Gamechanger Audio Bigsby Pedal Polyphonic Pitch-Shifter

General

You might want to sit down, because Gamechanger Audio have managed to flip the proverbial script with this insane revolution of a pedal. This is the Bigsby polyphonic pitch shifter and it's about to break your brain. Essentially a digital reinvention of the legendary Bigsby tremolo system, this style-packed unit boasts a high-quality buffered bypass so you're assured of silent operation until you push on that tremolo arm. And - as soon as you push on that tremolo arm - a whole new sonic world is cracked open. This world isn't just filled with classic Bigsby-flavoured vibrato, leaving your hands free for other serious business, but warps and shifts the pitch of your instrument to dramatic, breathtaking effect.

The Gamechanger Bigsby Pedal: Seamless Transitions

Driven by the powerful SHARC® audio processor, the Bigsby pedal harnesses an exclusively developed hybrid algorithm that ensures smooth polyphonic, low-interval pitch-shifting in real-time. Basically, this pedal is able to keep the natural sound of your instrument perfectly intact, whether you're plugging in an electric or electro-acoustic guitar or bass, a mandolin, banjo, and on. This intelligent algorithm seamlessly transfers between the dry and wet pitch-shifted signal to result in the most organic and natural sounding effect possible.

Multiple Modes & Connection Options

This pedal even features a Detune parameter, which can be triggered to emphasise the dissonance and imperfections of a real tremolo system, so the sound of the Bigsby pedal is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Auto mode hands control of the pitch-bend speed over to the LFO while the pedal controls the depth, and using the Blend control, a chorus or harmoniser effect can be mixed into the output. Jack in an external latching footswitch to shape more standard pitch-shifting and octaver effects, or add an expression pedal to use the Bigsby to control other gear - with or without the pitch-shifting.
