Review: Eventide Pitch Factor
Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:08:00 +0100When I hear the name Eventide I immediately think of expensive pro rack effect units such as the H3000 made famous by players such as Steve Vai in the late 80's which has now been replaced by the H8000FW. Anyway Eventide concentrated on their rack effects units for many years until recently unleashing a trio of stomp boxes, the TimeFactor (Delay effects), the ModFactor (Modulation effects such as chorus, flanger, phaser) and the newest addition the PitchFactor. When I received the PitchFactor from Eventide I was very excited, I had never used an Eventide product before but had heard their effects on so many records. This pedal is what most people would have expected Eventide to release as their first stomp box as this is their Harmonizer in a pedal and it is very hard to categorize as you will see in my video demo. I have left out the most obvious effect which is the actual diatonic harmonizer effect which harmonizes your signal in whatever key you like, and is very easy to set by holding a button and strumming a chord the Eventide analyses and sets the key to harmonize to. There are a few good video demos on YouTube which show these features, I chose not to focus on this because I wanted to point out how many things this pedal actual does apart from this effect! incidentally they have also utilised this advanced pitch analysis to include a very accurate chromatic tuner which is a nice addition. I also want to point out that I don't own an expression pedal but if you do this expands the possibilities of the PitchFactor immensely as it can control the wet/dry mix of an effect or any combination of parameters, for example you can use it to create whammy pedal effects or change the attack of the HarPeggiator(tm) which as you will see has some crazy sounds. You can also control program changes and vary parameters continuously via MIDI which is beyond my comprehension but I'm sure some of the more technical guitarists out there will appreciate this feature. Another nice feature is that the PitchFactor supports instrument or line level inputs and outputs so you can use it in front of the amp or in an amp effects loop which to me is very important. The PitchFactor is quite a large stomp box (4.8" (H) x 7.5" (W) x 2.12" (D)) due to all these extra features that is probably the width of 3 Boss pedals but if you were to put all 3 Eventide pedals on a board you probably have every effect you are ever going to use covered. It is also built to last with rugged cast metal construction, the second you pick it up you know this pedal is going to withstand a lifetime of gigs. The PitchFactor has Tap tempo and MIDI clock sync and 100 factory presets which are unlimited through MIDI. The presets are easy to flick through... (Read complete news)

Concert delays
Thu, 21 May 2009 20:47:00 +0100It looks like the Michael Jackson concerts at the O2 are becoming the car-crash most of us predicted they'd be. However, it's happening before they've even started: the first four shows have been delayed because, the promoters say, he needs more rehearsal time. People are unhappy. I was going to have to sell or exchange [...]... (Read complete news)
