Octave shifter 2 free#
But allowing the effect to become a part of the sound and adjusting ones feel and touch to it usually sounds more organic and real.Īs for harmonizer/pitch shifting, the Whammy V is my pick as it is more free having no set key or scale lock. The ending refrain of that song where he is caught up in the phaser sweep is just great. As an example of this playing with the tone, listen to Jimmy Page rip on the Rover using a phase shifter as a central part of the tone. Part of the mastery of effects is playing with the new tone not against it.Īs an example, you have players who simply ignore like a phasing effect and play as if it were not there, or an after treatment and there is the issue of playing with and using the effect as a part of the feel and touch. Changes feel and tracking, timing, sure, doesn't anything?

I have used +/-5ths for ages in cleans and dirt and I find it sounds pretty damn good. I would think being a bass that a higher 5th would sound really good as it is more to the range of guitar which is the most pleasing range to the human ear. Lower often sounds better because it is more in a pleasing range for the ear. Bass tracking is more prone to glitch from the overtones of the thick strings.Īs for sounding odd at higher registers that is just the real product of higher notes they do get rather tinny and thin. Pending on how it does w bass cannot say. Personally I always used the Whammy for its harmonizer modes not the typical weeeeeeoooooo thing. The advantage of the Whammy harmonizer modes is not having to have a set key or scale to limit ones playing. The newer pedals which are capable of detuning a guitar have great tracking and that is where the new Whammy V gets its circuit.

Not sure how well it does on the lower freq of bass but it does very well on guitar. The new Whammy is polyphonic which is limit tech in regard to a std guitar/bass signal. not understanding the meaning of monophonic or polyphonic? When I hear of players playing chords in such units thinking the tracking glitch out is a charming artifact of the unit like so many have done oh the older Whammys, is just well. Most pitch shifting tech is monophonic tracking at best, without resorting to a hex pickup a synth uses, options are limited. Sorry about that, sometimes those late nights. I misread the opening post previously thinking it said phase shifter.
