The Donner Harmonic Square is an octave and pitch shifter pedal from the Chinese budget effects manufacturer Donner, delivering octave-up, octave-down, and pitch shifting effects for guitar. Provides classic sub-octave and upper octave effects along with pitch shifting capability at an accessible Donner budget price. Controls adjust the blend of octave and dry signal with pitch shift interval.
The Electro-Harmonix Pico Pitch Fork is a downsized version of the Pitch Fork polyphonic pitch shifter, offering 30 pitch shift options with expanded controls in a tiny enclosure. A Mode button selects Pitch Up, Pitch Down and Dual modes, while Volume and Blend knobs allow precise multi voice mixing of the shifted and dry signals. It can transpose across a wide range, add harmonies, octaves and detune, and track polyphonically and cleanly. From subtle detune and octave doubling to dramatic pitch shifts and dual voice harmonies, it is versatile. It suits rock, metal, ambient and experimental players who want flexible, clean polyphonic pitch shifting and harmony in a space saving pedal.
