Overview

A spectral decomposer pedal for glitchy, synth-like textures.

The Electro-Harmonix Pico Atomic Cluster Spectral Decomposer reimagines what a guitar effects pedal can do. Compact yet wildly expressive, it transforms your signal into swirling, rhythmic textures that shift between fuzz, filter, and synth-like resonance. Inside, a proprietary algorithm dissects your tone at the frequency level, rebuilding it as pulsing oscillations that move with your playing. The ATOMS and SPEED controls define how dense and dynamic the effect becomes—ranging from subtle harmonic movement to full-spectrum chaos—while a tap tempo keeps everything locked to your groove. Whether shaping ambient soundscapes, glitchy beats, or new lead tones, the Pico Atomic Cluster turns experimentation into inspiration.

Unique Algorithm Creates Spectral Oscillations

The Pico Atomic Cluster features a one-of-a-kind algorithm that reduces your instrument's frequency resolution, generating resonant oscillations directly related to your input signal. By breaking down your tone to its atomic components, this pedal unlocks a range of creative effects, including rhythmic glitch patterns and lush ambient textures. Whether used live or in the studio, this unique technology provides a platform for exploring uncharted sonic territories.

Advanced Knobs Provide Precision Control

The pedal’s ATOMS and SPEED knobs provide intuitive control over the number and timing of oscillations. Adjust ATOMS to fine-tune harmonic complexity, from single-note clarity to full-spectrum chaos. Use SPEED to control oscillator refresh rates, with slower settings mimicking rhythmic filters and faster settings creating unpredictable, glitchy effects. Combined with tap tempo functionality, these controls empower players to dynamically shape their sound with ease.

Mode Selector Adjusts Oscillation Transition Shapes

The Pico Atomic Cluster includes a MODE button that toggles between SHARP and SMOOTH oscillation envelopes. SHARP mode delivers instant transitions for rhythmic and percussive effects, while SMOOTH mode offers gradual fades for more ambient and melodic textures. These two modes ensure versatility in shaping the transition behavior, helping musicians tailor their effects for any creative scenario.

Compact Design and Reliable Build Quality

Electro-Harmonix has designed the Pico Atomic Cluster to be compact and pedalboard-friendly. Its space-saving dimensions and durable construction make it a practical addition for gigging or studio use. With top-mounted jacks for cleaner setups and an included power supply, this pedal is ready for seamless integration into your rig while reliably delivering innovative tones for years to come.

Electro-Harmonix Pico Atomic Cluster Inspires Bold Creativity

For musicians and sound designers looking to push the boundaries of their sonic exploration, the Pico Atomic Cluster spectral decomposer provides an unmatched platform for creating glitchy, synth-like atmospheres. Its advanced algorithm and intuitive controls make it ideal for crafting sounds that captivate and command attention. Unlock new tonal possibilities and expand your creative horizons with this groundbreaking effects pedal.
