Electro Harmonix Pico Atomic Cluster Spectral Decomposer Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Pico Atomic Cluster - Spectral Decomposer Pedal

With the Pico Atomic Cluster, Electro-Harmonix brings a completely new concept to the pedal market. This compact effect pedal deconstructs your guitar signal on a spectral level and transforms it into a variety of lo-fi, glitchy and synth-like sounds. Whether rhythmic arpeggios, chaotic sound fragmentations or ambient synth pads - the Atomic Cluster creates fascinating soundscapes far removed from conventional effects pedals.

Spectral fragmentation at the touch of a button

At its heart is a unique algorithm that reduces the frequency resolution of your input signal. This creates resonant oscillations that react directly to the material being played. The effect is not only creative, but also extremely musical - ideal for experimental musicians, sound designers and synth fans.

Intuitive control with creative possibilities

The ATOMS control determines how many oscillations sound simultaneously - from a full sound spectrum to individual sound fragments. Fewer atoms = more glitch. The SPEED control can be used to control the refresh of the oscillations, allowing the rhythm and timing of the effect to be defined. A tap tempo function is also integrated for maximum control.

Modes for rhythm or atmosphere

Use the MODE button to choose between two characters: SHARP for fast, percussive transitions or SMOOTH for soft, ambient sounds. You can also use VOL and BLEND to precisely adjust the volume and effect level.
