Electro-Harmonix has condensed the full diatonic power of its Intelligent Harmony Machine into a remarkably compact format with the Pico Intelligent Harmony Machine. Designed for players who want instant, musical harmonies without sacrificing pedalboard space, the Pico IHM delivers fast, accurate tracking and smooth harmony generation that stays locked to your playing, even during high-speed lead runs and intricate phrasing.
At the heart of the Pico IHM is an intuitive control layout that makes sophisticated harmony creation feel effortless. The KEY knob works alongside the # button to define the musical key, ensuring harmonies remain diatonically correct across the fretboard.
From there, the INTERVAL control offers 10 distinct harmony modes, letting you choose anything from subtle third and fifth intervals to more dramatic harmonic movements. The MIX knob provides precise control over the balance between your dry signal and the generated harmony voices, while the VOL control sets the overall output level so the pedal integrates cleanly into any rig.
Holding the # button engages Dual Mode, adding a second harmony voice to the signal path. When blended with your dry tone, this mode produces rich, three-part harmonies that sound full and polished, making the Pico IHM equally useful for melodic leads, harmonized riffs, and layered solo textures. Electro-Harmonix’s tight digital tracking ensures that every note remains articulate and in tune, preserving the natural feel of your performance rather than overpowering it.
Housed in Electro-Harmonix’s pico-sized chassis, the Pico Intelligent Harmony Machine is their most compact harmony pedal to date, yet it loses none of the functionality that made the original Intelligent Harmony Machine a favorite. With mono operation, a digital circuit optimized for accuracy, and an included 9.6V power supply, the Pico IHM is a practical and powerful solution for players who want intelligent harmony on demand.
