Used Pigtronix Gloamer Polyphonic Amplitude Synthesizer Pedal

Gloamer is an All-analog, Polyphonic Amplitude Synthesizer that alters the attack and decay time of any sound source without sacrificing the fidelity of the original tone. Its attack function provides a pick-triggered volume swell: a cinematic slow gear effect that is smooth and controllable with variable timing from extremely fast to very slow. The volume swell cycle can be reset at any moment by muting, allowing players to craft bowed string-like lines and chords with ease.

Optical Compressor

Gloamer also features a powerful optical compressor that can add subtle punch or extreme sustain, helping to maintain a smooth volume swell effect even with very long attack times.

Volume Control

A volume knob controls loudness at the peak of the attack cycle, while a master Blend control allows players to layer an uncompressed clean sound in with the volume swell effect.

Decay Function

Additionally, when activated, the Decay function causes notes to fade out once the attack cycle is complete. When the decay cycle is completed, an auto-reset function causes the attack to begin again immediately, as long as there is audio input. This allows you to create a wide range of undulating, asymmetrical tremolos at slower settings as well as pulsating stutter effects when using faster attack and decay times.

Knob-By-Knob

This pedal features Volume, Compression, blend, attack, decay, and sensitivity knobs. The volume knob sets the master output volume of the effect when engaged. Compression determines the balance of clean and compressed signals. Blend determines the balance of clean signal and effect. Attack determines the duration of time it takes for a note to swell from silent to full volume. Decay determines the duration of time it takes for a note to fade out from full volume to silence. Sensitivity determines how much input signal is needed to reset the attack and decay cycle.

Ready LED

Ready LED signals when the pedal is armed and ready to begin the attack and/or decay cycle.

A Hi-Fi Attack and Decay Master

Gloamer was designed to allow players to change the nature of their attack and decay while maintaining pristine, high-fidelity audio. Easily swell blooming single-note lines or full, lush chords and become the string section you've always wanted to hire but can't afford.

A Living, Breathing World

After successfully taming the rambunctious world of Star Eater, Marvin was truly relieved to encounter Gloamer, a zenlike planet that breathes in the cosmos and exhales wisdom. Gratitude is an understatement for how we feel about the meditative tones he brought home.
