Electro-Harmonix Crash Pad Analog Drum Synth Pedal

Reissue of the original drum synthesizer pedal!
EHX's rich history was marked by many revolutionary pedals but one of our most distinctive lines was a group of analog drum synthesizers that included the Crash Pad.
Like the original from 1980, the EHX Crash Pad Electric Crash Drum can create an array of drum sounds and other-worldly oscillation sweeps, as well as process external sounds thru its resonant filter. Plus, it's been updated to respond to expression pedal/CV input for external control over the filter in real-time.

Sens. ButtonControls the sensitivity of the Crash Pad to an external trigger. Sensitivity is high in the down position and low in the up position.
Start KnobSets the starting point of the frequency sweep.

Stop Knob

Time KnobControls how long it takes to sweep from the START frequency to the STOP frequency.
Resonance Knob

Decay KnobEach time the Crash Pad is triggered, an internal volume envelope is activated. The DECAY knob sets the time it takes for the volume envelope to fade out the triggered sound.
