see the WORM at 00:47
it kicks in at ~ 3:30…puretubeMemberWasn`t HCFX a kind of role-model for this E-H forum?
and would this E-H forum have happened without HCFX?December 13, 2009 at 7:07 pm in reply to: Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.11 Crystal-Shimmer Effects #105280puretubeMemberQuote:Good idea,You have to be careful with some “Stereo” outputs on pedals as sometimes as in the Pulsar their stereo effect is created by throwing one side or output out of phase.
It sounds wide in stereo BUT is your signal is played back or heard in mono the signals will recombine and the effect will cancel out and vanish!
…
BillWrong…
The 2 outputs of the nano-PULSAR are absolutely phase-coherent!
(only their amplitude-variation (=levelmodulation) is oppositely phased;
which means that the one channel is full on,
while the other channel is full off
at the extreme ends of the sweep, when depth is maxed to the “sweet spot” at 1:00 PM.
At the middle of the sweep, both channels will carry the signal at the same level
and of course the same phase to their respective output-jacks.
The same, when depth is turned to zero).{yes, the output(-s) is (are) oppositely phased versus the input(-s)
on both the “re-issue”- and the “nano stereo”-PULSAR,
but that`s not an issue, when you place it like described earlier
instead of the “sending Y-adapter”}Best regards from the Pulsar-re-issue-designer…

The WORM = 3 stages

an interesting alternative approach for splitting the signal
into two branches (at the “send”-side) would be
using the 2 outputs of a “stereo”-pedal (e.g.: “PULSAR”)
instead of the “Y-adapter”…puretubeMemberQuote:now i know i seen a pic of Kurt Cobain, George Clinton and others with there EH pedals but i cant find them….i know there on the EH site sumwhere….must not be in the forums thow.Click and see HERE… for pix of George Clinton & Tube Zipper,
and its originator “puretube” with George…and HERE: for Peter Stroud and his incorporated Tube Zippers…
and with its designer…puretubeMemberMost folx are already overstrained with the amount of controls and their possibilites…
(some even are overwhelmed by 3 knobz on a trempedal…)
puretubeMemberQuote:Quote:Sounds awesome! I love the Effectology series.Would it possible to do a episode emulating a normal piano sound? I would love to be able to do some piano bits on my guitar…
You never know.
A acoustic piano would be very hard to do.
BillIf you play something to the tempo (rate) of the (Stereo-) PULSAR,
you can use certain settings which can remind of the plucking attack of
a piano or banjo…SHAPE-switch: triangle (ramp)
SHAPE-knob: almost maxed out clockwise
DEPTH-knob: full depth (~2 o`clock)
RATE-knob: adjust to whatever you want to play…some (resonant) filter after the Pulsar may help on the “tone”,
as well as maybe a Frequency Analyzer or Octave Multiplexer
for a little metallic “ringing” before or after the Pulsar can
add to more “reality”…[with the Shape-knob turned to the other extreme,
some bowed-string-like slow attack can be achieved…]p.s.: I might have mixed up the 2 extreme settings,
which might just be the other way `round,
but you`ll easy find out which is which…puretubeMemberHoly Stain : “Your mark of distinction.”
DeLuxe Memory Man (XO) : “Your history repeats.”
Stereo Electric Mistress (XO) : “Your stereo seductress awaits.”
btw., my Worm sez : “Your hook never sounded better.”
the 16 Second Delay (RI) & its Footcontroller got no messages…

puretubeMemberHave you tried wiggling the tubes a bit in their sockets?
(dust/dirt at the pins…)puretubeMemberooops – did I reply the wrong thing in the wrong thread?
puretubeMemberIt`s not inherently noisy.
Somewhere on the web, there`s a description of possible reasons for hum on the wiggler,
IIRC, and an easy way of how to get rid of it… -
