Here is one weird thing: this pedal, at least on principle and following practical thinking, should be identical in sound to the Pitch Fork one, right? Then why I still like the sound of the original better?

I was super excited to get me one of these. Pitch shifting is crucial for my own sound and I do own a number of pedals, from the dirt cheap to the sublime (Eventide, Brainwaves, Drop, Ricochet, several Whammys, original Pitch Fork, Harmony and some rack units) so I have some perspective and units to compare with. When Electro Harmonix announced that they will double the capabilities and add a myriad of features to the original Pitch Fork, a bona fide favorite of mine, my mouth started to water.

And I finally got it! The design of this pedal, how usable it is, how fast and easy is to operate on the fly and how clever is the selection of features at design demonstrate that Electro Harmonix is the master at this game. Expression pedal, auxiliary pedal, twin outs, preset banks, large readable led screen and deep programmability makes this pedal unbeatable if pitch shifting at your feet is what you need. As said, Electro Harmonix has extensive experience in the market, knows their trade and this pedal is demonstrating that fact beyond question.

As said, the amount of features packed here is impressive, without being staggering or superfluous, size factor is reasonable, tracking (even with chords) is state of the art, as a tool it sits between a POG and a regular shifter (hence super creative and inspiring), the range of the shifting is HUGE and everything points at crowning this thing as the definitive shifter pedal. BUT...

For some reason, I like the tone of the original (which I still keep) a bit better, in particular at its most extreme setting. As the range goes up, that "digital" phantom gets noticeable, something that was far better with the original (which to me is the best at that). Even when the sound out of this is still better than most (including some at higher price tags, mind you), is not perfect. And I know that this statement probably makes no sense at all. And I imagine that is just coupling the same digital circuitry with replicated software, with components made by same manufacturer and there are no mysteries or medieval coven here. Pitch Fork one and plus should be one and the same guts. But I can hear a noticeable difference and if I am sharing my findings I should underline this in the name of fairness.

In brief, this is an amazing pedal, super creative and useful, well constructed (exception made by a little shaky selector knob, which we will see how it holds in time), sports most features than any human being could possible need, is easy and logical to operate and does a supreme job as a shifter. For some odd reason though, I am still hearing that is the original Pitch Fork, and not this one, the one destined to be a classic.

Having said all that, you will have a great deal of fun and be massively inspired by this pedal!

Great product

I purchased this as an upgrade and replacement of my pitchfork. The main use I needed this pedal for is octave shifting my violin to give me cello/bass sounds. From all the pitch altering pedals I have used, the pitchfork is the only one which has given a very natural tone when used, with others often making the violin sound much more synthetic.

The pitchfork plus has a wide range of options, many of which I may not ever use, but it is good to have the availability for the future. You can finetune the sound and mix you wish to achieve far better with the pitchfork plus, as opposed to the pitchfork, and this is a feature I have found great use for

Jesses, was ein Teil.
marlotze 28.06.2021
Eigentlich wollte ich das nur mal antesten, jetzt ist es auf dem Board. Dank EXP spare ich mir den Whammy und einen Oktaver. Also einiges an Platzersparnis. Das Teil drückt aber die Lautstärke meines Grundsignals ganz schön nach vorne. Bestimmt lässt sich das irgendwo einstellen, allerdings suche ich noch. Unglaublich viele Funktionen und Töne, gar Synthesizersounds und annrhmbarer Chorus lassen sich entlocken. Tolles Teil.

Bien plus qu’un octaver
Franck632 22.09.2023
Cet avis fait état des capacités de la bête, pour la durabilité/fiabilité je ne peux en parler puisque juste 1 mois avec, en tout cas c’est construit solide, EHX = boîtiers et switchs massifs. Essayée avec strat ssh et basse sur 2x12 et 1x18 en A/B/Y. Comme effet guitare, effet basse, et fake guitare pour basse (sunshine of your Love, immigrant song, royal blood…), seule et avec d’autres effets.

On a donc un micro pog classique sur le mode live, et rien que ça, c’est cool au premier abord. Extensible de 3 octaves de chaque côté sauf erreur, en passant par toutes les nuances, « façon Hog» mais sans les sliders physiques, avec des filtres dynamiques, et des tonnes d’altérations possibles.
On obtient des chorus, du phasing, des sons d’orgues Hammond, … 2 réglages par preset avec un switch pour passer d’un à l’autre comme on stack destack des gains, donc 3 sons (avec le by-pass) par preset. Routage sur 2 outs paramètrables pour chaque preset, l’enregistrement de tous les paramètres et niveau d’un son facile, choisir une bank en tournant un bouton et appuyer dessus pour « prendre une photo ».

Notez que cette pédale fera du bruit dés que vous lui demanderez de faire du gain en montant trop tous les potards, sous forme de perte de naturel, d’artefacts. Ça doit pas être fait pour. Mieux vaut rester proche de la parité avec le dry.

J’ai un peu testé la connexion exp, mais pas encore bidouillé l’assignation de l’exp, dans les presets d’usine c’est le pitch qui a été choisi (et oui pitchfork) , pour mon utilisation varier les filtres (peut-être une wah cachée ?) ou le volume d’un effet est plus séduisant.

Ce que j’apprécie chez EHX d’habitude c’est outre le son et la qualité de construction,le côté « what you see is what you get », du contrôle physique, des potards, des switchs. Là ils ont fait dans les sous menus et les paramètres sur écran, mais bon, c’est pour la bonne cause, faire entrer un cousin du hog2, pog2, de la Whammy et plus dans l’encombrement d’un micro pog, et pouvoir enregistrer et rappeler à volonté tout ça facilement.
Et si on a pas envie de se prendre la tête ? On allume et on a un micro pog.

J’espère arriver à bien la maitriser, ça a l’air riche et utile. Je ferai un édit pour vous donner de ses nouvelles au besoin.
