Caline CP-36 Big Dipper Pitch Shifter

Product Information

Who is this best suited for: Guitarists who want to capture the attention of the audience when playing solos will enjoy the sound created by the Whammy Ricochet. This pedal is sure to propel your guitar to the top of the mix instantly.

It gets powered by a power adaptor (included in the price) or by a 9V battery (which is always a plus). Who is this best suited for: The Beetronics Swarm pedal is a suitable choice for guitarists who are looking to add a unique flavor of the harmonizer effect to their signal chain. If you’re a fan of artificial-sounding fuzz, I think you’ll find this pedal very interesting indeed. Recording the amplifier’s output using a microphone will ensure that your tone is consistent with the sound of your live guitar rig, but it will be more difficult to process the audio retrospectively due to the elements that the amp inevitably adds to the recording. I also must mention that the Pitch-Fork has a TRS input for an expression pedal, so you can do all those dive bombs on the fly using your foot, just like on the classic Whammy by Digitech. One of the key aspects of an organ’s sound is the blend of harmonies and overtones which make up a chord. I found that the Organizer V2 can produce this distinctive tone, and by using the six controls on the face of the pedal, you can adjust the harmonies to suit your requirements.

The three small-sized controls across the top layer of the Pure Octave pedal are responsible for the conventional octave-shifting effect. Moreover, after analyzing the functions of the controls I discovered that you can blend the trio to essentially build your harmonies one layer at a time. Who is this best suited for: The TC Electronic Brainwaves pedal is best suited for guitarists who like to experiment to create their unique tones. With the TonePrint programming and customizable presets, you have plenty of freedom to shape sounds to your liking.

One of the best things about guitar harmonizer pedals is that they are equally as useful for recordings as they are for live performances and rehearsing.

My Review: I’ve long been an admirer of BOSS’ diverse range of guitar pedals. They’ve created an instantly recognizable design blueprint, and all of their pedals are as roadworthy as they come. The Harmonist PS-6 is their flagship harmonizer pedal, and I couldn’t wait to experiment with its many controls and functions.

Firstly, the ‘Key’ control allows you to determine the key of the song that you are playing on your guitar. The pedal is then able to set the duplicated notes to match that key. For example, if you chose A minor pentatonic, the pedal would know to include the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G. If you plan to use your harmonizer pedal as a standard component in your signal chain it’s unlikely that you’ll need multiple inputs or outputs. However, if you want to use the pedal to split your signal you’ll need more than one output to facilitate this. The CP-36 Pitch Shifter is a new pedal from Caline with a boatload of options which allow you to get practically any pitch or octave sound you're after. Great with single notes and chords alike. The wet and dry knobs allow you to blend the original signal vs the new harmonic signal. The detune mode on the selector ranges from -15 to +25 cents and again can be a subtle to "experimental" sounding effect depending on the settings. Takes a 9v power supply. The Mooer Pitch Step was displayed for the first time at the NAMM show three years ago (2018), and it was a game-changer – this little pitch-shifter/pitch-bender was modern and reliable, yet affordable and easy-to-use. It is very compact, and it can be powered either by a 9V power or by a battery, which makes it very pedalboard-friendly. With the Mooer Pitch-step, you can pitch shift up and down an octave. Who is this best suited for: Affordable and very easy to use, the Caline Big Dipper is recommendable to guitarists looking for a reasonably priced harmonizer pedal. It also performs the roles of a pitch shifter and octave shifter pedal, so if you’re considering purchasing either of those, this device may interest you.This pedal surprised me with its many unique features, perhaps the most noteworthy being the ‘S-Bend’. At first, I was unsure of this feature’s purpose, but after messing around with it for some time I found that it offers the possibility of controlling the ascent or descent of the layered harmonies from the original note played on the guitar. My Review: When I first got my hands on the Quintessence pedal, I could tell that this pedal offered a wide range of harmonizer-based options. I was particularly impressed by the detail of each of the four controls, which allowed me to control all aspects of the harmony effect. The Marshmallow pitch-shifter by Alexander Pedals will strike an interest in many guitar players just by taking a glance – it has an exciting graphic design. However, the thing that will make them buy it is, of course, the fact that this pedal is one versatile beast. Who is this best suited for: Like most BOSS pedals, the harmonist PS-6 is the type of device that all guitarists will find useful. However, I’d recommend it specifically to those who want to combine the harmonizer and pitch shifter effects with other pedals in their signal chain, as it blends very nicely with a range of other effects. A good quality PSU allows you to supply all of your pedals with the optimal voltage they require to function properly. The unit is connected to the pedal using power cables, and these can be left in place to save you time when you need to use your pedals.

Although the Behringer FX600 is not only a pitch-shifter pedal, it does have a pitch-shifting effect. Harmonizer pedals work by duplicating the original signal played on a guitar and modulating the pitch to create harmony. This is the same process used by pitch shifter and octave pedals, except harmonizers, tend to move with the notes that are played and respond based on the keys and intervals the guitarist has established.Who is this best suited for: Behringer pedals are suitable for guitarists who perhaps don’t want to spend a lot of money on individual effects, but still require access to high-quality tone-shaping options. Who is this best suited for: The Data Corrupter is a great choice for guitarists who incorporate electronic music elements into their songs. It has the potential to transform your guitar’s signal into a blend of synth tones and modulation effects, whilst adding complex harmonies to the output. I learned that the H9 is much more than a standard harmonizer device. With over 50 unique algorithms, including PitchFactor, TimeFactor, Space, and ModFactor, this pedal is capable of producing everything from ear-friendly harmonies to long-tailed reverbs and delays.
