Welcome!
Thank you for entering the realm of Pigtronix. The Envelope Phaser you
now possess is a thorough re-design of the original Pigtronix pedal, the
ridiculously funky EP-1. The upgrades to the EP2 are more than just
additional features fit into a smaller package. Working with effects genius,
Howard Davis, we have created a completely new phasing architecture
that is not found in any other pedal or effects processor to date.
The EP2 sweeps through and accentuates the harmonic content of any
musical source. The motion of the phase shifter can be controlled either
by Envelope, LFO or a combination of both modulation sources.
The new envelope follower section of the EP2 can sweep the phase shifter
either up or down and features the new “staccato” function for rapid fire
playing. This new feature quickly discharges the envelope when you
mute, allowing the envelope to “pop” on every note.
The new LFO has adjustable Depth and Center knobs for tailoring the
sweep to the exact frequency range desired. In addition, we have also
added an “LFO smooth” switch that automatically reduces the resonance
setting when the LFO is in use. This allows the musician to toggle between
a funky FAT envelope with lots of resonance and a creamy Uni-Vibe tone,
just by pressing the left footswitch.
In keeping with Pigtronix tradition, the controls on the EP2 have been
tuned to provide the fattest possible tone and the widest range of musical
possibilities.
The EP2 was born out of a passion for versatile, expressive
musical effects; it is built to last and designed to inspire.
We hope that the EP2 will provide you with years of creative satisfaction.
