Electro-Harmonix Effects Pedals: Discover the Origins of Fuzz

Founded in 1968 when the now-legendary Mike Matthews quit his day job as an electrical engineer at IBM in favor of building fuzz pedals, Electro-Harmonix has since become one of the most influential brands in effects pedals -- and music in general. Their flagship pedal, the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, has seen countless iterations -- and has found its way into some of history's most iconic recordings. Not a one-trick-pony by any means, Electro-Harmonix has mastered every corner of the effects spectrum. There's an EHX pedal for literally any playing style!
