Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork Plus
Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork Plus is an expanded polyphonic pitch shifting pedal that transposes your signal across a wide range, up or down by up to three octaves, with detune and harmony capabilities. Building on the Pitch Fork, the Plus adds dual independent pitch voices that can be blended for two note harmonies, octaves and chords, plus presets, expression control and a momentary mode for pitch bending and dive effects. From subtle detune and octave doubling to lush harmonies and dramatic pitch dives, it tracks polyphonically and cleanly. It suits players in rock, metal, ambient and experimental styles who want versatile, harmonized and octave shifted textures and expressive real time pitch control.
