Hey guys,
we all now now much esteem this pedal is held in so hopefully someone can help me out.
i've an acoustic gig 2nite but i'm not sure about using my EH-2. i find it harder to hear what it's doin to it beacuse the guitar has new strings and they seem to be pretty bright as it is so can someone tell me what it is exactly that the 3 knobs control again? the book's a bit vague.
also has anybody got any favorite settings for this pedal?
thanks! |

The MIX control will have the most noticable audible effect on the instrument's sound quality. The FREQ and SENS adjust which part of the audio spectrum gets the enriched harmonic content and at what level of input signal the content is added, respectively.

| so does that mean if you wanted to boost the low end's clarity you'd set the freq knob low, mix knob low and sens knob high? |

The MIX knob isn't really frequency altering -- what I think that it's doing is altering the harmonic content that gets added. With my guitar, which has humbucking pickups, I get something that sounds a little more like single-coil on the INV side, kind of scooped in the midrange. NOR side sounds much like the original tone.
The FREQ knob adjusts which range of audio gets the harmonic enrighment, but I think that it only goes so low -- it's purpose seems mainly to be to restore lost high frequency content to the signal. Other harmonic exciters (dbx, Aphex et al) will work on both the high and as well as the low end, the latter with subharmonics. If the low end is what you are lacking then that might be the sort of exciter you should be working with.
