Detune Effect with Mono Setup

[messenger]

Any way to approximate the EVH detune effect to thicken my tone up using a single cab (mono) and without spending a ton of cash ($100 pedal would be great ?)

Boss PS-5 or DC-3. For under $100.

The Waza DC-2 is bad ass. But a bit more.

Oh and my Corona Chorus has a tone print imitating the DC-2. Sounds pretty bad ass.

And it is very not expensive.

His detune is pitch related if I'm correct. The delayed lines are chorus based and move the image around. I'm into getting a detune so I'm all ears when it comes to this topic.

Detune = Micro pitch shift. The voices are not moving, they are static. Even with the delay for the voices set to 0 ms, there is still some latency going on for the wet signal. So it's basically slightly delayed and pitched up and down respectively. +7/-7, +9/-9, +7/-9, +11/-13 are typical settings for left/right. You generally also have more delay on the lower voice (if you use the delay parameter at all).

When going mono, I suggest just using one voice. I prefer the lower one.

This^^^

You can get a used luxe for $50-$80. Sounds great for a slight detune in the loop.

The Neunaber Chroma Chorus does a great detune sound, not sure how much they go for in US$ though.

This^^^^can u post your rig?

Another option is to save up more and get an Eventide Pitchfactor. It will recognize and compensate for a mono signal. As a bonus the delays aren't bad with it either.

I got a boss CH1 super chorus a while back hoping to do this... not great. Not sure what led me to the CH1

 

[mrhiwatt]

I use a Luxe . Does the job.

The other factor in getting the EVH detune sound is to make sure it is placed post dirt. If you're getting your gain from your amp, put it in the loop.

Digitech Luxe is pretty good and I have it and the Eventide H9 on my board. I like both. H9 is expensive of course but they have the EVH algorithms already programmed in for you. Luxe can be found cheap online used. H9 basic model is 300 I think? H9 does a bunch of other things and its a fun pedal.

 

[legend71]

yes definitely use in the LOOP!

I do this on my Axe-Fx III. +9/-9. Sounds great. I prefer it over a Chorus effect.

Bumping. I was listening to some early 90’s live AIC when Jerry was playing the MM EVH guitars and likely the 5150’s behind the stage. You could tell he was using a detune/pitch shift effect and his live sound was massive.

I too am the lone rhythm/lead guitar player in a hard rock band and want to try this effect to thicken up the live tone a bit.

What’s the latest pedal people love to get this effect that isn’t a huge pedal and isn’t crazy expensive?

cheers.

The boss PS6 or 5 has a detune effect that is awesome. In mono it sounds killer. And stereo well, sounds out of this world.

YMMV.

 

[itsme]

I use my Eventide H9 for this

Nice. That would be possible, and the ultimate option for my needs, but looking for something a bit smaller footprint and basic. But I’ve been looking at them used online.

Cheers!
