Electro-Harmonix Andy Summers Walking On The Moon Analog Flanger / Filter Matrix Pedal
Celebrating the classic, shimmering flanger sounds of Andy Summers.
Celebrating the classic, shimmering flanger sounds of Andy Summers, the EHX Walking on the Moon is a tribute to the tones Andy employed while carving his niche in the early days of playing with the Police. Liquid flange effects that hint toward chorus with extra depth and nuance make Andy’s sound one of the most coveted in all of the guitar universe.
“This beautiful shimmering which sort of made the sound more bigger and more glamourous…became a sort of characteristic of my guitar sound…A big part of my guitar sound at that time in The Police was the flange sound which we have here today in this great new pedal.” – Andy Summers
The Andy Summers Walking on the Moon is an analog flanger with a simple but powerful control set of RATE, RANGE, and COLOR. RATE sets the speed of modulation which ranges from slow, smooth filter sweeps to jittering vibrato. RANGE controls how narrow or wide the effect sweeps into the bass frequency range. The COLOR control effects the intensity of the flanger effect from subtle chorusing effects to classic jet woosh sounds. These three controls interact to create a wide breath of modulation effects.
Additionally, the Walking on the Moon includes a FILTER MATRIX which disengages the LFO from the flanger circuit, freezing the flanger giving a fixed filter effect, which can add chime or metallic overtones to your sound without the movement of a traditional modulation pedal. A DRY output allows you to split your dry signal from the effected signal.
Special Artist Edition graphics featuring Andy’s signature adorn the chassis and a tribute Walking on the Moon poster with art by Laura Josephson is included with each pedal.

Product Features:
9V Power Jack: Attach the output plug from the included power supply to the 9V power jack. WOTM draws 40mA at 9VDC on a centernegative plug. Do not exceed 10.5VDC on the power jack.
Color Knob: Sets the intensity of the flanger effect. As you turn COLOR clockwise, the effect becomes more pronounced, producing that classic whoosh effect flangers are famous for.
Range Knob: Allows you to set the lower limit of the flanger sweep. A fully counterclockwise setting, where the lower limit is just below the higher limit, creates a narrow sweep effect. As you turn RANGE clockwise the flanger sweeps down further into the bass region.
Rate Knob: Controls the speed of flanger modulation. As you turn RATE clockwise, the flanger's speed increases. Higher settings of RATE give the effect a sound like vibrato.
Filter Matrix Switch: When this switch is set to the right position, labeled FILTER MATRIX, the modulation waveform is disconnected from the flanger circuit, freezing the flanger and creating a matrix of filters. Turn the RANGE knob to change the filters' poosition and use COLOR to adjust the depth of filtering. The RATE knob has no effect when set to FILTER MATRIX mode. Proper manipulation of the RANGE and COLOR knobs will enable you to simulate the sound of chimes being played in unison with your instrument, as well as many other effects.
Flanged Out Jack: Main audio output from WOTM. All flanging and modulation effects will emanate from this jack.
Dry Out Jack: Secondary audio output from WOTM. DRY OUT is directly connected to the INPUT jack in all modes.
Input Jack: Audio input to WOTM.
Footswitch and Status LED: Use the footswitch to switch between bypass and effect mode. The LED is off when WOTM is in true bypass mode. When WOTM is active, the LED is lit.
