The HornFX Encyclopedia is HERE!
Hello friend! Welcome to the world of HornFX. HornFX is a unique resource for the horn player, string player, or vocalist looking to use effects pedals with their instrument. Our online community contains pedal reviews, rankings, articles, artist pages, and effects databases specifically geared to inform any horn player about what effect might best provide the sounds and capabilities they are looking for. Any one pedal can perform differently and have different applications from a saxophone, trumpet, or trombone perspective, and it is our goal to give the most comprehensive, complete, well thought out information and advice to the pedal seeking wind instrumentalist.
The Creation of the HornFX Encyclopedia
In 2018, HornFX embarked on a journey to build a comprehensive and interactive textbook that formalizes the education of effects use for wind instrumentalists all around the world. The HornFX Encyclopedia is the most useful and resource for ANY wind instrumentalist with ANY degree of interest in using pedal effects with their instrument. In this volume, we pave a path to understanding to the technical, musical, and practical realities of effects and pedals, and how to incorporate them into your musical life. We cover:
- How to connect your instrument to the pedals and achieve the highest quality sound
- How each effect type (delay, reverb, pitch shifting, modulation, etc.) works, its history, and its practical applications for you and your performances
- How to manage your signal and how to troubleshoot when things go wrong
- How to use MIDI control to take your pedal capabilities to the next level
- How to design, build, and maintain the perfect pedalboard
- and SO MUCH MORE
We are excited for this book to be a valuable resource for our community! As many of you know, we have been selling chapters of this book for $25 throughout the past few years. The full Encyclopedia itself will retail for $199.
