Pitch Shifter

Digital pitch shifters came of age with the game-changing Digitech Whammy. A pitch shifter, drop-tuner, chorus and harmoniser in one, it remains the gold standard for pitch-shifting – but demands a lot of pedalboard real-estate. Though Digitech have continued to expand its feature set, it’s no longer the only game in town...

DIGITECH WHAMMY V

The Digitech Whammy V is the king of the castle when it comes to pitch-shifters. It has harmony modes, chorus, drop-tune and dive bomb features, as well as +/- 2 octave pitch shifting. Not only that, but it comes with a new mode for polyphonic tracking. Its only downside is its size.

EHX PITCH FORK

Should you need even more octaves to play with, the EHX Pitch Fork allows for +/- 3 octaves in pitch shift mode. If you don’t want to use an expression pedal, it has a smaller footprint than the Whammy. Besides momentary and latching modes, it also has harmony intervals and a blend knob for extra flexibility.
