Electro Harmonix Mod 11 Modulator

A ton of guitar effects in one pedal. You even have a mix option(sub menu) for many of them( for example in flanger , most pedals dont offer a mix knob) . Most effects sound great right of the bat. Tremolo, Chorus, Pitch( if you turn off the time based effect by turning the rate CCW), Harm Tremolo, FLange, TZF Flange, Univibe I find the Rotary mediocre, a bit too muddy and dark for my taste ( one of the hardest time based effects to accurately replicate ) The filter effect needs some tweaking to sound great. The vibrotrem sounds mediocre too. Its very reasonably priced, small packed ,quality ,sturdy product. Made me sell a great flanger pedal after an A / B comparison , it sounds as good but more versatile with the mix option. Cons Cant make the Phase effect to sound good, tried different positions in the chain. Too much whoosh in there and I cant make it to sound like a classic phaser but maybe thats just me. Most LFO shapes(altough welcome) arent useful to me. Personal thing, bring on the hate. Not a great fan of the LFO options offered, I kept the default settings in almost all of the effects. I only like changing LFOs on the Trems. Lack of stereo option. Use a power supply othen than what EHX provided you and the pedal will sound worse. And its not about the current draw. Same thing happens with the Oceans 11. The pedal appears to be harder to handle than it really is. To unlock the pedals full potential you have to spend time with the sub menu. I always read the manual if Im trying something new. There are 3 chorus modes available through the mode button, if you change the sub menu settings on one mode , it affects all of them. Tap tempo isnt available on all effects. Cant really understand why. Finally take this review with a grain of salt, Im no expert after all. In conclusion

Great little pedal for the price

I am not a mod nut but do like to enrich my sound - this pedal makes it easy to dial in more traditional chorus, flange, trem, etc - and by accessing secondary modes and features you can go pretty wild and custom with a whole host of secondary controls.

I like that it enables you to do simple but allows you to experiment! I don't know if it is the "best sounding" of any one effect, but they are all good enough for me. The only exception is Tremolo where for some reason my Keeley Verb o Trem can't be beat.

Good versatile pedal

It is a very versatile modulation pedal

11 Modulations by EHX

If you feel you need a pedal with a bunch of different effects, this one really is one of the best options around. I'll be able to perform a huge variety of sounds in concerts because of this little compact thing.

The only thing which "bugges me" its the mode option button, which I think should be placed bellow the knobs, to become of easier use.

Pro:

+ Great sounding effects

+ Power supply included

+ Customizable modes with secondary knob functions: each mode can have up to 5 editable parameters

+ Also has momentary mode: effect can be activated for the duration you hold the footswitch down

Con:

- Doesn't save every setting of the individual modes when switching between them, e.g.: you'll probably have to readjust the knobs when going from tremolo to filter

- It turns on, when cycling power, even if it was on bypass before

In conclusion, I'm happy with my purchase. I think it's worth the price if you're looking for an all-purpose modulation effect.

Fantastic pedal, crazy good features and sounds!

This pedal might seem unimpressive, but its sounds and features rival even the most expensive modulation multi-effects. Almost every modulation type has multiple modes and multiple hidden parameters, so you can tweak to your hearts desire. And boy do they sound good. And the most impressive feature is the envelope modes, where the depth or rate of an effect reacts to the force of your strumming. That is something that way more expensive units tend not to have. So much fun! Highly recommend!
