Polyphonic Pitch Shift Up Bass Pedal Test - Eventide H90, Pitch Fork +, OC-5, HX Stomp - No Talking

- Here is a test of all the pedals that I own that do polyphonic pitch shifting up one octave. All pedals are recorded with no dry signal and one octave up pitch shift setting. I test the speed and pitch tracking with single notes and chords. This test includes the Eventide H90 Percussive & Pitched algorithms, Boss OC-5, pre-lawsuit V1 Mooer Tender Octaver (very similar to the Micro POG), EHX Pitch Fork, EHX Pitch Fork +, and HX Stomp Poly Pitch (settings on x-fast).
IMO the Pitch Fork (regular & plus), Mooer Tender, and the Eventide H90 ("Percussive" setting) sound very similar. The Mooer Tender Octaver has less low end and I feel is less garbled on some of the more complex chords. I don't own an EHX Micro POG, but I assume it is the same since they allegedly sued Mooer for copying it. The clear winner in pitch tracking is the H90 in the "Pitched" setting. It has very natural and beautiful polyphonic pitch shifting. It has a slight lag in this setting, but it is barely noticeable when actually playing it in parallel with a dry bass signal. It almost sounds like it just has a bit of reverb. Unfortunately, the OC-5 and HX Stomp Poly Pitch have a less natural sound than the others, and often sound plain bad. I admit I didn't mess with the HX settings very much, so there may be a more optimal setting. It sounded pretty crappy with any setting, so I just left it on x-fast. The OC-5 is still my favorite octave-down pedal, so it is still worth owning!

He did it. The mad man actually did it.
Thank you for playing the same pattern for all the pedals. That's very helpful.
The Mooer is surprisingly good. Overall liked h90 percussive best for single notes and the other h90 algo for polyshifting and chords.
I agree completely. The Mooer has slightly less low end, but that sounds good to my ear. I think the Pitchforks have a good sound, but the H90 percussive sounds a little better. The H90 has the best sound for chords on the pitch setting.
No pedsl realy compares to the OC-5 🤔 the H90 & HX STOMP quite identical...
Thanks for this video! I use the hx to drop down my bass. Do you think there are other pedals that do this just as well?
Hi, personally I don't like the polyphonic pitch shifting of the HX. I would much rather use the H90 or EHX pedals. I have been using the OC-2 clone in the HX when I need to control it via snapshots. It sounds really close. Not quite as good as the Boss, but good enough if midi control is my priority.
