Pitchfactor! Seriously, other than the EQD arp pedal, I don't think there is anything else in pedal format. Only other thing I can think of is samplers and super duper expensive Eventide racks. There's probably a Lexicon rack that does the arp thing as well.

Zvex one?
Ooh wah?
Seek wah?
Ringtone?
Seektrem?
Tremorama?
Ooh wah II?
SUPER seek wah?
Super ringtone?
Super seek trem?












Subdecay Prometheus dlx? If you're counting filters.

Or are we talking just pitch shifting? in which case, what zvex one? The arpenoid and pitchfactor. The whammy with the help of a midi controller. Maybe the line 6 m series has a pitch arp, patch.

The XP300 and Goodbye 24 can do arpeggiated kinda sounds, you can't really tweak the intervals like a Pitchfactor/Pitchgrinder though so I guess those would be your best bet.

Yeah, apart from that new Arpanoid I'd say the Dwarfcraft Pitchgrinder or Digitech Whammy 5 + Molten Voltage MIDI 5 are the best options.
You could also look for a Montreal Assembly NASA Attribute.

Nice guys.

Yeah I have a robot, but i want an arp i can sort of control, u know?

pitchfactor is probably sitting in a local music store i know of, i can take my board in there when i get my modded microsynth, dude is taking his fucking time.
id rather not have to bend over and twiddle knobs between songs

You prob want the pitch factor than. The line 6 M series can by is pretty limited especially when compared to the PF.
Also if this is used for synth you should consider putting your pedals up next to your keys for maximum tweekage.

Hard to find so kind of moot, but I think red panda made an arp module for those line 6 tone cores a few years back

I remember that one, I think you mean the one made by pk effects? It's called the roller shifter. Didn't really like the video's of it though

Since you already have a DBA Robot, could it be modded to add an exp/cv jack to bypass the control knob to change the rate of the arppegiator? Cause that would be sweet.

you could use the ehx 8 step program with a different pitch shifter pedal. i use mine with the HOG.
