i'm surprised there aren't more pedals like the pollyanna.

imagine a pollyanna with an effects loop. pop a chorus in there, and BAM. instant 12 string tones

The morpheus stuff looks pretty cool but one of the things I love about lower tunings is string slack and I don't think they can replicate that

and a pollyanna with an effects loop would be flipping sweet
more pedals with effects loops would be way high up on my list of things that need to happen as well

The morpheus is impressive technology-wise but I don't really see the point. For the price of it you could just buy a cheap guitar for lower tunings which would probably sound about as bad as the shifting down (note, never actually used one but I have heard things about it sounding weird and just can't imagine a pitch shifter that actually sounds natural), or you could just man up and tune really low and if anything is higher, play it higher up the fretboard...

I was stoked on it to come out. Played one and was underwhelmed. Switching was annoying and the digital was uber digital.

[sonidero]

I just mostly meant the Bomber thing cause yall were going nuts over the pitchshifting...

[fiddelerselbow]

I really wanna try one though. I'd love something that'd could do glitchy pitch shifts up and down and have a decent 2 octave down mode.

I want this so bad. I don't have 10 pedals but I want this so bad.

The guitarist in my covers band tried out a Morpheus, ended up trading it in for a Whammy DT, which blew it out of the water. The Whammy DT is one of the most insanely fully featured pitchshifters I've ever seen. It has the droptune section, which is all polyphonic (which is key for us because we play songs in like 5 different tunings, and constantly switching guitars between every song would be ridiculous. It also has the standard whammy section, which can still do the crazy monophonic freak-out warbly glitchy thing. It still has some digital-ness to the DT side, but we're almost always playing with some distortion or fuzz. It's pretty rare that we're tuned down and clean.

mastodon uses the morpheus drop tune thang to great effect. a lot of the super low down riffs are used with guitars in d standard, which are then dropped further with the morpheus.

i actually really like the digitalness of old/shitty pitch shifters and wondered why people dont go into that more because really accurate sounding pitch shifters always weird me out, unless its like a Floyd or a kahler or w/e

[ryan summit]

when pitch shifter shopping i looked at morpheus
not as many options as whammy
i tune d stan
and goin below 2 oct was inaudible with my rig
my boners for 3 voice anyway

Pedals with two foot switches (like On/off switch and boost switch) need to go from Right to Left (meaning: on/off right, boost left) for it to make sense to me, dont know if this is a trend or something but they fucking HAVE to go that way!! And top mounted jacks is awesome!

[bugzaney]

most pitch shifters do it, but only a few iterations of the whammy set the range for the expression pedal.


i'm kinda obsessed with pitch shifters, so i've always been trying to think of the most comprehensive pitch shift pedal that isn't made by Eventide and doesn't involve presets and stuff

You should really look into the digitech time bender. Im pretty obsessed with pitch shifters myself (ive got 5 pitch/octave pedals )and its by far one of the coolest pitch toys ive played with.

[dubkitty]

an affordable 12-stage phaser.
clean octave down.
a fuzz/distortion with two iterations of the same circuit so you can gain-match for the compressed Bob Mould sound.
an affordable tremolo that'll do regular tremolo AND Vox Percussion-style short pulsewidth.
