From portable to powerful and everything in between, these new releases are a level up!
Eventide Audio MICROPITCH DELAY PEDAL
The Eventide Audio MicroPitch Delay integrates its iconic MicroPitch Delay digital signal processing algorithm in a standalone pedal. The MicroPitch Delay algorithm has been a mainstay of audio production and musical performance since it was first introduced within the legendary H910 and H949 effects processors and H3000 Harmonizer. Now players can harness the power of this Eventide effect with the MicroPitch Delay pedal, which offers a unique combination of dual pitch-shifters with fine-resolution de-tuning, delay and modulation — including new positiveenvelope and negative-envelope modulation sources. Its sonic applications range from subtle tone thickening to creating a rich stereo spread, and a host of creative sound design special effects. The pedal can store up to 127 presets in memory, with five presets loaded at a player’s feet for access from a latching/momentary dual-action active footswitch with a “Catch-up” mode to help players dial in their sound when toggling between presets/parameters.
