Good Micropitch pedal recommendation (other than Eventide)

[stratjacket]

Besides Eventide Pitchfactor or H9, are there any good micropitch pedals out there?

I have looked at youtube videos of Boss pedals, Earthquaker Pitch Bay, ElectroHarm Pitch Fork and a few others, but they don't seem to be able to do a micropitch similar to the Eventide stuff. I love the Pitchfactor and H9, but really hoping to add a micropitch without spending ~$400.

Are there pedals I'm missing or if I want a good micropitch, is Eventide the only option?

It´s not exactly the same as the Eventide micro pitch, but the Yamaha Magicstomp has the Pitch C algorithm from the old SPX90 rack units which is the other main flavor of detune from back in the day.

I have a Mimiq pedal that works something like that. Not exactly sure what you are after.

This is why I bought the pedal.

Have you checked out Neunbar Chroma Chorus. I thought I had read it was a pitch based chorus.

Digitech luxe.

I'll check out the TC Doubler more.
I also read about the Chroma being more micro pitch than chorus. I looked at what few videos I could find on it and I couldn't tell to be honest.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll look at the Luxe more.

Basically I am looking for something that can go up a few cents and down a few cents with a blend knob. Most pedals do steps or octaves and are great for that, but I'm surprised I can't find much in terms of micro pitch.

Another thing to consider is that the typical micro pitch effect doesn't really work that well in mono. It is a spread thing. I think that might be why the pedal business never really caught on doing detunes. As far as I know the Magicstomp is the only pedal apart from the Eventides that has two voices of detune in stereo with the full set of controls.

There was one of the Digitech iOS pedals that did the up and down with blend but I haven't seen one in a while and not sure if the app still exists. I used the Boss PS pedals but you need 2..

 

[Dave L]

Yeah, the iStomp had a dual detune. No control over the delay times there, though, which is pretty crucial.

Used pitchfactor's or h9's for under 400 all day long.The tc g system when tweaked comes pretty close,but youd be hard pressed to find one of those for under 4 bills..but I have seen the PF & H9 used for in the high 2's-low3's.

Did anyone check out that Digitech "Whammy" with the regular pedal? I have not..but I wondered how good it was.

 

[stratjacket]

I had a Whammy once a few years ago, after the initial playing around with it, I was done. I didn't like it very much and returned it. It seemed toyish to me, I'm sure there are many who make it useful though.

What I have found is...if you're running a mono rig, it's best to use a simple pitch shift. (meaning one voice) If you use a dual detune...it doesn't retranslate nearly as well unless you're running stereo. Running mono, when I pitchshift one side up or down say 10 cents, (blend to taste) I've gotten the best results. YMMV.

As far as pedals: Chromo Chorus, M5, iStomp, Luxe, PS-5...
