M13's harmonizer is, yes. The rest of it, not so much.
The harmonizer in almost everything I've ever owned is, whether it's labelled as a pitch shifter or harmonizer or whatever. The big multifx units have great stuff in them, I'm no hater, but some things really do take a certain amount of processor/setup/programming from the manufacturer to get right, and the harmonizer is thute mother of all things in this category,
Harmony man is decent but limited in options. For most of the stuff, works alright, but it lacks the finesse of the Eventide units. It's a good 'do I need a harmonizer/will it possibly do what I want?' pedal.
Never tried the one I had on extended loan on bass, but suspect it's probably decent as pitch tracking is pitch tracking generally - if it works it works. It did fine with a cheap old Casio synth from the stone age when I tested it not on guitar.

Re: Lets talk about harmonizers for bass
So I looked into the Pitchfactor some more, via no more than two videos on YouTube, and I'm not really sold. I don't know if its the modes or tones, but I'm just not convinced that it would be a good investment (unless I can get it really cheap). I feel like I might be able to get away with just a Boss PS6. I gotta try one out, though. Maybe I should just stick with ring mods?
