About Electro Harmonix.

Electro Harmonix is one of those legendary companies that has managed to stay strong in the market since 1968, when guru Mike Matthews founded the brand in New York City.

Mike balanced his work between IBM, the computer company, and his garage, where he built pedals for many years. His first creation was the LPB-1, a very simple booster-line driver that quickly gained fame.

In the early '80s, Electro Harmonix was forced to close due to the influx of Asian companies like Roland/Boss, Ibanez, and Tokai entering the musical instrument market. Fortunately, the company made a comeback years later by reissuing its classic designs under a new phase, rebranded by Mike as New Sensor.

From the beginning, the factory specialized in effects pedals, attracting prominent musicians such as Carlos Santana, Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead), Jimi Hendrix, Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), Jack White (The White Stripes), John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), The Edge (U2), Cliff Burton (Metallica), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), and Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys).
