Electro-Harmonix released a Pico edition of its Intelligent Harmony Machine, a smaller version of the harmonizer the company first introduced in November 2021, according to Guitar Pedal X1. The Pico was reported on January 7, 20262.
The Pico keeps what Guitar Pedal X called "all the main parts fully intact" while dropping the Poly Override button and the separate Minor/Major switch of the original1. Its controls are Volume, a # button for Normal/Sharp, a Dry>Wet Mix knob, a Key knob and an Interval knob1. The Key knob covers 12 major keys with their relative minors, from C Major (A Min) through B Major (G# Min)1. The Interval knob steps through nine settings: Octave Down, 6th Down, 4th Down, 3rd Down, 4th Up, 5th Up, 6th Up, 7th Up and Octave Up1.
Holding the # button for one second enables Dual Mode, in which the pedal produces two intervals at once across ten combinations as the Interval knob is turned, starting with Octave Down plus Octave Up and ending with Octave Up plus 5th Up1. Delicious Audio described Dual Mode as unlocking "three-part harmonies" and called the pedal's tracking "flawless" in its assessment2.
The Pico is priced at $149, against $241.50 for the original1. Guitar Pedal X reported it as already listed or imminent at major dealers and said it had not seen UK listings at the time1.
"EHX first introduced its Intelligent Harmony Machine in November of 2021, and 5 years later we now get a Mini / Pico edition of that circuit - with very slightly fewer controls, but all the main parts fully intact."
