I am looking for historic information on EHX Pulsar.
When where they produced and what are the different versions of it?March 15, 2011 at 1:22 pm #114661The EH ManModeratorThe vintage or the reissue?
March 15, 2011 at 1:44 pm #114662borghParticipantI’m interested in both models.
March 15, 2011 at 2:48 pm #114666The EH ManModeratorThe vintage unit came out around 1979 and was just a single version in a Small Stone-sized enclosure. Rate and Depth controls and a switch for changing the wave.
The reissue was a big box like the Big Muff. Not really a reissue since the circuit was completely different. A few years ago they changed it over to the smaller box like the current Little Big Muff and went stereo.March 15, 2011 at 4:04 pm #114667DiscoFreqParticipantRon, do you have an idea of how many vintage units they made?
March 15, 2011 at 4:12 pm #114668The EH ManModeratorgiven their scarcity, probably no more than a few hundred. I don’t have a production unit but I do have the prototype.

I have one, with box (not sure about papers).

Not even close.

Ah, no enclosure? Very nice, I don’t think I ever saw vintage EH prototypes before
March 15, 2011 at 11:23 pm #114672melxMemberQuote:given their scarcity, probably no more than a few hundred. I don’t have a production unit but I do have the prototype.I wonder why they made so few of them…. It’s not like they had other tremolo models or anything is it?
March 16, 2011 at 12:22 am #114674borghParticipantIt might have something to do with the fact that many of the amplifiers of that time had a built-in tremolo/vibrato effect. But it’s still weird that they made so few, I would really like to have one right now!
Thanks alot for the help EH Man!

But it’s still weird that they made so few, I would really like to have one right now!That, and also if I recall correctly, tremolo wasnt very fashionable in the late 70s or early 80s. It didnt really become cool again until Johnny Marr and then the Shoegazers.

March 19, 2011 at 1:23 pm #114712The EH ManModeratorQuote:is the Pulse Modulator related to the Pulsar circuit? I would love to get my hands on one those!No, it’s a completely different circuit. I could probably build you a Pulse Modulator.
March 19, 2011 at 3:46 pm #114715DiscoFreqParticipantAh yes, I asked if you could do that for my empty Pulse Modulator enclosure:
Can you check if that’s possible and how much it would cost?
