Ukuphupha nge-Electro-Harmonix
I-Electro-Harmonix yinkampani ezinze eNew York eyenza amaphrosesa omsindo we-elekthronikhi asezingeni eliphezulu futhi ithengise amashubhu e-vacuum aqanjwe kabusha. Le nkampani yasungulwa nguMike Matthews ngo-1968. Yaziwa kakhulu ngochungechunge lwemiphumela yesiginci ethandwayo. amaphedali yethulwa ngawo-1970 kanye nawo-1990. Maphakathi nawo-70s, u-Electro Harmonix wayezisungule njengephayona nomkhiqizi ohamba phambili wamaphedali wemiphumela yesiginci. Lawa madivaysi e-elekthronikhi bekubuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu kanye nezinto ezintsha. I-Electro-Harmonix yaba inkampani yokuqala ukwethula, ukukhiqiza, kanye nokumaketha “amabhokisi e-stomp-box” athengekayo asezingeni eliphezulu kubadlali besigingci nama-bassists, njenge-flanger yokuqala ye-stomp-box (Electric Mistress); I-analogi yokuqala echo/ukubambezeleka engenazo izingxenye ezihambayo (Memory Man); I-synthesizer yesiginci yokuqala ngendlela yokunyathela (I-Micro Synthesizer); Isifanisi sokuqala se-tube-amp distortion (Amashubhu ashisayo). Ngo-1980, i-Electro-Harmonix iphinde yaklama futhi yakhangisa enye yezinto zokuqala zokulibaziseka kwedijithali/i-looper pedals (16-Second Digital Delay).
I-Electro-Harmonix yasungulwa ngo-1981 nguMike Matthews, umculi nomsunguli owayefuna ukuletha umbono wakhe womsindo emhlabeni. Iphupho lakhe kwakuwukudala inkampani engakhiqiza izinsimbi zomculo eziyingqayizivele nezintsha ezingasetshenziswa abaculi bawo wonke amazinga nezitayela. Wayefuna ukwenza okuthile okwakuthengeka futhi kufinyeleleke kuwo wonke umuntu.
Imikhiqizo

Ngakho-ke, uma ufuna umsindo wakudala, wakudala, hamba ne-Electro-Harmonix. Uma ufuna umsindo wesimanjemanje, onenzuzo ephezulu, hamba ne-Tung Sol. Kulula kanjalo!
Imibuzo Evame Ukubuzwa
I-Electro-Harmonix iwuphawu oludumile obelukhona kusukela ngawo-1960s. Isungulwe ngunjiniyela uMike Matthews, le nkampani ikhiqize eminye yemiphumela emihle kakhulu yama-pedals yabashayi besiginci. Noma ngabe ungumuntu osaqalayo noma uchwepheshe onolwazi, i-Electro-Harmonix inokuthile kwawo wonke umuntu. Ama-pedals awo aziwa ngekhwalithi yawo ephezulu kanye nokuthengeka kwawo, okuwenza abe yisinqumo esihle sabashayi besiginci bawo wonke amazinga. Futhi, amaphedali abo asekelwa iwaranti yempilo yonke, ngakho ungaqiniseka ukuthi uthola umkhiqizo onokwethenjelwa. Ngakho-ke uma ufuna i-pedal ethembekile nethengekayo, i-Electro-Harmonix kufanele nakanjani uyihlole.
Ubudlelwano Obubalulekile
Ah, izinsuku ezinhle zakudala zama-'70s, lapho u-Electro-Harmonix eshintsha igeyimu ngamaphedali wemiphumela. Ngaphambi kwabo, abaculi kwakudingeka bathembele emishinini emikhulu nebizayo ukuze bathole umsindo ababewufuna. Kepha u-Electro-Harmonix ukushintshe konke lokho ngamaphedali abo athengekayo, asebenziseka kalula.
Lawa ma-pedals avumele abaculi ukuthi bengeze izinga elisha lokuqamba emculweni wabo. Ngama-tweaks ambalwa alula, angakha imisindo eyingqayizivele nethakazelisayo engakaze izwakale ngaphambili. Kusukela ekuhlanekezeleni kwe-Big Muff yakudala kuya ekubambezelekeni kwe-Memory Man okuyisithonjana, i-Electro-Harmonix inikeze abaculi amathuluzi okuhlola imingcele yabo ye-sonic.
Kodwa kwakungewona nje umsindo owenza amaphedali e-Electro-Harmonix akhetheke kakhulu. Baphinde babenza bafinyeleleka ngendlela emangalisayo, bavumela abaculi ukuthi bazame ngaphandle kokuphula ibhange. Lokhu kubenze baduma kakhulu kubaculi be-indie nabakhiqizi basekamelweni, manje abangadala umculo ozwakalayo ngaphandle kokutshala imali emishinini ebizayo.
Ngakho-ke, wenzani u-Electro-Harmonix emculweni? Nokho, baguqule indlela abaculi abadala ngayo, babavumela ukuba bahlole umsindo wabo futhi badlule imingcele yalokho okungenzeka. Baphinde benza ukuthi noma ubani akwazi ukwenza umculo ozwakalayo osezingeni eliphezulu ngaphandle kokutshala imali emishinini ebizayo. Ngamafuphi, bawushintshile umdlalo futhi benza umculo watholakala kalula futhi waba nobuciko kunangaphambili.
Isiphetho
U-Electro-Harmonix ube yingxenye yemboni yomculo iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-50 manje futhi ube nesibopho seminye yemiphumela emihle kakhulu yamaphedali esikhathi sonke. Kusukela ku-Deluxe Memory Man kuya ku-Stereo Pulsar, i-Electro-Harmonix ishiye uphawu embonini futhi izoqhubeka nokwenza kanjalo. Ngakho-ke ungesabi ukuthatha i-pedal ye-Electro-Harmonix kanye ne-ROCK OUT!
NginguJoost Nusselder, umsunguli we-Neaera kanye nomkhangisi wokuqukethwe, ubaba, futhi ngiyathanda ukuzama izinto ezintsha ngesiginci enhliziyweni yesifiso sami, futhi kanye nethimba lami, bengilokhu ngidala izindatshana zebhulogi ezijulile kusukela ngo-2020. ukusiza abafundi abathembekile ngokurekhoda namathiphu esiginci.
