack Decay can produce a single volume envelope (like the original), this new version also has a Poly switch, which can separate each note you play into its own independent volume envelope!

Secondly, there's also a built-in Harmonix Fuzz circuit, which is a fully controllable distortion with Gain, Tone, and Volume controls.

Next there's a built in Effects Loop, with Send and Return sockets on the pedal, allowing you to place the volume envelope onto whatever signal the Return jack is receiving.

Finally, you also get an Expression Pedal/CV input, alongside three user-definable Presets, giving you total control over the Attack Decay's effects!
