Space-conscious polyphonic pitcher





The FX community has no shortage of pitch shifters. What Sweetwater appreciates about the EHX Slammi Plus are its wah-sized profile, polyphonic shifting, wide tuning range, and wet/dry X-Fade function. Plus, its low-draw (50mA) standard 9-volt power requirement means it can run from a battery or standard power supply.





Bend or blend





Standard pitch tricks, like dive-bombing and octave jumps, are no problem for the EHX Slammi Plus. Where it really gets to shine are its fast, accurate polyphonic pitch shifts and subtler chorus and crossfade effects.





Not just a special effect





Adding the Slammi Plus to your board unlocks a world of possibilities you may have never realized existed. Even if you don't always need the Slammi Plus for its powerful pitch-shifting effects, you'll always enjoy its ability to transpose keys up or down without touching a tuning peg.
