Eventide PitchFactor

Among Eventide's many achievements is the fact that the US studio pioneers created the very first pitch shifter. Detuning single notes or entire instruments in real time, fattening their sound, adding precisely harmonised intervals – all these dreams became a reality, opening up a whole new world of sounds for musicians and studios. The Eventide PitchFactor covers every facet of this indispensible effect type in a powerful pedal that can generate four fast and yet rock-solid pitch shifts in cents, semitones, or scale-based intervals, plus additional delays of up to 1.5 seconds – all in a compact, stage-ready unit capable of storing every parameter of a user's own presets!

The Eventide PitchFactor's well-equipped control panel and clear display make it easy for musicians to dive right in, tweaking the sound-shaping parameters of the various effect algorithms – and they have even more control using an expression pedal or MIDI. On top of that, the free H9 Control editing suite gives users full access to the algorithms' parameters and presets – for macOS, Windows, and iOS. It's little surprise, then, that the Factor series – originally consisting of the Pitch, Time, and Mod models, as well as the Space reverb, an unofficial cousin thanks to its near-identical chassis – have been hugely popular on stage and in the studio since their launch. One major advantage they all have in common is the fact that their preset storage function allows creative musicians access to a constantly changing array of unique, personalised effects. And with their premium sound quality, versatile features, and the robust build and intuitive interface that life on stage demands, these pedals aren't just a hit with guitarists, but also with keyboard players, EDM live acts, and studio engineers.
