Pigtronix Envelope Phaser EP2

The deepest phaser in the universe

Description

The Pigtronix Envelope Phaser EP2 is a revolutionary phase shifter that can be controlled by envelope or an LFO or a blend of both. The envelope in the EP2 kicks it up a notch with a 'Staccato' function. This circuitry is an 'intelligent envelope' that listens to your playing and quickly discharges the envelope between your notes. This crafty circuit enables incredibly responsive envelope performance, even during rapid fire playing. The EP2's rotary modulation LFO provides adjustable depth and center controls for fine-tuning the frequency range of operation, from subtle swirls to screaming sweeps with a huge range of available speeds. Another crucial addition is the new 'LFO smooth' switch, which automatically reduces the resonance setting when the LFO is in use. This performance friendly function finally lets you switch between corpulent, Mutron style quack and deep, swirling Uni-Vibe sounds with a single footswitch stomp... no knob tweaking necessary on stage! In addition to its unique voice and interactive modulation section, the EP2 incorporates new control options including expression pedals for both SWEEP and SPEED as well as a continuous blend between envelope and LFO modulation sources. The EP2 retains crucial features from the EP-1 such as true bypass switching, plus or minus phase inversion and the Pigtronix' signature 'trigger' input for manipulating the envelope with an external audio source. The EP2 runs on 18-Volts for maximum headroom. Years of work went into the development of this unique and ridiculously funky device. If you are a musician seeking the ultimate analog phaser, this is your pedal!
