MicroPitch Delay Pedal Review

Absolutely Amazing

I have been looking for a detuning type effect for some time without having to resort to building a rack system like I had in the 90s;way too expensive and time-consuming to get everything programmed and dialed in. I have been looking at other pedals that offer this type of effect, but there was always something lacking. The MicroPitch Delay by Eventide is an absolute beast. I know… read more I could have bought a H9, I honestly couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a pedal that I would only use for MAYBE a couple of effects. The MicroPitch Delay is an incredibly multifaceted pedal that offers dual pitch-shifting as well as dual delays for an almost endless variety of time-based effects. Throw in the abilities to run in mono or stereo and the deep editing via the USB cable, it was a no-brainer for me! In fact, I bought it just to get that EVH type tone from 1984 onward or to approximate Zakk Wylde's ferocious onslaught. It would have been worth the money just to get those. Instead, I got a lot more! Well worth the money!

W/D/W Rig Came to Life

I recently purchased the Eventide Micropitch from Sweetwater. I tested it out in mono and stereo and it sounded great scrolling through the presets. I watched the user video and learned about the multifunction knobs and tweakability of the multi delay/detune features. My goal was to place this effect in stereo wet after the OT of my dry amplifier. I sent the post amp line out to… read more a splitter that fed both sides of the micropitch pedal and then to a stereo delay, out to the left and right cabinets. This is where the presets sound real and killdry works best for live sound. You can adjust the wet because this pedal puts you underwater, especially in presets three and five. My favorite is still the classic widening/detune feature. I use this with multiple delays that cascade the tails of the multivoice and you get THAT huge guitar sound. Cheers to Eventide for making this effect available and Sweetwater for the sale.

Holy $*%*!!!! I've Been Waiting For This One!

I was hoping Eventide would put out an analog chorus similar in setup to the Eventide Rose and/or Blackhole (both of which I own). The Micropitch isn't that, but man oh man, it's the chorus I've been waiting for... and a dual detune, and dual delay. It's packed full of features and each is subtle to extreme. You can do a simple mono delay with or without pitch/modulation, or… read more full on dual delay. I'm having more fun with the simple presets I can create (mono delay, chorus, detune) than all the crazy whacky sounds this guy can do as well. Well worth the investment. Sounds almost as good as the Rose for just straight up delay, but with a slightly different character. I'm loving this thing after only having it for about 8 hours... so good.
