In case you thought Electro-Harmonix pedal performance couldn't get any smaller, meet the Electro-Harmonix Pico Pitch Fork: a polyphonic pitch shift pedal bearing the coveted characteristics as its predecessor at nearly half the size. Despite its compact form factor, the Pico Pitch Fork more than doubles the amount of user control, exercising pitch changes from simple down-tuning utilities to full choral sweeps and everywhere in between. Dual footswitch operation makes sustained effects and momentary tweaks in your tone equally easy to manage, not to mention improved bypass circuitry for even more versatile functionality on and off the stage. The next time drop tuning or multi-voice solos sneak their way into your instrumental itinerary, consider taking the Pico Pitch Fork for a spin. Just hang on tight — it's all ups and downs from here on out!
Taking up no more than 15 square inches of space, this Pitch Fork lives up to its "Pico" namesake. However, this dynamo goes beyond supplying extra space on the pedalboard. Along with standard Blend and Shift knobs from the standard unit, the Pico Pitch Fork adds two more parameters to the mix: Vol and Sweep. VOL is a simple output volume control, while Sweep allows you to set pitch bend sweep times, which makes for exceptionally easy — and interesting — whammy effects. Further experimentation with the Pico Pitch Fork's Up, Down, and Dual modes and 10 pitch shift intervals reveals 30 individual pitch shift options — enough for any turbulent tuning scenario you find yourself in.
Don't let the Pico Pitch Fork's size deceive you: packed deep within its compact hull is a bevy of contemporary EHX upgrades. An impressive built-in Latching and Momentary footswitch makes easy work of both time-sensitive and long-term pitch manipulations. Plus, unlike the original model, the Pico Mini Pitch Fork's selectable bypass topology offers new avenues in effect functionality, making creative possibilities even more interesting. Topped off with a new pair of Vol and Sweep knobs, Music Experience guitarists have enjoyed endless fun putting the Pico Mini Pitch Fork's new abilities to the test.
Offering a total of 30 pitch shift options and expanded controls, the Pico Pitch Fork is the next evolution in pitch shifting from Electro-Harmonix. The original Pitch Fork has garnered praise from all styles of player at every level and the Pico Pitch Fork brings even more features to the celebrated pedal in an impossibly small package. The Pico Pitch Fork features 10 pitch shift intervals and three modes of pitch-shifting – Up, Down and Dual. Dual mode features specially paired pitch shift intervals to allow for more musical effects. Controls on the Pico Pitch Fork are simple and effective. SHIFT selects the Pitch Shift interval. BLEND sets the wet/dry blend of the output mix while VOL adjusts the overall output volume. SWEEP controls pitch bend sweep time when toggling between bypass and effect and back to create automatic whammy effects. The Pico Pitch Fork’s footswitch can operate in two modes: Latching and Momentary. Latching turns the effect on with one footswitch press and off with another while Momentary turns the effect on only when the footswitch is being held for instant bursts of pitch-shifting pandemonium.
Add a rock-solid polyphonic pitch shifter to your pedal board with the electro-harmonix Pico Pitch Fork!
