Professor’s Notes
The Hot Wax is one of the Professor’s personal favorites—a best-kept secret in the EHX lineup: lush, touch-sensitive drive that bridges vintage and modern. It doesn’t fight your tone—it elevates it, It’s smooth, responsive, and ranges from subtle warmth to full molten saturation. Professor's Tip: Stack both channels but lower the Drive on each—this sweet-spot blend creates responsive, amp-like breakup that’s perfect for rhythm and lead. Also, don't forget that Blend knob.

Description
The Electro-Harmonix Hot Wax combines two legendary EHX circuits—the Crayon full-range overdrive and the Hot Tubes vintage tube-style drive—into one incredibly versatile dual overdrive. Each channel can be used independently or stacked together for rich, harmonically complex tones that range from clean sparkle to roaring saturation.

The Hot Wax’s shared Bass and Treble EQ allow for detailed tone shaping, while each side’s Volume and Drive controls let you blend textures and gain structures to taste. Whether you’re using it as a light boost, an always-on tone enhancer, or a stacked drive powerhouse, the Hot Wax delivers dynamic warmth that cuts cleanly through any mix.

From classic blues grit to modern indie crunch, this pedal does it all—and does it with character that feels alive under your fingers. It’s the EHX sleeper hit that deserves a permanent place on every serious player’s board.
