Electro-Harmonix Blurst Modulated Filter Pedal

Why settle for ordinary sound when you can elevate your musical expression with the EHX Blurst Modulated Filter Pedal This innovative pedal is a game-changer for guitarists and bassists eager to infuse their play with the rich textures and dynamic contours typically found in keyboard and modular synthesizers. The Blurst's cutting-edge technology modulates your instrument's sound with an envelope filter-like effect, but with a unique twist: the filter's response is governed by an internal oscillator rather than your playing dynamics.

The Blurst Modulated Filter Pedal offers a plethora of controls to fine-tune your sound. The VOLUME knob allows you to adjust the pedal's output volume when the effect is engaged, ensuring your sonic creations cut through the mix. The BLEND knob provides the perfect balance, letting you mix the dry and wet signals to your taste, from subtle coloration to full-on filtration.

Dial in the exact timbre you desire with the RESONANCE knob, which not only shapes the character of the filter but also influences the volume of the filtered signal for added impact. The RATE knob is your gateway to controlling the speed of modulation, offering everything from a slow, sweeping wave to a rapid, pulsating rhythm.

Expand your control with the EXP MODE switch, which lets you select which parameter is manipulated by an external expression pedal, giving you real-time expressive capabilities. The TAP DIVIDE switch is a rhythmic maestro's dream, allowing you to set the note subdivision against your tapped tempo for synchronized modulation effects.

The RANGE knob is essential for tailoring the frequency range of the filter's modulation, providing you with the ability to match the effect to your instrument's tonal spectrum. The OUTPUT jack cleanly sends the Blurst's audio signal to your amp or recording device, while the INPUT jack welcomes your instrument or another pedal's output with a standard 1/4" connection.

For those who love to experiment with external control, the EXP jack is ready to connect to a TRS expression pedal or other CV devices like the EHX 8-Step Program, opening up a world of parameter manipulation. The TAP footswitch is ingeniously designed for you to easily tap in a tempo, syncing the LFO to your music's pace.

Lastly, the Bypass footswitch, accompanied by an orange status LED, provides a clear visual cue when the effect is active. A simple tap disengages the effect, allowing for seamless transitions between your filtered sound and a clean bypass signal.

The EHX Blurst Modulated Filter Pedal is not just an effect; it's an invitation to explore uncharted sonic landscapes, making it an essential addition to the pedalboard of any adventurous musician looking to stand out.
