“First of its kind”: Electro-Harmonix’s Effects Interface turns your pedals into plugins – and puts your prized plugins on your pedalboard

Electro-Harmonix Effects Interface Hardware Plugin.

NAMM 2026: Electro-Harmonix has unveiled the Effects Interface Hardware Plugin – a “first-of-its-kind” tool that turns plugins into pedals, and pedals into plugins.

The premise is simple. With the Effects Interface, EHX has sought to provide a unique new solution to two very real problems for guitarists. Namely, running an audio track from a DAW through your favorite pedal, and conversely having your favorite digital plugin as part of your physical pedalboard.
