Some pedals sit quietly on your board doing their one job. The EHX Pico Shimmer showed up with a telescope, a synthesizer, and three distinct personalities — and it has absolutely no intention of blending into the background.
Built on the shimmer DNA of EHX's award-winning Oceans Reverb series, this compact reverb pedal packs reverb, modulation, delay, and synthesis into a housing small enough to lose in your gig bag. It doesn't just add space to your sound. It adds a whole galaxy.
Forget one-size-fits-all reverb. The Pico Shimmer gives you three distinct Scenes to work with, each built around a completely different sonic character. Flipping between them is like switching between three alternate dimensions — each one weirder and more wonderful than the last.
Despite its compact size, the Pico Shimmer isn't shy about control options. The knob layout is clean and intuitive, and once you unlock the Secondary Knob Functions, you realize there's a whole second layer of sound-shaping sitting just beneath the surface. It's like discovering a secret menu at your favorite restaurant, except this one involves modulation depth.
Hold the footswitch. Watch what happens. The Pico Shimmer lets you access Infinite Reverb on the fly for massive, sustaining pad-like washes that could make even the most stoic guitarist forget what song they're playing. Beyond that party trick, the pedal also handles bypass in three distinct ways — because one bypass mode is clearly for people who settle.
The EHX Pico Shimmer is the rare compact pedal that genuinely punches above its weight class without making a big deal about it. Three distinct shimmer reverb Scenes, deep secondary controls, Infinite Reverb access, and flexible bypass options — all wrapped in a board-friendly enclosure. It's built for players who want more than just reverb, and it delivers every time you step on it.
Shimmer reverb layers pitch-shifted octaves on top of a reverb tail to create that expansive, celestial sound you've heard on countless recordings. The Pico Shimmer takes it further by combining shimmer with modulation, delay, synthesis, and three unique Scene modes, making it far more versatile than a standard shimmer reverb pedal.
Yes, it was essentially designed with ambient players in mind. The Infinite Reverb feature, long decay times, and synth-style textures in Off-World and Etherdust make it a strong choice for drone, post-rock, and ambient soundscaping.
The VOICE knob continuously morphs the reverb character between three flavors: clean plate reverb, classic shimmer, and ethereal string synthesis. You can blend between them smoothly rather than jumping between fixed settings, giving you precise control over the texture of the effect.
Yes, its compact Pico format is specifically built for space-conscious boards. Despite its small size, it doesn't sacrifice functionality, making it one of the more feature-rich options available in that footprint.
Intergalactic is the classic shimmer mode featuring polyphonic octaves, plate reverb, and string synthesis. Off-World is a smoother, more atmospheric shimmer with vintage synth textures. Etherdust is a glitch-style shimmer where the delay time randomizes, producing granular sparkles and stuttered echoes.
