Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork Polyphonic Pitch Shifter Pedal (Demo by Bill Ruppert)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- The Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork polyphonic pitch shifter pedal transposes an instrument’s pitch over a +/- three octave range and features three modes which allow the pitch to be transposed up, down or both, simultaneously. The pitch shift amount can be set to a fixed interval or continuously varied by an expression pedal or control voltage.
The controls are straightforward and intuitive. An 11-position Shift switch selects the maximum transposition interval ranging from D (Detune), a shift of 17 cents, through Minor 2nd, Major 2nd, Major 3rd, Perfect 4th, Perfect 5th, Major 6th, Minor 7th, 1 Octave, 2 Octaves and 3 Octaves. A three position toggle switch controls whether the pitch is transposed up, down or both. In Dual mode, two pitch-shifted signals are output. One follows the shift knob as if in the Up position while the other creates a harmony. Dual Mode settings include M3 up + P5 up, P5 up + 1 Oct down, 1 Oct up + 1 Oct down and many others. A Blend knob controls the mix of the dry signal and the effected signal, and an EXP jack enables the player to control pitch and glissando with an expression pedal.
The Latch button selects Latch or Momentary mode which affects how the footswitch and EXP input behave. In Latch mode, the footswitch toggles between effect on and buffered bypass each time it’s pressed and the EXP input continuously varies pitch. In Momentary mode the effect is only on while the footswitch is depressed and when it is released the Pitch Fork goes into bypass.
In Latch mode the EXP input controls pitch shift amount, ranging from unity to the interval set by the Shift knob, and pitch varies continuously throughout the expression pedal’s range. In Momentary mode the EXP input controls glissando rate for the Pitch Fork’s footswitch. When the bypass footswitch is pressed, the Pitch Fork jumps from bypass to the interval set by the Shift knob. The amount of time it takes to reach that new note is the glissando rate. When the footswitch is released the pitch will return to unity at the same rate. That glissando time can vary between 4 milliseconds to two seconds depending on the heel/toe position of the expression pedal. The default glissando rate is 60 milliseconds when nothing is plugged into the EXP input.
The Pitch Fork comes equipped with an EHX 9.6DC-200mA power supply and also runs on a 9Volt battery.
Quick specs:
- Transposes over a +/- three octave range
- Three shift modes: up, down or dual
- 11-position Shift knob selects the transposition interval
- EXP input lets you control pitch shift or glissando via optional expression pedal
- Latch and Momentary modes affect how the footswitch and EXP input behave
- Power adapter included

EHX is really inovative. Instead of just creating another overdrive that try to imitate 1960's tube amps they create future-guitar sounds.
Mike Matthews / EHX is a pioneer. He is one of the small-handful who started all this Pedal Madness. Guy is a Legend.
Plus, they also have 1,000,000 overdrive pedals. The best of both worlds lol.
Pitch fork is actually a future-guitar sound by itself.
I use mine right in front of my Tumnus overdrive 😂🤣
I just came back to say that this has become the most important pedal in my board. It helped me create the arrangements I had in my head and was never able to get them out, until I got this. Thank you EHX!
Thank you!
@@EHX what is the mA for the pitch fork and the rams head big muff reissue. Is it 100mA or more
I wanna ask you is there a way you can only hear the octave up instead of hearing both octaves like a normal octaver? Like for instance i wanna be able to play a high note on the e string that would be fret 30 can you set it to only hear the high notes instead of both the original and the high?
@@micoveliki8729 What are you playing that has 30 frets??? Electric guitars generally max out at 24.
@@micoveliki8729 I know this is way after you asked, and you may have already got an answer to your question. By turning the blend knob, you can most likely go "full wet" with the effect, so that all you hear is the affected signal.
5:29-6:20. Most innovative use of a pedal I've heard in a long time. So f*ing sold.
yeah that section was really nice
If you guys could just go ahead and ship me one of everything, that'd be great.
ship me, too! PLEASE......
Ha - that's no lie. Goodness!
Absolutely
4:30 great to modulate
v8dreaming exactly
EHX will not be satisfied until they have all my money.
i cry evry tiem
OMG you still have money??
Well, EHX have great products at reasonable prices. I can't ever see paying $300 for a compressor pedal. $300 can get you 3 great EHX pedals and still have money left over for lunch.
***** mmm, lunch.
Kelly Jackson LOL, Kelly...best response.
Bill's fingerings are amazing. EHX does it again: another box we all have to have!
