Rainger Fx DeepSpace Pulsar Sidecar w/Igor and contact Microphone

This is a sidechainer pedal, an effect that ducks your instruments signal each time it gets a trigger capable of putting deep spaces into your sound!

Its an effect thats heard on many recordings, often subtly like when a rock rhythm guitar is sidechained with the kick drum, so every time the kick drum hits, the guitar volume dips slightly for that instant giving a really powerful overall effect The guitar sounds pumping, or spring-loaded!
Or its sometimes used strongly, to make the signal completely disappear with each kick drum, as in big 4-on-the-floor club tunes. All were talking about is change in volume the Deep Space Pulsar doesnt affect your tone in any way, and sounds great with bass guitar!

Whatever way you use it, this sidechaining effect has NEVER been so easily available and controllable as with the Deep Space Pulsar! (Up to now, its always been an effect thats added in post-production hardly ever live).

It comes with a microphone; put that inside your drummers kick drum, plug it into the top end panel of the pedal and youre ready to go! The pedal sits there waiting for the drummer to play.

The Dip knob adjusts the amount of dip to the signal, Rel controls the speed of the release; how quickly the sound rises back up, and Vol is the volume the pedal can go quite loud, more than compensating for any loss in overall level due to all the ducking. The LED display gives a visual indication of the amount and length of ducking.

TAP TEMPO

However when instead you plug in the Igor pressure pad controller, the Deep Space Pulsar has tap tempo a fully correctable facility enabling it to work if youre playing along to a DJ or drum machine. Two presses of the Igor programs a tempo (the record LED coming on to show that the tempo is being recorded and its waiting for the second press), and at any point that tempo can be adjusted to bring it back into sync with the music, enabling the pulsing to stay in time for long periods.

Pressing on Igor for 1 second erases the tempo, for you to start again at a different tempo.

Or alternatively trigger it from a gate signal voltage! This needs a mono cable (sleeve 0V, tip signal), and each jump in voltage creates a pulse in the pedal (like a single bass drum hit would).

PUSH-BUTTON SWITCHES

Theres a Pad button to alter the sensitivity of the microphone, and also an Inv button to invert the whole effect; no sound is heard until the kick drum (or tap tempo) hits, when a pulse of signal is let through introducing whole new kinds of sounds!

This is a revolutionary effect, designed specifically for those that play with other people whether in bands, clubs or studios.
