Connecting the worlds of pedals and plugins together with ease is the new Electro-Harmonix Effects Interface Hardware Plugin. Bringing universality to their Hardware Plugin concept, the Effects Interface allows the user to turn pedals into a plugin, or plugins into a pedal, while also being equipped as a 2-in/2-out interface. This pedal makes it easy to incorporate a whole pedalboard into your DAW session or incorporate plugins into your live setup for a completely hybrid rig with out the need for any additional converters or specialty equipment.

The Effects Interface operates in three distinct modes: Hardware Plugin Mode, Pedalboard Mode, and Interface Mode.

  • Hardware Plugin Mode – Connect pedals to the Effects Interface’s loop and open the plugin in your DAW. Audio from your track will run through the pedals in the loop. Add your favorite pedal to single tracks or full bus mixes.
  • Pedalboard Mode – Run input signal through plugins in your DAW and back out to your pedalboard or an amp through the Effects Interface. Place a plugin effect into your physical signal chain. Also useful for simple guitar re-amping.
