Description
Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine (IHM)
The Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine (IHM) is a highly versatile 2-in-1 guitar effects pedal that functions as both a smart diatonic harmonizer and a polyphonic pitch shifter. It allows a single guitarist to instantly generate realistic multi-part harmonies that track accurately in real-time, matching the iconic sounds of legendary multi-lead guitar bands.
Core Operating Modes
- Intelligent Harmony Mode: Generates single-note, diatonically correct harmonies based on a selected musical key. If you set the key to C Major and choose a third above, playing a C note produces an E (a major third), while playing a D note automatically produces an F (a minor third) to stay perfectly in key.
- Polyphonic Override Mode: Disengages the key tracking to act as a full polyphonic pitch shifter, much like the classic EHX Pitch Fork . This mode allows you to shift the pitch of entire chords or single notes simultaneously, perfect for electronic drop-tunings or simulated baritone guitar tones.
Key Hardware & Controls
- Key Selection: A dedicated rotary knob alongside a #/- switch and a Major/Minor switch allows you to quickly dial in any of the 12 musical keys.
- 11-Position Interval Selector: Offers 11 unique settings per mode, spanning simple intervals (such as thirds, fourths, and fifths) up to sophisticated three-part configurations like "3rd Up + 5th Up" or "5th Up + Octave Up".
- Momentary Mode: Holding down the footswitch engages the effect dynamically, with an adjustable pitch sweep time controlled by the Volume knob.
- Dual Outputs: Features a standard main output and a dedicated Dry Out jack. This allows you to split your signal into a stereo-like setup, sending your unaffected dry guitar tone to one amplifier and the harmonized signal to another.
