Electro-Harmonix Pico Shimmer Effects Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Pico Shimmer Effects Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Pico Shimmer is a compact digital effects pedal. It combines reverberation, polyphonic octaves, modulated delay and a polyphonic string-synthesis engine.

INTERGALACTIC provides classic shimmer textures, OFF-WORLD produces smoother shimmer with enhanced delay modulation, and ETHERDUST randomises delay timing for granular fragments and glitch echoes.

VOICE morphs from clean plate reverb through shimmer to synthesised strings. BLEND, TIME and TONE set the dry/wet balance, decay and brightness. Secondary knob functions provide separate access to delay and modulation parameters.

Infinite Reverb sustains the reverb while the footswitch is held. This footswitch function requires Digital Bypass or Hybrid Bypass. The selected bypass mode also determines whether the effect tail continues after the pedal is bypassed.

Main Features

• Three SCENE modes provide different reverb and delay textures.
• VOICE morphs the character from plate reverb to string synthesis.
• TIME runs from short decay to infinite reverberation.
• BLEND covers fully dry through fully processed signal.
• TONE adjusts the effect’s brightness.
• Secondary controls adjust delay and modulation independently for each scene.
• Footswitch-accessible Infinite Reverb supports sustained ambient textures.
• Three bypass modes let you choose tail behaviour and analog signal passing.

Technical Specifications

• Circuit: digital mono reverb based on Oceans, Canyon and POG algorithms, plus polyphonic string synthesis
• SCENE modes: INTERGALACTIC, OFF-WORLD and ETHERDUST
• INTERGALACTIC: polyphonic octaves, reverb, modulated delay, compression and string synthesis
• OFF-WORLD: smoother shimmer with enhanced delay modulation
• ETHERDUST: randomised delay timing from granular fragments to distinct glitch echoes
• Main controls: BLEND dry/wet mix, TONE brightness, TIME decay to infinity, VOICE morphing from plate to shimmer and strings
• Secondary controls: RVB MIX reverb mix, DELAY 0-950 ms, DEPTH modulation depth and RATE speed; accessed by holding SCENE for 1 s
• Settings memory: secondary settings are stored separately for each SCENE and retained through power cycles
• Infinite Reverb: TIME at maximum or footswitch held for 500 ms; footswitch access requires Digital Bypass or Hybrid Bypass
• Bypass: Digital Bypass preserves tails, Analog Bypass immediately mutes the effect, Hybrid Bypass changes to analog after decay and a playing gap; Hybrid Bypass is the factory default
• Impedance and levels: input 2.2 MΩ, maximum +1.5 dBu; output 680 Ω, maximum +2.1 dBu
• Power: 9 V DC, 100 mA, centre-negative; maximum 10.5 V DC; EHX 9.6DC-200 included
• Signal passing: power is required even in bypass
• Dimensions: 3.65 x 2 x 2 inches
• Compatibility: instrument input and output to an amplifier

What’s Included

• 1 x Electro-Harmonix Pico Shimmer Effects Pedal
• EHX 9.6DC-200 power adapter

Who Is It For
