“Otherwordly reverbs in a compact package”: Meet the Electro-Harmonix Pico Shimmer Cosmic Reverb
Electro-Harmonix has expanded its lineup of mini pedals with the pocket-sized Pico Shimmer Cosmic Reverb.
Boasting a tiny footprint that’ll be at home on even the most crowded pedalboards, the Pico Shimmer Cosmic Reverb is inspired by the Shimmer settings on EHX’s much-loved Canyon Delay and Oceans 11 Reverb, and offers three settings: Intergalactic, Off-World and Etherdust.

Each of these combines a different blend of reverb, delay and modulation effects, as well as an octaves and string synth engine, EHX says.
Intergalactic is described as a “classic shimmer” made up of polyphonic octaves, reverb, modulated delay and compression, plus a string synthesis engine. “Morph between plate reverb, classic shimmer, and ethereal strings to create cinematic atmospheres beyond time and space,” the brand says.
Meanwhile, Off-World is a more mellow shimmer effect with enhanced delay modulation, while Etherdust is a glitch shimmer effect in which the delay time is randomised, offering stutters ranging from “short granular sparkles to distinct glitch echoes”.

Controls on the pedal include a Blend knob for setting the overall wet/dry mix, a Tone knob sets the brightness of the effect, Time, which controls decay time, a Voice knob for morphing the reverb character, and a Scene mode button for toggling between the pedal’s three main settings.
The Pico Shimmer Cosmic Reverb ships with a standard EHX 9V power supply, and is available now for $149.
