Eventide PitchFactor Harmonizer Delay Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
The Eventide PitchFactor puts a palette of pitch effects at your feet: octaves, harmonizers, choruses, arpeggios, modulations, and even synth-like effects.

The Eventide PitchFactor harmonizer/delay pedal offers you a multitude of stunning pitch-based effects from a single unit -- gathering Eventide's best pitch-changing effects from the past 4 decades, and adding 1.5 seconds of stereo delay for truly inspiring tonal creation. With this do-everything pedal, you get 4 voices of pitch shifting, expression pedal control of any combination of parameters, full MIDI control, instrument or line-level ins and outs, true bypass, and a built-in tuner.

Recreate classic guitar effects like choruses and harmonizers, trigger and manipulate complex arpeggios, simulate synth-like effects -- all from one fully expandable stompbox that's upgradeable via USB 2.0.

Control Complex Harmonies

Eventide's PitchFactor offers ten pitch-shift types with the ability to control up to two types at once -- with independent pitch and delay controls for each -- with controls for adjusting the balance of both effects as well as the overall effect level. Basic modulation controls like depth and speed are provided, and of course you can set the key and the scale you would like to harmonize with. There's also two auxiliary knobs -- Xnob and Ynob -- which control different parameters depending on which effect is selected. You can also connect an external expression pedal, allowing for yet another level of user customizability.

I have a DigiTech GNX3 a TimeFactor and a PitchFactor...just short of the EvenTide H8000HW, this is alllll I need. It will take 2 life times to use all the features I have at my feet!

Sound
Outstanding sound. Outstanding quality. Oustanding versitility. The sounds/delays are infinitly adjustible! The description dose not do justice to the product. It reads as if you are buying a Z06 vet and getting an Lamboghini. By itself is a sweet sound, used in conjunction with other equipment is seamless and makes it even more versitile.

Features
A very well read booklet and some simple cheat sheets, if you will. Its an EvenTide, quality componets and materials. No frills, just stright forward controls. What the description dose not tell you is that the effects can be controled with a WHA-WHA pedal to sweep thru the already set up presets that are also adjustable and saveable. Very cool and very sweet. You can hook up 3 control switchs to control 6 parameters all thru one AUX port. And the MIDI controls are out of this world. If you have a computer sequencer/software....Im just speachless!!

Ease of Use
The presets in there own right are enough to satisfy anyone on there own. When you add in the several ( 10 knobs, a/b sides) and the adjustibility...well its just mind blowing! A turn of a knob and your are in a diffrent world, that easy.

Quality
Its EvenTide..need read more I say more?

Value
Worth every cent!!

Manufacturer Support
Connect a usb and download product updates, back up a single preset or all or the whole system. Top notch. There web site is cool.

The Wow Factor
Stright forward design, features and layout, simple easy, this switch dose this this knob dose that.

Musical Background:
20+ years Vai level

Musical Style:
Sweet melodic to OMG
