EHX has grafted technology found in keyboard and modular synthesizers into a pedal designed for guitarists and bass players. The Blurst modulates an instrument’s sound like an envelope filter, but instead of the filter’s response being controlled by playing dynamics, it’s controlled by an internal oscillator. The Blurst is a must have for the adventurous player who wants to explore new sonic territory!

Combining a lowpass filter, low frequency oscillator, and trove of tweakable onboard parameters, the Electro-Harmonix Blurst Modulated Filter Pedal turns a guitar or bass into a new sonic landscape. Controlled by the internal oscillator, the Blurst lets you choose between three wave and tap tempo functionality to create a world of dramatic, experimental filter sweeps. A unique effect that stands well on its own and works wonders bringing out new sounds from what's already on your pedalboard.
