Thank you for a fab demo video - love those tones and the playing. This is definitely on my shopping list!

Yes! I saw the thumbnail and smashed the click button fast. You had me at micro pitch. Very cool sounds you got out of there and love the classic Zakk Wylie riffs you threw in. Will definitely have to research this pedal some more. Thanks for posting!

I don't have all those presets on my H9 Max stuff, but that bottomless drop is there, sick LOL. I finally got a second H9 so Max x 2, plus a Timefactor. All looped through an Eleven Rack controlled by a FCB1010 with EurekaProm 3.2. Really starting to actually enjoy mucking around on an electric guitar again for the first time in decades. iPad at ready for all 3 Eventide Pedals, just need to hook the Eleven rack up to cheapie laptop for control next.

[@TheGgreen100]

I use these pitch effects in my Axe-Fx. I've been waiting for this effect in pedal format for years. Chorus without oscillation. It's even effective in Mono. It makes your guitar almost sound double tracked. Can't wait to add one of these to the board of my non-modeling rig.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah it's been a long time coming IMO. Time to make a "rack pedalboard" style setup.

[@MrShane5150]

Late to the party but my question was if you’re not running a stereo rig will this still be effective.

[@TheGgreen100]

@@MrShane5150 Yes, you can still hear it in mono and it still sounds cool, but as you might expect, it's not nearly as cool as it is in stereo. But yep you can still get a kind of washy biggness out of it even in mono.

Awesome Video Thank You

[@LeonTodd]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@beargonefission6160]

Interesting that they added the envelope modulation. Otherwise, I’m still quite happy with the used PitchFactor I got for much less than a new MicroPitch that does that algorithm and much more. A nice thing about the single algorithm releases is that the new videos give a person ideas of how to get more out of stuff they already had. I have not taken this algorithm seriously enough as a dual delay. Deep algorithm I have in a very deep pedal.

[@LeonTodd]

yeah i've gone backed and tweaked my H9 detune presets based off this thing

[@TheJleerocker]

Very Nice Pedal , and a good demo from you as well . As of now my budget is rehearsing (simulaneously) with 3 amplifiers at our studio( two EVH 50 watt / one JC 120) and a few high end effect pedals for each , One which includes my recently purchased MICROPITCH. My stage rig (for now) Is a EVH 50 wt combo / with a one 12inch seperate cab for a dual mono effect sorta.We are no-where big time local band in our small town , but we ARE THE ONLY band that plays all original music. One day I hope to understand the MIDI WAY, and go that route. Till then this will have to do.I enjoy all your vids on the many differnt pedals/racks/amps ect. on the market. Your video inspired me to buy this pedal .Thank you.

Great video and as always, Awesome tone and very Tasty playing!! I have this pedal and I’m running it with a reverb into the loop of my Runt 20. Unfortunately, I’m not using it to it’s potential, staying with one preset and actually find it a little confusing. This video is inspiring me to hook it up to my laptop and start tweaking. On the flip side, with the one preset , I’ve been told my clean tone was incredible. Can you save those presets to 1-5 easily? Thx 😎

[@dkelley9661]

Great demo! I like to PLAY my effects, when applicable. This thing does that amply, though I’m still getting used to it. I like to run stereo amps for spread, imaging, which this unit excels at. It’s like an instant acid trip, the lush modulated echos are near limitless in potential. With a warm, chimey clean sound, it becomes a profoundly immersive sound tool. Yet with a distorted, detailed sound, one can thicken, flange, chorus, Leslie, add depth, detail, color. I look forward to adding the tools to fully utilize this device. Because of its flexibility, it could add tremendous functionality to a home studio setting. Perhaps some of the other similar Eventide models would be worth a good demo. Cheers!

[@LeonTodd]

Check out my H90 and H3000 vids :)

[@ChrisToft]

Is it possible to have a high mix of micro pitch with proper delays that aren’t super loud? It seems you can have one but not both? Am I missing something? Trying to get a Van Hagar Balance kinda sound out of it.

[@MaxPaws]

Why are there two Preset lights on? I thought it was one light for each of the 5 presets? Can’t find any explanation in their manual.

[@brettrossi89]

Sounds like a still chorus. Nice pedal for 80’s rock

[@peterzlateff-fh7yt]

I’m getting one of these but mindful to go easy on the settings so I don’t sound like a synth. Subtle detune and delay will get me the wider sound I want. Next maybe the Boss SDE3000EVH. Thanks for the demo

I had to watch this again.. I'm going to buy one. I want it for the distortion Steve Vai crossroads tone! I love the other stuff though.. I don't remember how many presets you're allowed to have. I think it's 4, but I"ll use at least one for something wild.. I love the presets they have, and I usually don't find presets on a pedal very good without tweaking and this one has some great one's out of the box I see.. I'm playing right now thru the 50 watt Katana and a boss Me 70 and I can use this in the loop.. Does the FM3 do this just as good in tone may I ask sir? I would bet it' can't possibly do this can it? Thanks brother.. Very cool.. Tim

[@BitsOfEternity]

Have you had a chance to compare your H9's version? I'm curious...

