The Electro-Harmonix Adrian Belew Echoflanger Reissue is a limited-edition tribute with all the bells, whistles, warbles, and extremes of the original plus modern construction with a few new tricks (and an old one discovered by Adrian himself). Equal parts smooth operator and agent of chaos, this multi-mode modulator creates classic chorus and flanger sounds with the ability to take the effects beyond the limits to design totally unique and twisted tones. The original 4 modes include Filter Matrix, Flange, Chorus, and Slap Back. 2 new combo modes complete the set: Slap Back + Filter Matrix, and Adrian's signature Flanger + Chorus.

Throughout the decades, Electro-Harmonix pedals have been wielded by pedal heads and true musical innovators. Adrian Belew tops both of those categories with his penchant for sonic tweakery and exploration, and Electro-Harmonix has been part of his signal chain since the early days.

Following his career launching stints with Frank Zappa and David Bowie, during a time of collaboration with the likes of the Talking Heads and the Tom Tom Club, Adrian discovered the tone bending abilities of the EHX Echoflanger, a bucket brigade-based time and pitch modulation effects pedal capable of creating lush chorus and flanger effects as well as completely warped and wiggly sounds outside the traditional effect uses of the time. With Echoflanger in hand, Adrian was inspired to create signature sounds including the steel drum guitar of "Genius of Love" (Tom Tom… read more Club), the elephant of "Elephant Talk" (King Crimson), and the rhino of "The Lone Rhinoceros" (solo).
