Follow the untold story of how one of America's greatest companies changed our culture and our music with their unorthodox devices.
In 1968, Mike Matthews founded Electro-Harmonix (EHX) and began assembling a worldwide team of the most talented engineers, creatives, and musicians he could find - people who would create imposing metal boxes with odd names that changed the sound and attitude of music forever. But the story of Electro-Harmonix is far more than the story of a company and its products. It's a testament to what can happen when someone trusts the people around them to do their best work.
Made On Earth For Rising Stars: The Electro-Harmonix Story is the definitive visual history - a historic collaboration between EHX, JHS Pedals, Third Man Books, and archivist Daniel Danger. This massive book explores everything from Mike Matthews himself to the workers on the floor, from circuit designers to those seeking to cure death, from flying machines to mass ESP experiments. Experience never-before-seen relics, prototypes, documents, photos, and stories. Featuring exclusive interviews with Jack White, J Mascis, John Mayer, Wes Borland, Billy Corgan, Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, Adrien Belew, Vernon Reid, and more.