Ive never seen such a convincing demo, hats off! Also +1 for Audioslave at the end
This is a ridiculously useful pedal. I play in a 2-man band doing lots of heavier stuff, often in conjunction with a looper. With the Pitchfork I can get a bass sound, loop it, then play over top. Also we do lots of tuned down (e.g. C# for QOTSA) and it's perfect for that. I also like the faux 12-string thing. I'm glad the sales guy talked me out of the POG.
Favorite pedal i own. It has so many practical applications
Why the fuck is nobody talking about 1:48 that's the most godly thing on this earth
It sounds like something off of King Crimson's Power to Believe album.
Hank Horsecore SOMEBODY MAKE A FULL SONG OFF OF THAT SICK ASS RIFF
man I just bought this pedal for that part alone, was completely sold after that. can't wait to put some fuzz on it.
yungsavagesleeper Hell yeah man.
Hank Horsecore because most guitarsists know shit about major 6ths. This is why I'm such a huge advocate of RELIGIOUSLY learning major scale harmony, so you can use all those cool ass extensions that nobody bothers with.
This is amazingly good pitch shift. Easily the best I have ever heard in a stomp box.
One of the best sounding pitch shifters I've heard!
Had my eye on a Whammy for many years. Recently been drooling over the Meris Hedra. But once I saw this demo, I realized this is the pedal with the sound and capabilities I’ve been craving all along. Just ordered one, can’t wait! 🤘
your implementation of that surprisingly useful device has caused me to dip into my mad money. I'm already slobbering with anticipation. love those chords towards the end,and the tasteful use of what sounds like one of EH's classic big triangle-ly phasor/ flanger thingy. nice
+douglas williams Great! Have fun.
STOP. SHOWING. ME. SO. MANY. AWESOME. PEDALS. I just bought the C9 and the Lester G. Now I have to get the pulsar as well. AND NOW the damn pitch fork too. I'M RUNNING OUT OF MONEY. I expect an endorsement deal if I ever go anywhere. I'm just sayin...
Welcome to the GAS, Matt... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (distorted evil overdrive laugh delayed with tremolo)
@@Sancho_Retablez don't forget the octave down using the pitch fork 😂
Awesome demo as always Bill. Everytime I watch one of your demos I always get inspired... and always want the pedal!
I have watched this like ten times non-stop. I need this.
the solo from like a stone, well done.
I remember in the 70's when EH had a store on 48th st.in NYC.The room or store was dark and it had a small stepup stage like a rehearsal studio,and some guy came out and would demo all the pedals EH had out at that time.I also remember seeing a Mesa combo,with a honey comb grill,maybe a MKIIC+ dont really know but it was loud as fuck.I remember becoming obsessed with the Deluxe Memory Man.So glad EH is still alive today!!!!Those are some great memories I have as a kid learning to play guitar..
cast390 Great Memory! We called that the Hall of Science and Larry DeMarco was the main guitar demo guy and manager of the operation.
cast390 I've been there many times. I miss the old 48th street guitar row. It sure has changed. Electro Harmonics also had a 1-800 number you could call and hear the different effects over the phone. Thinking late 70's early 80s.
ZenDriveSeven That's actually pretty cool! No RUclips back then ;p
So many years struggling with a Boss Octaver...this is a must have. Nice demonstration! Thanks B-)
This is just beautiful. Supreme playing. Excellent pedal. It's on my wish list! 😍
Fusion of a POG and a Sweep Octave Pedal and Detuner.... God... This guys are cool!
This pedal is amazing, I was stubbornly wanting the nano pog, and ignoring the features and quality of this piece of awesomeness. This pedal will be on my board promptly indeed.
Thanks for an excellent demo! Love the pitch shifter. So many uses.
You are a fantastic guitar player!! Love this pedal!
Cindi Leaving Scarlet Thank you!
..but i need money for food! :(((((
Aw. food is overrated!
have you tried the EHX soul food?
@@lukasifflaender8950 I laughed harder than I should have at that.
Ramen and rice friend! Lol
It simply HAS to be said....EHX you totally ROCK!! Thank you for making this wonderful world of guitar so much fun, and so acceessible..even to us always strapped working players!! Love this pedal, as with all your gear it really kicks :-)
Gary Taylor Thank you Gary!
