The circa-1980 Electro-Harmonix Attack Decay is a sought after prize among vintage pedal aficionados. Originally called a Tape Reverse Simulator, it’s known for producing volume and reverse swells, backward tape sounds, artificially short staccato notes and bowed instrument effects.

The new Attack Decay reinterprets the classic and keeps its cool factor, but adds some modern features for convenience and enhanced functionality.

It can produce a single volume envelope like the original, or, with Poly engaged, put separate volume envelopes on each note you play. The built-in Harmonix fuzz is now a fully controllable distortion with gain, tone and volume controls. The effects loop allows the musician or sound designer to place the volume envelope onto whatever signal is present at the Return jack. Expression pedal/CV input and three user presets give the user total control over their Attack Decay!

Electro Harmonix

Electro-Harmonix (EHX) is an American company known for manufacturing electronic audio equipment, particularly effects pedals for musicians. Founded in 1968 by Mike Matthews, the company is headquartered in New York City. EHX gained fame in the 1970s for creating innovative and iconic guitar pedals that shaped the sound of modern music, most notably the Big Muff Pi distortion pedal, used by numerous legendary guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, and Jack White.

Financial struggles in early 1980s

The company initially thrived by producing various effects pedals, including fuzz, distortion, and delay units. However, EHX faced financial struggles in the early 1980s, leading to a temporary halt in production. In the 1990s, the company relaunched and resumed production, continuing to innovate and expand its product lineup to include effects for bass, synthesizers, and other instruments. Electro-Harmonix pedals are known for their high-quality, unique sound, and durability, making them a favorite among musicians in genres ranging from rock and punk to experimental and electronic music. Today, the brand is recognized worldwide for its contributions to audio effects and maintains a strong presence in the music industry.
