Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork Polyphonic Pitch Shifter - 3 Octave Range | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork delivers polyphonic pitch shifting across a massive +/- three octave range with crystal-clear tracking and zero latency. This versatile pitch shifter features three distinct modes for transposing up, down, or both simultaneously, making it essential for creative guitarists and bassists exploring alternate tunings, harmonies, and sonic textures. Perfect for players seeking studio-quality pitch effects in a compact, stage-ready pedal.
Product Overview
The Pitch Fork's advanced digital circuit provides exceptional polyphonic tracking that maintains note clarity even with complex chords and fast passages. Unlike monophonic pitch shifters that struggle with multiple notes, this pedal handles full chords, bass lines, and intricate fingerpicking with remarkable accuracy and musical results.
The intuitive 11-position shift selector offers precise interval control from subtle 17-cent detune effects to dramatic three-octave transpositions. The three-way toggle switch provides up, down, or dual mode operation, with dual mode creating sophisticated harmonies like major thirds with perfect fifths or octave doubling combinations.
Expression pedal compatibility transforms the Pitch Fork into a dynamic performance tool. In latch mode, you can continuously vary pitch for smooth glissando effects, while momentary mode enables rapid pitch bends with adjustable glissando rates from 4 milliseconds to two seconds for everything from subtle vibrato to dramatic swoops.
Ideal For
- Guitarists exploring alternate tunings without retuning instruments mid-performance
- Bass players creating sub-octave effects and harmonic doubling for enhanced low-end presence
- Studio musicians needing precise pitch correction and creative harmony generation
- Progressive and experimental players incorporating pitch bending and glissando techniques
- Cover bands requiring quick access to songs in different keys without multiple instruments
