EHX Electro-Harmonix Canyon delay and looper pedal
EHX Electro-Harmonix Canyon is a ultra-compact delay and looper pedal known for packing 11 distinct effect modes into a standard single-sized guitar pedal. It is highly regarded by musicians as a "Swiss Army knife" because it combines pristine digital delays, warm vintage emulations, exotic pitch-shifted effects, and a built-in phrase loop recorder into a space-saving footprint.
Core Features
11 Unique Modes: Includes 10 diverse delay styles and a dedicated looper.
Tap Tempo & Subdivisions: Built-in footswitch tap tempo with a "Tap Divide" button to choose rhythmic subdivisions (quarter, eighth, or dotted-eighth notes).
Secondary Knob Controls: Allows the four main knobs to tweak hidden parameters like modulation speed, pitch intervals, or special effect depths.
Tails Switch: An internal switch allows the delay repeats to fade out naturally after the pedal is bypassed, rather than cutting off abruptly.
Mono Signal Path: Features standard mono input and output jacks, plus an optional jack for an external tap tempo switch.
Onboard Effect Modes
The 11-position mode knob selects between the following styles:
ECHO: Clean, crystal-clear digital delay (5ms to 3 seconds).
MOD: Modulated delay that adds a lush chorus or vibrato shimmer to your repeats.
MULTI: Multi-tap delay where multiple echoes repeat at precise rhythmic intervals.
REVRS: Reverse delay that plays your repeated notes backward for psychedelic textures.
DMM: A high-quality emulation of the legendary Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man analog bucket-brigade delay.
TAPE: Tape echo emulation that simulates the warm, degraded sound and "wow and flutter" of vintage tape machines.
VERB: A unique combination of a digital delay blended with a smooth plate reverb.
OCT: Octave delay that adds pitch-shifted cascading octaves above or below your original notes.
SHIM: Shimmer delay that generates an ethereal, synth-like pad effect by pitch-shifting repeats upward.
S&H: Sample and Hold delay that captures your picking dynamics to trigger rhythmic, stepped synth-like patterns.
LOOP: A dedicated phrase looper providing up to 60 seconds of recording time with unlimited overdubbing.
