Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Plus

August 06, 2007
Holy Grail Plus Pedal at Summer NAMM 2007
Electro-Harmonix's Holy Grail Plus is just like the original Holy Grail, but now you can control the amount of decay with an additional knob, and you can also experiment with a couple extra settings. Felipe Sosa rips through this pedal pretty quickly, but you can still get a pretty good idea how it sounds. Check it out, microphone gymnastics included, in the Gearwire video. (Sometimes tired presenters forget when the mic isn't aimed at 'em anymore...)
More info is at the Electro-Harmonix official site.

Why do they have to demo the EHX pedals on such a crappy sounding set up?

ELECTRO-HARMONIX REPRESENTATIVE: Okay. And let me show you the Holy Grail Plus. The Holy Grail is just like the original Holy Grail pedal except for the fact that it now has the amount of decay controllable with this knob and we have a room added, so let me show you the pedal.

Okay. The first setting is spring, so I can do a small spring or a large spring sound.

We also have a hall setting.

[ELECTRO-HARMONIX REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE HOLY GRAIL PLUS ENGAGED, HALL REVERB MODE]

Small hall or large hall.

Okay, and now we have a room. We have a small room.

[ELECTRO-HARMONIX REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE HOLY GRAIL PLUS ENGAGED, ROOM REVERB MODE]

Small room...

...and a large room.

[ELECTRO-HARMONIX REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE HOLY GRAIL PLUS ENGAGED, ROOM REVERB MODE]

And we have the flange -- the

Flerb

which is the flanged reverb. [STRUMS GUITAR] Hear the flange?

[ELECTRO-HARMONIX REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE HOLY GRAIL PLUS ENGAGED, FLERB MODE]

The added feature that like with the Holiest -- Holier Grail, if you increase the amount of the decay, okay, that means as with the small Flerb setting in the Holier Grail pedal, you get a B-flat sound, you get a B-flat note. [STRUMS GUITAR] so it's there, and that means you can play in the key of B-flat or in the [INAUDIBLE].

[ELECTRO-HARMONIX REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE HOLY GRAIL PLUS ENGAGED, FLERB MODE]

It's a very cool groovy feature. And now we have the Number One Echo [STRUMS GUITAR], which is a digital echo with an analog sound.

Okay.

I need awesome gear... I'd like a free gear catalog!
My opinion is awesome. I'd like to take a gear survey
