they do and they don't... overall they are up there probably one of the few mass produced manufacturers to come close to some of the boutique/custom pedals made now.
i don't like the little big muff or the american big muff reissue they actually didn't work well with my guitar/amp setup, they sounded way too muddy and way overloaded all my guitars are humbuckers and i use a very clean twin reverb but the russian reissues i love, and mod them and make them true-bypass, they have a nice awesome gritty tone.
i have a hot tubes (not the vintage one without the 12AX7s) overdrive/distortion which is super loud, probably the loudest pedal i have ever used (can't crank it past 10'oclock or else it will destroy your face) i use it as a backup to my 80's RAT...
Deluxe Memory man is a very nice analog delay but to my ears it colors my tone and is slightly noisey even though its wired w/ a relay to be true-bypass, i've modded mine with a toggle switch doubling the delay time from 550 msec to 1100msec (although it has some weird digital hiss the increase delay time is really nice), and added another switch which addes more variable speed to the vibrato. the negative is that these things are soo big and clunky and i don't prefer big pedal boards or long chains (i actually don't like pedal boards and prefer not to use more than 5 effects boxes in my chain at any given time)
A Small Stone which is probably my favorite phaser (an effect i rarely use any more though) mine has been modded to also do vibrato, at a high intensity and with the added color this thing produces some of the craziest sounds that can be imagined froma phaseshifter, i prefer it over the mxr phase 90 which i was using for years.
thats all the ehx pedals i use or have used...
