9/29/2009 - Matera finds PitchFactor to be a wellspring of musical creativity
Currently on an extensive worldwide tour with Katy Perry, lead guitarist Patrick Matera has added an Eventide PitchFactor Harmonizer® stompbox to his meticulously outfitted pedalboard. Last year, unanimously acclaimed breakthrough artist Katy Perry, released the single “I Kissed a Girl” which spent seven weeks at #1 of the Billboard charts in the US before topping the charts in 20 countries around the globe. The band recently completed its 2009 tour through Scandinavia, Japan, Australia, and the United States.
Matera has also played with Gym Class Heroes, Moby, Kenna, and Kim Richey. On adding the Eventide PitchFactor to his arsenal of guitar effects, Matera stated, "I love this thing! I keep finding new sounds in it and places to use it in the set... it really is an amazing pedal."
