alternative to EFEKTOR WHAMMO PITCH SHIFTER anyone? – Effects Forum

If I understand correctly, you want specifically polyphonic pitch shifting to detune a specific amount?
Not the first thing that comes to mind when I see that hardware, which has a particular sound I love but I didn’t even realize there was a polyphonic-detecting stomp box, which is pretty cool. I being a non-guitar player.

But if you simply want to detune a specific amount, statically, for a song or a part that seems a lot easier to obtain than a 2-octave whammy pedal effect.

I think later I will play with Zynaptiq’s PitchMap and see how that sounds on guitar. I imagine if you add distortion before the pitch shifter it’d be a hot mess, but in principal lots of things should be able to do this, albeit without giving that specific tone whammy pedals impart. Polyphonic pitch detection in real time isn’t exactly something that’s easy yet, but PitchMap is completely bonkers so I’ll report back what I find.
