Great, simple Trem pedal.
Anonymous 11.08.2015
The Stereo Pulsar is great and instantly gives you the option of a few classic trem sounds. Your controls consist of a waveform choice (Square, Tri), a Pulsewidth control, Rate and Depth. Rate goes from near DC to what sounds like about 30 Hz, and the depth can go a little over 100% so that the signal begins to invert back on itself, leading to a swampy sound similar to the Harmonic Trem of some of the Fender Amps.

Cool things:

The Pulsewidth control - Lets you make your square wave into a Dark Side of the Moon esque pulse tremolo sound. You can turn your triangle into a saw or reverse saw for weird volume swell sounds.

Depth control - The overmodulation that comes from going past 3 o clock on the depth on a triangle wave setting is instant Bo Diddly territory. With a little dirt you've got a filthy electric blues/RnB sound.

Less than cool things:
Volume Drop - On higher depth settings the signal can seem a little quieter. A little extra volume available to make up for it would change the world for me.

Bunching - getting exactly the right rate is always messy, but I find it really tough on this pedal sometimes. The depth is tricky too, but I play into dirty amps a lot and I don't tend to use this in the FX loop so that's my own doing.


Overall it's really great. If you want more features, like Tap Tempo, then obviously the Super Pulsar is the way to go. But this is a really nice trem and I think most guitar and key players would be pretty happy with what they get with this unit.

Better with two separate cabs
fran cesco 29.07.2019
Very nice when used in a stereo setup, provided that two speakers have good separation. Otherwise, the ping pong effect can barely be noticed on a regular 2x cab.
It would be good to have separate control for depth and stereo width.

Average quality tremolo pedal
hfloor 27.12.2017
The unit is robust and reliable. It can provide a decent variety of tremolo sounds.
In comparison to an older Pulsar (the one with the bigger knobs and casing) this one sounded a bit thin and uninteresting.

nice tremolo pedal
alat770 04.05.2016
Very nice tremolo pedal, decently versatile, it can go from subtle to "helicopter" effect.

The overall build quality is just standard EHX, built as a tank, precise and reliable knobs, durable switch, 5 stars.

In terms of sound quality, I would have preferred more drastic changes from one wave shape to the other. Sometimes the change may seem too subtle.

Overall it is a versatile and durable pedal, it can fit any genera that requires some added "trem".
