Finger on the Pulsar
’Vixy lady
THE SUPER Pulsar pimps the Pulsar to
deliver digital control of analogue stereo
tremolo. A series of button presses
allows you to tweak the full eight-step
sequencer, but there are some great
presets available. Then there’s the
envelope circuit, which adjusts the
depth and rate according to your
playing dynamics, plus expression
control over any parameter. Glitchy
rhythms, rapid-fire blips, flutey
fade-ins… it’s all here, and creative
guitarists will find a lot to love.
FOR A company famed for its fuzz, it’s
surprising it’s taken EHX this long to
release a dedicated octave fuzz, but the
Octavix is worth the wait. It positively
screams with single-note lines around
the 12th fret, made more intense and
Octavio-like by flicking the voltage
switch to 24 volts for a more precise,
tighter fuzz sound. Dial the octave out,
and you get a squashy, gated-style fuzz
that’s super-saturated for noise-fests.
It’s not the most versatile octave fuzz,
but it’s one of the most enjoyable.
but it’s one of the most enjoyable.
