Electro-Harmonix used the 2004 Winter NAMM show to unveil the Pulsar, a new multi-functional variable shape tremolo pedal as they call it.

Controls include:

  • WAVE SHAPE Switch – Selects between the Wave Triangle Mode and the Square Wave Mode.
  • SHAPE Knob – Changes the shape of the wave form that modulates the Tremolo.
  • Wave Triangle Mode – As the SHAPE knob is turned from the Counter-Clockwise (minimum) position to the Center (middle) position, the wave starts as a rising Sawtooth and becomes a Triangle. From the Center position to the Clockwise (maximum) position, the wave changes from a Triangle to a falling Sawtooth.
  • Square Wave Mode – As the SHAPE knob is turned from the Counter-Clockwise (minimum) position to the Center (middle) position, the wave starts as a Small Pulse Width Wave and becomes a Square Width Wave. From the Center position to the Clockwise (maximum) position, the wave changes from a Square Width Wave to a Large Pulse Width Wave.
  • DEPTH Knob – Adjusts the amount of Tremolo that will be applied to your signal. As the INTENSITY knob is turned from the Counter-Clockwise (minimum) position to the Clockwise (maximum) position, the amount of the effect will increase.
  • RATE Knob – Adjusts the speed of modulation for the effect. As the RATE knob is turned from the Counter-Clockwise (minimum) position to the Clockwise (maximum) position, the rate of modulation will increase.
  • RATE/STATUS LED – If the effect is engaged, the LED will blink at the same rate that the effect modulates. If the LED is off, The Pulsar is in bypass mode. The footswitch engages/disengages
