1/15/2009 - PitchFactor Harmonizer pitch and delay stompbox has ten signature pitch and delay effects
In a highly anticipated introduction that brings the soundscapes and creative versatility of Eventide’s legendary Harmonizer to guitar pedal users of all genres, Eventide today unveiled the newest addition to its line of effects pedals: the PitchFactor Harmonizer® stompbox.
The versatile PitchFactor showcases Eventide’s 10 trademark Harmonizer pitch and delay effects as well as 1.5 seconds of stereo delay and simultaneous pitchshifting effects, which results in the most flexible stompbox in its class. PitchFactor, similar to its predecessors TimeFactor and ModFactor, features 40 stunning presets, USB for upgradeability, instant program change, true bypass, tap tempo, three footswitches for immediate preset access, MIDI, and the lush, uncompromised Eventide sound known around the world. Useable in mono or stereo, with line or instrument inputs and outputs, PitchFactor is adaptable to a wide variety of guitar or bass rigs, studio and live sound applications.
The effects featured in PitchFactor include: Micropitch, Diatonic Shifter, Quadravox™, Harmodulator™, Chromatic, Dual H910/H949, PitchFlex™, Octaver™, Crystals™, Harpeggiator™ and Synthonizer™. Eventide has finessed these legendary effects into full-featured, indestructible, cast metal performance machines that are small enough to fit on your pedal board or in your gig bag.
“Many groundbreaking guitarists have used Eventide effects to enhance their sound over the last 38 years, including Jimmy Page, Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Peter Frampton, Robert Fripp, and John Petrucci to name a few,” commented Ray Maxwell, Eventide vice president of sales and marketing. “We look forward to building upon our close and successful relationships in the music community and we are proud to announce the release of PitchFactor at NAMM 2009.”
Eventide PitchFactor is available in March 2009 through premier guitar retailers worldwide and will retail at $579.