[@flatusgamora1661]

Any word on how it sounds mono? I know it was designed for stereo (as all of eventide's products) but most people will more than likely be not be using a double amp setup

[@TheJleerocker]

Good /great gear can be expensive. If the $ is limited , you may opt for a speaker cab extension if applicable. This dual mono set up can improve sound quality without breaking the bank.

[@geradoclarke33]

What gets closer to an 8 voice chorus? This pedal or the tricerachorus ?

[@Danthehorse]

Can it do the landau/Huff Bob Bradshaw rack session kind of detune?

[@harleyhexxe9806]

That's a good pedal. Eventide has done a lot to keep up with the quality of their signal processing, even through the transition from rack to pedal platforms. There is one thing in particular I was listening for in this demo, but I don't believe I heard it. There isn't much in the way of Reverb in this pedal is there? For a pedal board build, I would definitely consider a pedal like this one. As always Leon, Great video and stellar playing! Thank you!

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks my man! Yeah this with a Strymon DiG for the SDE style delays and a BOSS DC-2w would cop a lot of those classic 80s cleans.

[@JRP3music]

It is in the Eventide Pitch factor and H9 and the previous rack versions. I do like the simplicity of the dedicated pedal version.

[@LeonTodd]

yeah it's arguably THE Eventide effect. Having it as a dedicated pedal makes so much sense.

[@dukey558]

Great demo video as usual and awesome tunes coming out of this little box.. I'm wonder this pedal's function is being overlapped with my H9's pitch algorithms and/or Eclipse's relevant presets therein?

[@LeonTodd]

If you've got an Eclipse you've got the ultimate Eventide unit! (H series owners, fight me)

[@sswanny1]

Can the H9 do the same stuff?

[@lukather1]

How does it compare to the plug-in version ?

[@simply3141592654]

+/- 9 panned hard right and left with 10ms staggered delays and dry down the middle with a 5150, Soldano or Marshall will get you near Van Hagar era EVH. Can get similar with Boss PS 6 and Keeley Halo

I've got a rundown and tutorial on my live FM3 preset up on here

[@yaminub]

Leon, how would you compare this (and I guess the other) eventide pitch sounds with the pitch block in the AxIII, if that's something you can talk about. To me, it's not that the Ax can't do it, I just feel like it's missing something, and I think in not programming that right, but I never had trouble getting good sounds with the eventide stuff. I've owned both just not at the same time, sold my Pitchfactor before buying my AxIII. Thanks

[@LeonTodd]

I find that adding some modulation in the Axe really helps make it sound a bit more like this.

[@yaminub]

@@LeonTodd thank you, I'll experiment with that later. I've usually stayed away from modulating it so maybe that's my problem.

[@williamratcliffe7833]

Can I use this as a standard pitch shifter? For example, if I wanted to go from E to F with only the wet signal on?....Or, simulating a capo, in simpler terms.

[@LeonTodd]

No, most it will do is 50cents either way

[@57precision]

I'm wondering if I can use this pedal to emulate Mick Karn's fretless bass tone with Japan and Gary Numan in the 80s. Mick used to record two identical tracks and then hard pan them. It caused both stereo widening and a subtle chorus effect because no two performances on fretless are exactly the same pitch or time no matter how good you are. It would be awesome to be able to do this live.

[@nightfire540]

Will it do the pitch shift like no more tears/Van Halen stuff going strait in front of an amp or does it have to be stereo?

[@LeonTodd]

Stereo

[@gilamadre]

For the Luke 80s tone would this or the Tricerochorus be better? Or is it best to have both?

[@LeonTodd]

If you just want the drive effect, tricerachorus gives you that plus an awesome chorus. If you want detune and a great dual delay, get this

[@adamkendra7182]

Hi Leon. Thanks for the vids. Quick question. Recently picked up an yngwie strat that came with 7’s on it. Was curious how heavy you go on strings for yours? I’m used to heavier strings but this is my first scalloped neck and not sure how heavy I should go. Thanks.

[@giraffewaggoner8119]

Ygm plays 8s...i play nines, they make 7s but they are very different metals to be able to be effective for 15 or 20 minutes of hard use. 9s seem to be bendable and hold up for a week or more, just my observation. 9s work better when you drag your strat across the top of a monitor, if you are trying to do the yng whey thing...lol. Those 7s will tend to detune just from finger weight on the scalloped neck, try playing a note with the old tuner hooked up and you can damn near bend an octave just by finger pressure alone.

[@LeonTodd]

10-52's on mine