Hey you so deserve credit guys...and thanks for the acknowledgement too, that means a lot :))
Awsome pedal!!..🤘🤘 I love the ending with the sound garden tone!!.. like the sun we will live to rize again!..🎸🎸🎸
Bill, that was great. I've had mine for about a year and love it. VERY versatile and dynamic. An amazing range of sounds and tones depending on mix, guitar pickup / volume & tone, pedal order and other pedal interplay. As demonstrated @ the 1:45 mark, when using it as a harmonizer, you must understand a bit of theory to be musical. Would love to see more Rupert videos - always unique and inspiring.
I love the setting used @ 1:48. Sounds massive!
Probably the most useful pedal of all time! I really gotta get me one
This has to be one of the best Pitch Bending pedals I have ever listened to.
Sweet pedal and demo. Bill Ruppert is a true master!
Wow! This sounds far more natural than the POG2 or the Octron or anything else I've tried to get great tones. I think this will totally do it for simulating bass. I want this!
Okay, this sounds pretty good.
This might be the Coolest Demo Video Ever Made. The pedal is amazing and the guitar player nails it!
This is a really cool pedal. I might have to buy one now after this demo. never heard of it before this. it's awesome.
Awesome demo, thank you. You've shown exactly what the pedal can do technically and hinted at the artistic possibilities. Perfect showcase!
I was 90% sure I wanted this but recently had a play with a friends Micro POG and it presented a dilemma.
The whammy effect is the clincher.
I can see me getting Muse type guitar histrionics with my Big Muff/Metal Muff and plenty of Royal Blood style shenanigans with my bass and Muffs.
I'll get an expression pedal and an ABY splitter to complete the setup.
I'm here because I saw one of these on Billy Gibbons' pedal board. And he knows a thing or two....
Sick demo. Maybe one of the best i've seen in about 15years.
Big, big fan of a Bill Ruppert demo .
6:28 that's some Natural Science shit right there.
For sure, i thought the detune setting TOTALLY sound like Alex Lifeson chorus
This is a perfect pedal for a guitarist that doesn't a have bass but needs to track bass tracks
AKA me
so I can make my guitar sound like a bass using this? cause that's what I'm looking for
Yes
get an E Harmoix Pitch fork
Perfectly laid down bass tracks with this. My home studio is now bass player drool free!
Lol I'm doing it the other way around
I like how you included the first part of the "Like A Stone" solo.
you've brought so much polyphonic awesomness to a tiny pedal! :O
All this for $131...Mike-You're a genius!! (Great demo with superb chops and out of this world chordal flourishes)
So is this like a big slap in the face to DigiTech's Drop pedal? Lol. I love the sounds you can get.
Nice! Much more versatile than I anticipated.
This pedal sounds amazing!
I got this pedal, its probably a little advanced for my current ability. I'm beginner level but its fun messing around with it. Need to get an expression pedal.
This works on bass to! Produces some exciting sounds! Please give us a review. I already have one but not sure I can manage a review!
Awsome demo! This is what I was looking for thx!!
That detune setting sounds amazing
I hope Bill Ruppert gets paid well for his demos and promotion !? Great job Bill you hit it out of the ballpark every time :)
EHX This is the most important and awesome thing invented ever after the sliced bread!
Lol
great sounding pedal.. looks really good too! ..props to the guitarist as well!
Loving this.. Specially those clean tones..
I use this pedal for harmonica. Mixed with my other pedals (Lone Wolf Blues Octave, Harp break, Reverb and the Soul Food) it gives the sound a little more depth. Set at the number 2 with the blend at 9 o'clock and the dual set to both
Glad to see this post. I was actually thinking of getting this pedal for that exact reason. I do a two-man blues punk thing with guitar and harmonica. I was wanting to get this so I could make my harmonica sound bigger during the other guy's guitar breaks and when I'm rhythm chugging.
Very DEVO-like....I Love it!!!!!
We Are Devo!
heard this video and ordered one on the spot! EHX just keeps on pumping out awesome stuff year after year! Props to the mad scientists at EHX.
Great Demo. You have given me some food for thought
Just when you think "well, this is it, I no longer feel like I need another pedal in my board..." EHX HAPPENS. EHX you are my Big Muff company: I love you guys, but sometimes I hate you... And sometimes I hate you for being so awesome.
finally an ehx pitch pedal, .great presets!. I seem to hear the same sound / tracking of the "ring thing" pitch mode.. there is less latency compared to the "ring thing"? the "ring thing" has latency from - 1 oct and lower (at 100% wet) when playing fast riffs
I buy this pedal yesterday and i love it so much!
