Electro-Harmonix proudly expands their line of sub-compact effectors with the Pico Shimmer Cosmic Reverb. Inspired by popular Shimmer settings on the award-winning Canyon Delay and Oceans 11 Reverb, this new pocket-sized pedal delivers even more immersive sounds featuring 3 new scenes: INTERGALACTIC, OFF-WORLD, and ETHERDUST.
Each effect scene utilizes a mixture of reverb, delay, and modulation effects, as well as an octaves and string synth engine.
- INTERGALACTIC: a classic shimmer made up of polyphonic octaves, reverb, modulated delay and compression with the addition of a string synthesis engine. Morph between plate reverb, classic shimmer, and ethereal strings to create cinematic atmospheres beyond time and space.
- OFF-WORLD: a smoother, mellower shimmer effect with enhanced delay modulation. Vintage synthesizer textures abound and lift Off-World to an orbiting atmospheric soundscape.
- ETHERDUST: a glitch shimmer effect where the delay time is randomized, creating stutters ranging from short granular sparkles to distinct glitch echoes.
The BLEND knob sets the overall wet/dry mix while the TONE knob adjusts the brightness of the effect. TIME controls the decay time from short instances of reverb to infinite reverb. Tweaking the VOICE knob morphs the reverb character from plate to shimmer to string synth pad. The SCENE mode button toggles between scenes when pressed, and when held the button engages secondary function mode that allows for control over reverb mix, delay time, and modulation depth and rate. Press and hold the footswitch for instant infinite reverb on the fly.
This lightweight ambience machine ships with a standard EHX 9 Volt power supply, is available now and has a U.S. Street Price of $149.00.
