The ultra-wide sound that defined an era

The Eventide MicroPitch Delay is a stereo delay effect that allows guitarists to very finely detune the signals of the two delayed stereo channels: Combined with the dry guitar signal, this creates an ultra-wide sound, one that will be very familiar to fans of guitar legends like Eddie Van Halen and Steve Stevens. With the MicroPitch Delay, musicians can thus instantly replicate the immediately recognisable sounds of the '70s and '80s. The device has 127 preset slots, with five instantly accessible via footswitch on one single bank, and it also supports MIDI clock sync.

Eventide MicroPitch Delay

Full to the brim with functions and features

The technology behind the Eventide MicroPitch Delay can be traced all the way back to the classic Eventide H910 Harmonizer, an early digital effect that had slight timing variations in its modulation frequency. Studios quickly learned to exploit this by pairing two units in stereo – thus creating an exceptionally wide sound. With the advent of the H949 Harmonizer, Eventide made the original pitch-shifting function even more subtle – hence the term MicroPitch. While not as complex as those titans of the studio, the modern MicroPitch pedal still has a fairly comprehensive set of controls – principally because each knob offers a secondary layer of functions, unlocking detailed adjustments for modulation types, stereo delay, feedback, and more. The connectivity on offer includes a switchable mono/stereo input, two mono outputs, an expression pedal input, and a mini-USB port for MIDI-over-USB and software updates.

Eventide MicroPitch Delay, accessories

Hold the line

The Eventide MicroPitch Delay puts an iconic modulation effect in the hands of guitarists and bassists chasing an ultra-wide sound; its focused funtionality makes it a perfect fit for musicians who prefer a custom-built pedalboard over an all-in-one digital floor unit. The footswitch can activate bypass mode or load one of five presets from the active bank. And while the tone may be pleasingly old-school, the operation is thoroughly modern: The Eventide Device Manager software offers full control of the presets, the unit has four different bypass modes, and any combination of parameters can be assigned to an expression pedal. What this means is that it's not just guitarists and bassists who'll love the MicroPitch – synth players, DJs, and indeed all recording enthusiasts will too, thanks to a little guitar/line-level switch that makes level matching easy for a whole host of applications.

About Eventide

The US manufacturer Eventide is one of the pioneers of digital audio technology. The company has existed since the early 1970s and began with developments in the broadcasting sector and digital delay effects. As early as 1974 they unveiled the H910, a pitch shifter revolutionary at the time. The H3000 (1986) was milestone in the field of digital effects and was very popular with professional musicians in recording studios and live performances. The following generations of this model were ever more powerful and culminated in the current flagship H9000. Since 2007, Eventide has also been developing compact pedals, primarily for guitarists and keyboard players. To this day, Eventide's algorithms are considered among the best on the market.

Give any instrument an ultra-wide sound

The Eventide MicroPitch Delay can make guitar riffs in styles as disparate as Rock, Pop, Hard Rock, and Metal sound ultra-wide. The effect will also help guitar solos stand out in the mix without needing to crank the volume or, worse, losing their place in the frequency spectrum. But the MicroPitch Delay's range also stretches to unique, psychedelic textures, all while still delivering subtle vocal delays or smooth chorus tones for keyboards. For fans of '80s sounds, it could even potentially be used to add extra depth and dimension to individual drum hits. And for players who like to tweak on the fly, the Catch-Up mode is a real bonus: This prevents big parameter jumps when switching between presets in the middle of a track. One thing to note is that a suitable power supply will need to be ordered separately (e.g. article no. 409939).

Amazing 'Guitar God' tones...and more
Johnny Van Landau 15.01.2024
I originally got this pedal to free up the Micropitch setting on my H9, as the H9 cannot use two presets at the same time. I'm so glad I got this pedal - of course you can get Van Halen 1984 tones through the Hagar era, but there's so much more on offer. It's a very useful delay and chorus as well. In fact the best way to think about this pedal is Pitch + Delay + Modulation (Chorus). You can use all three together, or only 1 or two, your choice. The 5 presets make it great for easy access to the most used presets.

Like all Eventide gear - reading though and understanding the functions is key, though, to be fair, this pedal has been thoughtfully designed for simplicity - this is a pedal to dial in with your ears, with knobs rather than via milliseconds or cents with digital readouts - if you enjoy turning knobs and work through the 'dual' knob functions, you'll really enjoy this.