Amazing pedal guys i love that Harmony blending gives me Eric Johnson vibes i need to have this one !
Take my money. I think you guys might have the nicest sounding pitch algorithm on the market.
longfallboots! i recognized your name from old devi ever vids
I bought one some years ago and now it’s forever in my board. I can use just one guitar all gig, standard tuning, and we play Drop C, D songs (System Of a Down and even Slipknot). And I can also play Like a Stone just with a cheap Roland exp. EHX is the best (and I also have a Canyon in my board)!
That player is amazing ! Nice sounds !
I already have a PitchFork. I just love watching Bill mess around with one.
I think 2:35 is the most beautiful thing ive ever heard in my life
Really liked it also, was the selling point for me.
Totally agree. Just bought one. Hope i can re-create sound.
agree. im really tired to hear blues
yeah it's like an organ.
eoswiha123456789 and 1:47
When I heard him replicate "Like A Stone" perfectly I was like ok fine....here's my money.
Same! I saw this video today and bought one today as well as the expression pedal
Excellent demo. Great player. I'm sold.
OMG I love this. After 7 years of use my digitech whammy stopped working and I thought about getting a new version but not after seeing this. I now want the pitchfork. Its smaller and less expensive and has more options. Also I think it sounds cooler.
this is stupidly awesome..... at this rate my pedal board will entirely consist of your pedals! already have a holy grail plus, memory toy, freeze and a soul food....
whatever happened at 5:30 was tight
Damn, this demo is on point! Killer playing.
+Bruce Morrison Thanks!
I'm diggin' the Morello solo. Very nice!
Can we talk about that absolutely INSANE chord at 5:45
All the chords during the harmony section were *chef’s kiss
audioslave lives!!! LIKE A STONE SOLO!! 7:19
Does just about everything a Whammy can do and a heap more and a tiny foot print.. I'm in love.
Great demo !! I just got one of these mainly so I don't need to tune my guitar way down & have to use heavier strings than I want to but as u demo'd there are many cool uses for it.
Wow!
Really tasty riff from minute 3:30-4:00 Does anyone knows something about it?
Gotta give it to Electro Harmonix for making very unique pedals that I don't think anyone is doing.
Now I want one.
I feel the need of this pedal!!!
Beginner here; I’ve been playing for about a year so I don’t have too much experience with pedals (I for now only have a boss distortion). To my understanding this pedal can drop or “rise” your tuning, this would be perfect for on stage not having to either tune up/down your guitar and/or swap out guitars? Great demo by the way!
I would say it's the next best thing. It is basically tracking the signal so it's not 100% an exact replica of what downtuning, but it's extremely close. It opens up tons of options. Add a bass line to a loop, add an octave up to a lead guitar, etc. I have one and it's extremely useful and aids in creativity.
Can we use this with a bass guitar ? I want to drop my bass 1 octave. I think it would sound crazy.
And mine as well
Oh God! I need one of these, the format of this being a very good price!
Outstanding Bill!
How does it sound with a bass?
It would be great if you included at least a few seconds of bass in your vids! We bass players are in the market too! :)
(I can really imagine using the combination with the muff in my band)
Would you be able to use a bass with this to get a higher "guitar" sound from it?
YES!
5:46 makes this entire day worth living :D I love licks like that. Bill is the man!
Pedales altamente inspiradores... Siempre innovando.. Electro- Harmonix
Nice demo. Will this unit shift my guitar up from E flat to E standard?
Yup, upward minor 2nd, and you're good to go.
You can play djent without having a 7 or 8 string guitar
I’m sold! Christmas is almost here :-)
BEST. PEDAL. DEMO. EVER!
ive honestly never been more sold.
Look, it wasnt just the depth of the pedal, but the depth explored also.
however, the pedal certainly does impress. i like the prospects of being able to change my tuning without stressing the strings....heres some context on that; I am an adhd person, so often at time i get real-in-the-zone, ill go from standard to drop A to half step up with a capo and then back down to a drop b or something in a matter of one minute entirely and my strings will literally break from tuning down. multiply this and much more by 3+ hours a day 7 days a week
like i said, never been more sold.
It's just too good to be real.
Yeah ....on bass ....the combo of this and a big muff is kind of like Jon Lord in a box. It creates a huge addictive sound. I had a POG 2 and did extensive A/B and to me this pedal just sounds better. It hits all the marks. One of the best modern pedals hands down.
Great demo. Thanks a lot!
Pedal is awesome!!!!! Just got one. I highly recommend it!
