Donner Octave Guitar Pedal, Harmonic Square Digital Octave Pedal Pitch Shifter 7 Shift Types 3 Tone Modes Sharp Detune Flat True Bypass

Product Information

My Review: The DigiTech Whammy originally included an expression pedal that controls the velocity and speed of the pitch-shifting effect. However, this new edition has replaced the expression pedal with more onboard controls, which makes it possible to use the device as a harmonizer. Who is this best suited for: Behringer pedals are suitable for guitarists who perhaps don’t want to spend a lot of money on individual effects, but still require access to high-quality tone-shaping options. My Review: Behringer is renowned for producing affordable pedals, which are often based on the designs of more expensive models. The US600 Ultra Shifter/Harmonizer is essentially a clone of the aforementioned BOSS Harmonizer, and it comes very close to the high standard set by that pedal. Premium Sounds - 128-note voice polyphony, 128 voices , 83 rhythms, 47 demo songs, 8 reverb effects and two built in 15W speakers that deliver room-filling sound.

Before testing this pedal, I was slightly skeptical because so much of the original Whammy effect came from the sudden movement of the expression pedal. I discovered that by using the momentary switch and selecting a harmony interval, I was able to combine the pitch-shifting effect with warm-sounding additional notes. Guitar harmonizer pedals vary in terms of the controls and parameters they feature. Some are designed more simplistically, while others use complex digital processors to allow the musician to create complex harmonies to accompany their riffs, melodies, and chords. Who Is This Best Suited For: I’d recommend the EHX Pitch Fork pedal to musicians who like to be in complete control of their effects and the way they interact with their instrument’s clean tone. This pedal looks deceptively simple, but you can alter any aspect of the pitch by adjusting the various onboard settings. I’ve tested several Donner stompboxes in the past, and have found that they each have one quality in common – ease of use. The Harmonic Square continues this trend. The large rotary control in the center of the pedal is used to adjust the interval between the dry note of the guitar and the reproduced harmony.When recording your harmonizer pedal, you can either connect it directly to the input on your audio interface and capture the audio in your chosen DAW, or use a microphone that is placed in front of your amplifier speaker.

My Review: Since Donner burst onto the scene in 2012, I’ve watched with a keen eye as they rapidly evolved into one of the leading affordable guitar pedal producers. The Harmonic Square is their flagship harmonizer and an octave pedal. The Data Corrupter combines synth-like modulation with the capabilities of a harmonizer pedal. I was impressed by its ability to produce complex harmonics which reach three octaves up or down from the dry note played on your guitar. The Mooer Pure Octave is a mini-size octave pedal with versatile blending options and a wide choice of octave modes. It comes with eleven different octave settings with up to five available octaves in a single setting. This pedal will easily fit in any pedalboard and stay there for a while thanks to its rugged metal chassis. A good choice for those with very limited space. Features

If you love playing dreamy chord sequences and are tired of using your chorus or reverb pedals to add texture to them, Particle V2 is the pedal for you. It turns the guitar signal into a fluid, momentary stream. 10. EarthQuaker Devices Arpanoid V2 Buffered harmonizer pedals, on the other hand, work by boosting the guitar’s signal to an optimal level. This ensures that as the signal travels through the chain, it doesn’t diminish in terms of its strength. It’s recommended that you begin your signal chain with a buffered pedal if possible, as this will provide an adequate boost. This octave pedal allows you to blend an octave below and octave above a given note, balancing the sounds with the responsive controls. A single input and two outs allow you to split the dry and wet signals. On the pedal, you’ll find a Blend (Dry/Wet) control knob, a Shift selector knob, a three-way toggle switch for setting whether I want to pitch shift Up, Down, or both ways, a Latch push-button for activating the Latch feature on the footswitch, and of course, the footswitch.

A good quality PSU allows you to supply all of your pedals with the optimal voltage they require to function properly. The unit is connected to the pedal using power cables, and these can be left in place to save you time when you need to use your pedals. After testing many of EarthQuaker Devices’ pedals, I’m constantly impressed by the way they manage to design them in such a simple and easy-to-use way, whilst leaving the door open for complex tonal and dynamic effects. The Organizer V2 provides guitarists with endless possibilities for layering their tone with octaves and harmonies. I must admit I was a little unsure about the design of this pedal at first. Each of the different fuzz and harmonizer controls is named after various types of bees, which is unusual, to say the least. However, I love the freedom that the pedal provides when you start to blend the five tones using the parameters. My Review: DigiTech’s Whammy Ricochet is a multi-dimensional pitch shifter pedal. It can be used in one of two ways – either in a controlled, calculated manner or in a seemingly random frenzy of pitch-based modulation. The Mooer Pitch Step was displayed for the first time at the NAMM show three years ago (2018), and it was a game-changer – this little pitch-shifter/pitch-bender was modern and reliable, yet affordable and easy-to-use. It is very compact, and it can be powered either by a 9V power or by a battery, which makes it very pedalboard-friendly. With the Mooer Pitch-step, you can pitch shift up and down an octave.Who Is This Best Suited For: Donner’s Harmonic Square is one of the most affordable pitch shifter pedals on the market, so I’d highly recommend it to musicians who perhaps want to invest some of their budgets into other effects too. Octave pedals work in the same way as pitch shifter devices, however, rather than modulating the pitch based on semitones or other intervals, they only move it up or down by an octave. They’re also usually monophonic, and can’t be used for chords.
