Electro-Harmonix Crash Pad

Crash Pad
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.

Controls:

1. START: Sets the starting point of the frequency sweep. Filter sweeps can begin anywhere from 250 Hz at full counterclockwise to 7.5 kHz at full clockwise.
2. STOP: Sets the end point of the filter’s frequency sweep. Sweeps can end anywhere from 50 Hz at full counterclockwise to 7.5 kHz at full clockwise.
3. TIME: Controls how long it takes to sweep from the START frequency to the STOP frequency. As TIME is turned clockwise, the sweep time slows down. Sweep time ranges from 40 ms to 4 seconds.
4. SENS. Button: Controls the sensitivity of the Crash Pad to an external trigger. Sensitivity is high in the down position and low in the up position.
5. RESONANCE: Adjusts the resonance (or Q) of the low pass filter. 
5. VOLUME: Controls the volume of the output signal. 
6. DECAY: Set the time it takes for the volume envelope to fade out the triggered sound.
