Pitch Fork pedals are very reliable and have good sound quality.</span></em></p> <h3><strong>Big Pitch-shifting Power in a Small Stompbox</strong></h3> <p>The electro-harmonix Pitch Fork polyphonic pitch shifter effects pedal brings a new realm of sound to your playing. Turn your 6-string guitar into an 18-string guitar or send single notes soaring into the stratosphere with razor-sharp precision. You can set the Pitch Fork for your desired pitch shift or use an expression pedal for continuous control of sweeps and multi-octave jumps.</p> <p>The Pitch Fork transposes an instrument&rsquo;s pitch over a +/- three octave range and features three modes which allow the pitch to be transposed up, down or both, simultaneously. The pitch shift amount can be set to a fixed interval or continuously varied by an expression pedal or control voltage. The controls are straightforward and intuitive. An 11-position Shift switch selects the maximum transposition interval ranging from D (Detune), a shift of 17 cents, through Minor 2nd, Major 2nd, Major 3rd, Perfect 4th, Perfect 5th, Major 6th, Minor 7th, 1 Octave, 2 Octaves and 3 Octaves. A three position toggle switch controls whether the pitch is transposed up, down or both. In Dual mode, two pitch-shifted signals are output. One follows the shift knob as if in the Up position while the other creates a harmony. Dual Mode settings include M3 up + P5 up, P5 up + 1 Oct down, 1 Oct up + 1 Oct down and many others. A Blend knob controls the mix of the dry signal and the effected signal, and an EXP jack enables the player to control pitch and glissando with an expression pedal.</p> <h3>Latch/Momentary Mode</h3> <p>The Latch button selects Latch or Momentary mode which affects how the footswitch and EXP input behave. In Latch mode, the footswitch toggles between effect on and buffered bypass each time it&rsquo;s pressed and the EXP input continuously varies pitch. In Momentary mode the effect is only on while the footswitch is depressed and when it is released the Pitch Fork goes into bypass.&nbsp;<br />In Latch mode the EXP input controls pitch shift amount, ranging from unity to the interval set by the Shift knob, and pitch varies continuously throughout the expression pedal&rsquo;s range. In Momentary mode the EXP input controls glissando rate for the Pitch Fork&rsquo;s footswitch. When the bypass footswitch is pressed, the Pitch Fork jumps from bypass to the interval set by the Shift knob. The amount of time it takes to reach that new note is the glissando rate. When the footswitch is released the pitch will return to unity at the same rate. That glissando time can vary between 4 milliseconds to two seconds depending on the heel/toe position of the expression pedal. The default glissando rate is 60 milliseconds when nothing is plugged into the EXP input.</p> <h3>Transpose your guitar or bass up to three octaves</h3> <p>Electro-harmonix's Pitch Fork polyphonic pitch shifter can make your 6-string guitar sing like it a 12- or 18-string guitar, emulate a synth, and get some truly unique sounds without glitches. Choose between single note pitch shifting or dual note (one up and one down) pitch shifting. It works great with bass, too, giving your bottom end even more bottom, and shimmer on the top! You can dial in almost any interval difference you want or use an expression pedal for realtime pitch control. Put a fuzz or distortion pedal in front of the Pitch Fork for synth-like tones and gritty lows.</p> <p><strong>Electro-harmonix Pitch Fork Polyphonic Pitch Shifter Features:</strong></p> <ul> <li>A pitch shifting pedal with a +/- three octave range</li> <li>Glitch-free tracking, even when you're playing your fastest</li> <li>Hook up an expression pedal for real-time pitch shifting or glissando</li> <li>Dry volume control lets you blend in your original signal for harmony effects</li> <li>Latch or momentary modes affect the footswitch and expression pedal</li> <li>Buffered bypass for maximum signal path integrity</li> <li>Powered by 9V battery or the included 9.6DC-200 power supply</li> </ul> <p><strong>Specifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Pedal Type Pitch Shift</li> <li>Inputs 1 x 1/4" (Instrument), 1 x 1/4" (Exp)</li> <li>Outputs 1 x 1/4"</li> <li>Power Supply Included Yes</li> <li>Batteries 1 x 9V</li> <li>Manufacturer Part Number Pitch Fork</li> </ul>
