Intelligent Harmony Machine
The EHX Intelligent Harmony Machine instantly creates matching harmonies to what you play. It's like having one - or even two - guitarists jamming with you at the same time and always in perfect sync. The Intelligent Harmony Machine opens a door to the music of great multi-lead guitar bands and multi-part harmonized solos. Plus, its ability to apply harmonies ranging from simple to sophisticated will totally transform what you play. Of course, it also boasts EHX's renowned impeccable tracking and genuine musical tone.
Select your key and the Intelligent Harmony Machines will generate single note, diatonic harmonies with a huge range of choices that includes both two- and three-part harmonies. Here are your choices:
1: 6th Down
2: Perfect 4th Down
3: 3rd Down
4: 3rd Up
5: Perfect 4th Up

7: 6th Up
8: 7th Up
9: 3rd Up + 7th Up
10: 3rd Up + 7th Up

The Intelligent Harmony Machine's Moment Mode lets you instantly change pitch by simply depressing the pedal's footswitch. The pitch shift is engaged as long as you hold down the F/S. There's also an option so you can apply a user-set sweep time between dry and effect. Choose instant pitch changes or control the time it takes for the Intelligent Harmony Machine to sweep up and down between the set interval and the dry signal!
