History of Electro-Harmonix Pedals

Mike Matthews established Electro-Harmonix in 1968 in New York City. As a musician and electrical engineer, Matthews set out to create effects pedals that would expand the possibilities of guitar tone.

The company's first significant success was the LPB-1 (Linear Power Booster), a straightforward yet powerful preamp that enabled guitarists to attain longer sustain and enormous distortion by pushing their amplifiers harder.

In the early 1970s, Electro-Harmonix launched the Big Muff Pi, a fuzz pedal that quickly became a staple in rock music. Used by legends such as David Gilmour and Carlos Santana, its rich and thick sustain turned it into an instant classic. 

The brand continued to explore new guitar tones with releases like the Small Stone Phaser, Electric Mistress Flanger, and Deluxe Memory Man Delay. Although it paused pedal production in the 1980s, Electro-Harmonix made a strong comeback in the '90s by reissuing classics and introducing new designs.

Today, Electro-Harmonix offers many effects, ranging from fuzz and distortion to reverb, delay, and synth-style modulation. It continues to be one of the most respected names in the pedal industry, trusted by musicians around the globe.
