Electric Smile

This pedals acts someehat diffrerently with singlecoils versus humbuckers. Gear used ---> Shur, PRS, Gibson, Fender, Kendrick, Fuchs, Mojave,, etc.  This pedal adds a vintage vibe and an "extra dimension" to whatever you use it with.  I am not a Hendrix clone and wasn;t looking for his toen in this pedal, but it is there.  Judging the pedal just on the basis of tone it is great.  The wild rumpus that ensues when you use it with anything or use anything through it (even other pedals) will bring a smile to your face.  My best comparison is to the ZVEX pedal.  The addrock is quieter and all of its sounds are usefule.  The ZVEX is very cool, but I sold it because it ws hard to conjusre up the same "magic" each time with it.  The addrock is dead quiet between notes.  I am not sure how this is accomplished. but, it comes as a suprise compared to the range of noisey tonal artifacts you can conjusre up along with your guitar signal.

Very solid. It will take a lickin' and still sound great.  The quality of the hardware, finish etc. is first class!

It's easy to use and different from what you may have used in the past.  That is a good thing. It's temping to want a million controls on everything, But this pedal succeeds in giving you lots of control with just 2 knobs.  You won;t need a manual and it sounds cool (and different) in just about every setting.

HL, the designer and builder of this pedal, is a serious pro player and device maker.  He aims to please and he pays attenton to the details.

This delivers the good in hifi* for a reallt reasonable price.  Cool cloth carrying case is a plus.  Just be ready for something wild.  This pedal is not for the timid. It is folks like me who are after that vocal and syrypy octave tone that guys like Mike Landau get.

No noise whatsover, the layout is excellent.  I wanted an Octavia and wasn't really too concerned about the price.  Fulltone, Voodoo Lab, Roger Mayer, even Way Huge, I checked them all.  The Electric Smile is the clear winner.  Not only that, it is one of the least expensive.  How can you possibly go wrong?

Can't say.  I play in my room or go jam, but I certainly don't have a regular club gig or anything like that.  Seems tough enough, but I baby it.   It's my prize pedal!

How easy is it to get a sound out of it?  Not a single bad sound.  Goes from smooth distortion, to Purple Haze, to insane octave craziness!  Just turn the knobs, there's only two, how hard can it be?

Can't say enough about H.L.  Great guy, willing to do anything to make sure you're satisfied.  Goes the extra mile.  You certainly won't find that from any of the other companies.

I play all sorts of music.  I am classically trained, so I like to get my Bach on, but acoustic guitar only gets you so much.  Ain't nothing like blasting Purple Haze with the amp on 11.  Being a classical player, noise bothers the hell out of me.  I can't stand to have any.  I certainly have no complaints about the Electric Smile, it is an excellent pedal and I would be glad to answer any questions anyone might have.  Feel free to email me.  In all honesty, there isn't a better sounding octave pedal available for any price.  You simply can not go wrong.
