Product Information
Full details
The Electro Harmonix Pico Shimmer is designed for ambient guitarists, synth players, and sound designers looking to create vast, ethereal soundscapes in a footprint that saves significant board space. By combining reverb, modulation, and synthesis, it transforms simple notes into immersive, celestial textures; however, users should note that its extreme compact size requires a dedicated power supply as it does not support internal battery power.

FAQs
Does the Pico Shimmer come with a power supply?
No, the Pico Shimmer requires an external 9V DC center-negative power supply, which is sold separately.
Can I run this in a mono effects loop?
Yes, the pedal is designed to function effectively in both standard mono instrument chains and mono effects loops.
What is the difference between the three scenes?
Intergalactic provides a classic bright shimmer, Off-World offers a mellow, darker reverb character, and Astral features a glitchy, synth-like texture.
Is the Pico Shimmer analog or digital?
It is a digital pedal that uses complex processing algorithms to emulate reverb, modulation, and synthesis.
How do I activate the infinite reverb?
The infinite reverb is achieved through the internal processing settings accessed via the pedal's controls to sustain your current soundscape indefinitely.
Troubleshooting
No sound output
Ensure the power supply is connected, the indicator light is on, and the cables are securely plugged into the correct Input and Output jacks.
Excessive background noise
Confirm that you are using a 9V DC isolated power supply; shared power daisy chains can introduce ground loop noise to digital pedals.
Sound cuts out abruptly
Check your cable connections; if using the infinite reverb feature, ensure you are not accidentally triggering a bypass signal with your foot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely compact size fits any pedalboard
- Diverse range of ethereal and synth-like textures
- High-quality algorithms derived from Oceans Reverb series
- Infinite sustain feature for ambient pads
Cons
- No internal battery option
- Requires external power supply (not always included)
- Small chassis limits physical knob spacing for some users
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The unit requires a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply. Because the pedal relies on digital processing, it is recommended to use an isolated power source to minimize noise. To clean the chassis, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth; avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Ensure the pedal is placed on a flat, non-conductive surface when not mounted to a pedalboard to prevent short-circuiting the input or output jacks.
