Electro-Harmonix Nano Pulsar Variable Shape Stereo Pulsar Effects Pedal

The Electro-Harmonix Nano Pulsar Variable Shape Stereo Pulsar Effects Pedal takes tremolo beyond the ordinary and mundane. Equipped with a collection of tremolo-modulating waveforms and the option of operating in Triangle or Square Wave modes, the Nano Pulsar is a tremolo/panner treasure chest. 

Power-packed with Effects

This is a compact yet powerful tremolo or panner pedal packed with effects. Run it in mono or in stereo for a fully immersive tremolo/panning experience.

Intuitive Layout

For all its power, the Nano Pulsar’s layout is intuitive, and using it is easy. There is often a perceived volume drop with tremolo when the effect is engaged, so the brand has included a volume control. It allows a player to fine-tune their output level when the effect is on and is a very useful addition.

Depth Knob

The Nano Pulsar’s Depth knob adjusts the amount of tremolo applied to the signal. Past maximum, the modulation becomes asymmetric and warps the audio signal between the positive and negative phases. This creates a unique style of tremolo that sounds great alone or can be used in combination with other effects like the Oceans 11’s Shimmer patch to produce compelling synth-like sounds and textures.

Rate Knob

The Rate knob provides a full range of speed adjustments for the tremolo or pan effect, and when you start to max out the Rate and Depth controls, you enter ring modulation territory for a surreal sonic joyride.

Sound Shaping

Unlock a world of advanced sound shaping and control. Create tremolo and panning effects that go from sublimely beautiful to downright shocking. The compact Nano Pulsar will be your do-it-all, go-to pedal for all things tremolo and panning.

Modes

Flick the Triangle Wave or Square Wave mode switch to determine how sharp or smooth the effect will be.

Waveforms

Select from falling and rising sawtooth, narrow and wide pulse width, or triangle and square wave tremolo-modulating waveforms to control how the tremolo morphs and evolves.
