Our Patron of Pedals shows us that Pico Power Prevails!
The whole range.......but below we have a delicious taste thereof.......
We did a quick overview of some of these pedals a little while ago but it was just that, a glance. Fleeting.
But we know a man who wants to show us just how majestic these pedals can truly be.
Our doctor of drive, our sonic support. The man who makes modulation a way of life.
Take it away my friend.

Electro Harmonix Pico Pog Polyphonic Octave Generator
Next up in our New EHX Pico range demo's is the classic, unmistakable POG. However, the Pico sized Pog isn't just a shrunken version of the original, it's brand new Filter modes change the entire sonic structure of what it's known to do!
And what is it know to do i hear you ask. Over to you EHX...
"The Pico POG takes the streamlined simplicity of the Micro and Nano POGs and fits it all into an ultra-compact chassis and adds a powerful tone control. The tightest octave effect now fits on the tightest of pedalboards.
The EHX Pico POG features a lighting fast feel that will track every note and chord you play with precision. Dial in Sub Octave to add stumble rumble or monstrous thunder. Add Octave Up for ethereal air or max it out to shred into another galaxy. Perfectly blend 3-voice tones for fat synthy madness. The 3 mode Tone control lets you tailor your sound to fit into any pocket no matter how massive or small."
It's a serious upgraded version, and your pedalboard will thank you later! We go through all the settings with no waffle so you can just sit back and enjoy.

Up Next........
Electro Harmonix Pico Rerun Tape Delay Pedal
The Electro Harmonix Pico sized pedals are a real game changer for pedalboards. These tiny effect pedal are far more than just a shrunken version of their older siblings, they're a full on upgrade, and pack a ridiculous amount into a tiny unit.
The EHX PICO Rerun Tape Delay is a perfect example - it's all about marrying vintage vibes with modern features. This compact stompbox packs wide delay ranges with as much as three seconds on tap — enough to send notes into outer space with no trace of reality left behind! Delay times as low as eight milliseconds ensure plenty of classic sounds onboard, including slapback for slight enhancement with few repeats. The Rerun’s saturation knob also captures the warble, warmth, and drive of a tape-style preamp, which allows your signal to be thickened or driven to taste. What’s more, the Pico Rerun Tape Delay allows for tempo tweaks and experimentation on the fly. There are built-in tap tempo tools, a footswitch hold function for triggering runaway oscillation, and control over delay behaviour when bypassed, what more could you possibly want from such a tiny delay!
We run through the pedal's features in about as much time as it takes to make a (decent) cup of tea, with no waffling on, and zero blues licks. Enjoy!
And Finally.......
Electro Harmonix Pico Canyon Echo Delay Pedal
Next up in our Electro Harmonix PICO range is the PICO Canyon Echo - a serious bit of muscle housed in a tinchy tiny sized pedal! Here's the blurb:
The EHX Pico Canyon Echo takes the digital delay from the award-winning Canyon Delay and Looper and plates it up as a single serving echo unit. Starting with a crystal clean delay, the Canyon Echo is a sweetly simple delay with 3 seconds of delay time. Don’t let the size fool you, this canyon is deep! Add filtering, tap tempo, and a feedback knob capable of infinite repeats and this little echo is up to most time bending tasks.
The Canyon Echo features a BLEND knob to get the perfect wet/dry mix. The DELAY knob sets the delay time from 8ms to 3s. FEEDBACK is adjustable from 1 repeat to infinite repeats for endless delay washes and pads. Turn the FILTER knob past noon and it’s a High Pass Filter while below noon it is a Low Pass Filter.
Tap Tempo is simple and easy to use. Just press and release the footswitch at least two times to set the tempo and the LED will blink to confirm your tap tempo. The tempo can then be subdivided from a quarter note to a dotted eight note to an eighth note with the TAP DIV button. Additionally, the Canyon Echo also features selectable Tails bypass so echoes continue after putting the pedal into bypass.
The Canyon Echo also features a new style of Infinite Repeats where a single delay is repeated and the input is taken out of the delay path. This makes the pedal function like a micro tape looper that can be played over without new delays being created. The micro loop can also be manipulated into warped sound effects by adjusting the DELAY knob.
We run through all of it's features in as little time as possible, with no drivel. Give us a like if you liked it. Or send us delicious food if you don't. But we do hope you enjoy!
