“This is one of two DOD pedals that is misunderstood by many guitar players. This pedal (and the older FX-85 Harmonic Enhancer) add presence or ‘sheen’ to a signal in a manner very similar to an Aphex Aural Exciter, or a BBE Sonic Maximizer.”
“I haven’t seen the schematics for either so I can’t determine the design. However, with one knob and the ability to crank the ‘process’ to extreme and unusable levels, the effect is very easy to hear. It adds presence and high end in a manner an EQ just can’t.”