Even used with clean tones this pedal is winner - get some very slick LA Studio clean tones. And using this pedal lower in the mix just adds some great dimension - it's like a secret sauce for tone hounds.

10 - 15 years ago, the cost of achieving the tone was in the multiple thousands (you would need an Eventide H3000 or maybe two 910/949) - now this pedal brings those sounds to mere mortals so we can enjoy the the tones of the gods and rock hard high on the top of Dream Mountain.

Great detune pedal, delay not so much..
RicardoPro 25.03.2024
This is a great sounding detune with many options, but the delay is disappointing.. and there's only one mix control for both pitch and delay what makes it almost unusable. I only recommend this pedal if you're looking just for a detune pedal.

This is an excellent little pedal. If your looking for FX for a drum machine or a synth. It, like the other pedals in this format are a great choice, for a reasonable price! With a switch on the back of the unit, you can have it run
an electric guitar or line level and mono or stereo operation too. USB is also on the back of the unit for changing setting. Nice unit.... I'll be buying the other pedals to.

Phantastischer Sound, aber nicht das, wonach ich gesucht hatte
Andreas596 22.07.2022
Als Eventide kurz nacheinander das MicroPitch Delay und den Tricera-Chorus herausbrachte, war ich sofort angefixt, weil ich mir schon lange einen Chorus gewünscht hatte, bei dem ich wirklich alle Sound-bestimmenden Parameter selbst kontrollieren kann. Ich liebe die Stereo-Verbreiterung an Chorussen, aber ich hasse das Leiern. Ich wollte mir einen Chorus-Effekt sozusagen selbst zusammenprogrammieren können, der maximal verbreitert, aber nicht diese nervigen vordergründig hörbaren Tonhöhenschwankungen hat. Das Problem: Ich wusste auch nach Recherchen im Netz nicht, welches der beiden Eventide-Geräte das richtige für mich ist, also bestellte ich zunächst das MicroPitch-Delay.
Der wesentliche Unterschied zwischen beiden Geräten ist, dass beim MicroPitch der Pitch-Effekt moduliert werden kann und beim TriceraChorus Delays moduliert werden. Das Delay beim MicroPitch ist wirklich nur ein Delay, das allerdings in der Tonhöhe verschoben werden kann. Man bekommt damit auf zweierlei Weisen Chorus-artige Doubler-Effekte hin, aber die Möglichkeiten der Stereoverbreiterung werden dabei nicht so tief ausgeschöpft wie beim Tricera-Chorus. Die eine Möglichkeit ist die Tonhöhen-Verschiebung der beiden Stimmen an sich ohne Delay. Das erzeugt einen eher subtilen Doubler-Effekt, so ein leichtes Schimmern im Sound. Die zweite Möglichkeit sind die Feedbacks der Delays, die immer weitere Verstimmungen übereinanderlegen, aber eben auch das Signal - je nach eingestellter Delay-Länge - hallartig oder Echo-mäßig verlängern. Das wollte ich aber nicht. Ich wollte einen trockenen gespreizten Sound ohne jeden Nachklang. Abgestoppt sollte sofort Ruhe sein. Für alles andere kann man ja immer noch ein Reverb oder Delay nachschalten.
Beim Tricera-Chorus hingegen gibt es 3 Stimmen, bei denen der eigentliche Chorus-Effekt durch eine Delay-Modulation entsteht, die von Stimme zu Stimme um 120 Grad verschoben ist. Das erzeugt natürlich bereits Tonhöhen-Verschiebungen wie bei einem vorbeifahrenden Martinshorn. Diesem Chorus-Effekt kann dann noch zusätzlich ein Pitch-Effekt hinzugefügt werden, der selbst aber nicht moduliert wird.
Ich denke, der MicroPitch ist eher etwas für Leute, die auch an dem Stereo-Delay-Effekt interessiert sind, der zusätzlich noch verstimmt werden kann.
Der Sound ist ein Traum, aber was wirklich ein Unding ist: Es gibt für beide Geräte keine ausführliche Anleitung. Man muss sich die Video-Tutorials im Netz anschauen.
