Eventide ModFactor
Eventide · pedal
The Eventide ModFactor is a modulation multi-effects stompbox drawing on algorithms from Eventide rack processors, offering Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Rotary, Tremolo, Vibrato, the studio Undulator effect, and a RingMod that blends ring modulation with synthesis. LFO rates sync to tap tempo or MIDI clock, and a dedicated Slow/Fast footswitch ramps modulation speed in real time for swell and dive effects. Reviewers describe its sound as analog-like and expensive-sounding for its price point, carrying a distinctive character other modulation pedals struggle to replicate. Its vibrato is especially praised for warmth and pitch-accurate vintage character, while its chorus stays clean and rich without flanger bleed-through. It suits studio and live modulation duties across rock, ambient, and experimental genres, and pairs with the companion TimeFactor and PitchFactor in the same pedal series.
What stands out
“Its primary use case is as an all-in-one modulation workstation for players who want studio-grade chorus, flanger, phaser, rotary, and more experimental ring-mod and Undulator textures”
— from the community notes
“The most praised strength is the vibrato and Undulator distinctive, organ-like character that is hard to find elsewhere”
