FAQs
What kind of power supply does the Micro Stereo Pulsar need?
It operates on a 9V battery or a 9V DC power adapter (center negative).
Can I use the pedal with a bass guitar?
Yes, it is compatible with bass guitars.
What is the difference between the triangle and square wave modes?
The triangle wave provides a smooth, gradual tremolo, while the square wave creates a more abrupt, choppy tremolo effect.

Use the footswitch to engage and disengage the effect. When disengaged, the signal passes through in bypass mode.
What is the function of the Shape knob?
The Shape knob allows you to customize the waveform's modulation, offering a range of tremolo variations.
Is the pedal true bypass?
The pedal switches to bypass mode when disengaged via the footswitch.
What is the benefit of the stereo output?
The stereo output creates a wider stereo image, enhancing the overall tremolo effect, especially when using two amplifiers.
Troubleshooting

Check the input and output connections. Ensure the pedal is receiving power (battery or adapter). Check the amplifier's volume.
