The Pulsar has three knobs: shape of the envelope, velocity, and depth. A swich mode lets you choose between progressive and square mode. As the form of envelope is not a switch but a potentiometer, one can define a variety of forms. It's very interesting, and I believe that no other tremolo does not offer that. Finally, this pedal is equipped with an LED indicator light.
Power is supplied by mini-jack 3.5 or by battery. No problem to power with PowerBank provided to make a small barrel plug cable male bosses -> jack male 3.5.
All outlets are located on the rear panel, which is very convenient. The case is sturdy (metal). It is quite cumbersome without it being a problem in my opinion.
UTILIZATION
The sound editing is simple.
The setting of the form provides easily the original form that you want, thanks to the reference shapes drawn on the case. It is therefore not limited to a few presets. The speed and depth settings are self explanatory.
The gradual switch / square shape can be applied by varying the volume gradually, or by breaking / restoration of signal. Excellent.
The diode follows the level of output signal. In progressive mode, it is itself progressive. Excellent well.
I ask nothing more.
SOUND QUALITY
The effect is very efficient and very clean, whatever the method.
I use a Hamer Special and a Crate VC5115. The result is very rock, vintage, very nice.
Only drawback: the switch on / off, a true bypass, sometimes causing a 'boom' which is defined very clearly in the amp. It can get messy in concert. It must be corrected with a capacitor, but I do not know how this circuit.
OVERALL OPINION
I use the tremolo for 8 months, in'm satisfied 200%. I particularly continuous adjustment of the shape of envelope, and ease of use of the beast. The sound is impeccable, very rock.
I tried other tremolo (standard as well, but I do not know by whom against), but failed to get what I wanted in terms of setting, and without finding comparable in terms of sound.
In short, I would do without hesitation that choice because I have exactly what I want, and reasonably priced (purchased new within 90 eu).
