Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail: Creating Sound Effects With Guitar Effects Pedals

April 10, 2008
Holy Grail SFX

What happens when you take a guitar effect, for example the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail reverb, and eliminate guitar from the equation. Mathematically speaking, you are left with just an effect:

Proof:
X+Y-X=Y
Where X = Guitar and Y = Effect

If you don't believe me, plug some numbers into the equation . . . or just watch this video to hear the spacey effects that Bill creates when he plugs the Korg R3 into the Holy Grail and manipulates a windy sound effect.
