Pitch Shifters

Pitch Shifter Pedals have been used by guitarists to create a transformed and adjusted sound. Pitch shifter pedals have the ability to raise or lower a guitars signal by a preset interval, resulting in a pitch shifting audio. This sound effect has a stand out quality as it can be used to produce harmonized solos, or expressive, wild layers of sound to be creative with.

Some of the best pitch shifter pedals have been Digitech Whammy pedals. These are great expression pedals that allow the tone to be shifted from a semi-tone to two full octaves. This has been popularised by guitarists such as Dimebag from Pantera and Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine. Other pitch shifter pedals such as The Electro-Harmonix pitch shifter or Digitech Drop pedal can detune the notes while they are being played. Easy and simple without the need to retune your instrument. Create classic whammy sound, modulated effects with pitch shifter pedals to give new textures and levels of expression within you music.

A pitch shifter offers up an excellent selection of ways to change and manipulate your sound. From creating harmonising layers to changing the pitch of your signal either up or down, there are many options to choose from. A pitch shifter pedal can be used for writing, live performance or studio recording.
