Electro-Harmonix Unveils the Holy Grail Neo

EHX's latest edition to their reverb lineup.

New York, NY (March 17, 2015) -- Responding to requests by pedalboard users for a compact pedal that includes plate reverb, Electro-Harmonix has added the Holy Grail Neo to its lineup. The pedal is housed in EHX's die-cast nano chassis and also features the perennially popular spring and hall reverbs.

A three-position toggle switch lets the user select the reverb style and the Reverb knob acts as a wet/dry control. As it is turned clockwise, more reverb and less dry instrument can be heard.

The Holy Grail Neo is equipped with True Bypass to ensure maximum signal path integrity when the effect is in bypass mode. It can be powered by a 9 Volt battery and is shipped with an EHX9.6DC power supply. The U.S. List Price is $163.37.

EHX's current reverb pedal lineup includes the compact Holy Grail (Spring, Hall and Flerb, i.e. reverb+flanging), the slightly larger Holy Grail Plus (Spring, Hall, Flerb and Room), the Holy Grail Max (Spring, Hall, Reverse and Plate) and the award winning Cathedral Stereo Reverb (nine different studio-quality programs).

Computerized processes have given repair techs the power to deliver you a better-playing guitar. But how do they work?

When we need to get our guitars fixed by a professional, a few nagging questions run through our heads: Will the repair specialist be thorough? Will their procedures ensure an optimal sounding and easy-to-play instrument, or will they merely perform cursory work to make the guitar somewhat playable without resolving underlying issues? Have they followed the tested advancements in understanding, tools, and techniques, or are they stuck in the ideas of the ’70s?

Plenty of excellent musicians work day jobs to put food on the family table. So where do they go to meet their music community?

Being a full-time musician is a dream that rarely comes to pass. I’ve written about music-related jobs that keep you close to the action, and how more and more musicians are working in the music-gear industry, but that’s not for everyone. Casual players and weekend warriors love music as much as the hardcore guitarists who are bent on playing full time, but they may have obligations that require more consistent employment.
