#Detune pedals free
I also wanted warranty with an expensive pedal like that, so I bit the bullet and bought the H9, and used the one free algorithm you get with the pedal to 'buy' the MicroPitch algorithm. But the H9 has more options, and is smaller. Initially, I looked at a used Eventide Pitchfactor, which can be had for $250, if you're lucky.
Even in a mono setting, it would sound bigger than any of the strict mono pedals out there. With accurate polyphonic harmonies, the PS-6 is easily one of the most effective and useful pedals for players who are looking for a pitch shifter pedal primarily for it’s harmonizing capabilities.
#Detune pedals series
I got the PS-3 in the hopes of replacing two Hotone Harmony's with a single stereo pedal, as the PS-3 is the only Boss series pitch pedal that sums to mono. The detune effect provides a lush and musical chorus effect while the super bend mode allows you to unlock Whammy-like functionality. I enjoyed this one the most, notched settings on the dial are helpful.ĥ) Boss PS-3: sounded pretty good, but an absolute pain to set just right - no notched settings, small knobs in cramped interface, making it very difficult to get it just right. Lack of warmth, couldn't get rid of this one fast enough.Ĥ) Hotone Harmony: had a mix knob as opposed to the Pitchbox, my reason for getting it (and still budget). Unreliable - failed within a year.ģ) Digitech Luxe: this one sounded worse than the Pitchbox. Noisy (flanging artifact even when off!) No Mix capability. My pedal journey:ġ) Boss PS-5: it sounded very artificial to my ears, lack of warmth.Ģ) Mooer Pitchbox: was really excited about this one at first, until I learned to listen to what it did to my overall sound. I wanted to get as close to the -9/+9 of the Eventide H3000 used during that time-frame. After experiencing the H9 MicroPitch algorithm in person, all those budget pedals now seem like toys to me.įrom the get-go my point of reference was the Van Halen live sound of 1991-1995. Ditto with the budget pedals for this sound.
It looks like a tomato, smells like a tomato, is spotless on the outside. For those looking for this sound, consider this: Buying a budget detune pedal is like buying a greenhouse tomato in the middle of winter, labeled as 'farm fresh'. As much as I love the detune sound, I should have just gone out and bought the real thing the first time, Eventide (H9 or PitchFactor) - there's just no contest.
