A kingly serving of powerful, varied fuzz tones explode from this enhanced riff on the classic Tone Bender MK III template.
Sitting between the original vintage vibes of a 2-transistor fuzz and the over-the-top wall of sonic mayhem that is that 4-transistor Big Muff is the humble 3-transistor Tone Bender-style of fuzz known for being punchy with a unique sonic texture. The EHX Bender Royale is Electro-Harmonix’s new take on the Germanium MkIII version of the circuit with a ton of added flexibility to bend your tone even further. From thick and smooth to brash and spitty, the Bender Royale has a range of sounds all its own.
Housed in EHX’s Nano-sized chassis, the Bender Royale builds on a standard control set of VOL, FUZZ and BASS (originally Treble / Bass) controls for an authentic, familiar feel. The FAT switch adds bass and low-mids for tonal thickness. Use the BIAS knob to dial in a sweet spot for the perfect amount of rip or leave the circuit starving for voltage. Switching the CLIP switch from Ge to LED re-biases the final germanium transistor to produce a rougher edge on the fuzz tone. The TREBLE control is an active treble shelving filter used to rein in high frequencies. The BLEND knob mixes between your wet and dry signals and can be especially useful for maintaining clarity when using bass or stacking other drive pedals.
The Bender Royale employs mechanical relay true-bypass switching on a soft footswitch with selectable latching/momentary functionality. Tap the footswitch for normal latch switching function or press and hold for momentary blasts of fuzzy goodness.
The EHX Bender Royale comes equipped with a standard EHX 9 Volt power supply. It is available now and features a U.S. Street Price of $149.00.

It rhymes with cello for a reason—EHX’s new attack filter lends beautiful blooms to every note.
Electro-Harmonix is excited to introduce the Pico Swello Attack Envelope pedal. Inspired by the legendary POG2 ATTACK slider, the core effect of the Swello is a polyphonic attack filter which applies individual volume swells to each note you played, even within chords and through sustained arpeggios. This unique effect is paired with an adjustable Low Pass Filter for smooth swells and envelope filter-style effects.
Housed in EHX’s Pico-sized chassis, the Swello has a simple four knob/one button layout. VOL adjusts the overall output of the pedal while ATTACK sets the attack envelope time. Low ATTACK settings attenuate just the initial attack of your instrument, while higher settings offer epic, long note swells. The Low Pass Filter is controlled by the FILTER button as well as the FREQ and MOD knobs. FILTER engages the LPF and applies an adjustable high or low resonance setting. The FREQ knob sets the cutoff frequency of the LPF and the MOD knob controls the depth and direction of the filter modulation akin to an envelope filter. Turn MOD up from noon for an upward filter sweep or down from noon for a downward filter sweep.
The EHX Pico Swello comes equipped with a standard EHX 9 Volt power supply. It will be available Mid-September and features a U.S. Street Price of $149.50.
Double dip in the modulation whip with Keeley's new twin phaser.
Most effects modify the amplitude of the signal like a distortion or compressor pedal. Others modify the timing of signals like delay and reverb. Guitar phasing is achieved by blending your original signal with a frequency domain altered version of the signal. The frequency modified component can be thought of like an EQ pedal that is rhythmically adjusted. As a result, when the two signals are combined you get the instantly recognizable sound of a... phaser.
There's no better way to make your guitar sound spacey, psychedelic, or "liquid". Phasers and vibes have that instantly recognizable dreamy and other-worldly tone. The Oaxa Phaser gives you double the fun with two independent phasers. Two phasers with slightly different LFO speeds can lead to dramatic and inspiring multidimensional layers and textures. The Oaxa Phaser offers you ten stage, four stage, and uni-vibe phasing all with just three large vintage-style knobs. Alt features offer you a one-knob compressor and an additional low-end depth control. The dual phasers in Oaxa can be run in series or parallel. With true stereo processing and built on our award winning Core series platform, it's perfect for creative stereo effects loops. The Oaxa Phaser sounds so good you'll swear it's analog. It's ideal for creating swirling leads, atmospheric textures, or groovy and funky rhythms.
Versatile Phasing Options: Switch between lush 10-stage, crisp 4-stage, or vintage uni-vibe modes with just three intuitive knobs for effortless control.
True Stereo Power: Run dual phasers in series or parallel, perfect for pairing with stereo reverb and delay in your effects loop, creating expansive, studio-quality soundscapes.
Enhanced Alt Features: A one-knob compressor and low-end depth control add warmth and punch, making every note sing.
Analog Soul, Digital Precision: Built on our award-winning Core series platform, Oaxa delivers the rich, organic warmth of an analog phaser with modern reliability.
