Pigtronix Constellator
Pigtronix · pedal
The Pigtronix Constellator is an all-analog modulated delay capable of up to 600 milliseconds of lush echo, built around classic MN3005 bucket-brigade chips for superior headroom and warm, tape-like saturation when pushed. Beyond clean analog repeats it offers adjustable modulation for chorused, watery delay textures, and a Feel toggle that adjusts several LFO parameters at once to recolor the modulation character. The result is a warm, organic delay with everything from short slapback to longer modulated trails, all in a compact pedalboard-friendly enclosure running on standard 9V power. It suits players wanting genuine analog bucket-brigade warmth with modulation, ideal for vintage-flavored slapback, ambient swells, and chorus-tinged repeats that blend naturally with both clean and driven amp tones.
