ELECTRO HARMONIX Pico Pitch Fork

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Pico Pitch Fork Polyphonic Pitch Shifter

The Electro-Harmonix Pico Pitch Fork is a powerful polyphonic pitch shifter packed into a compact chassis that will take up minimal space on your pedalboard. This pedal offers no less than 30 different pitch shifting options and features advanced controls, allowing you to achieve everything from a subtle "detune" effect to extreme jumps of up to 3 octaves.

One of the key features of this model is the Sweep function, which emulates the sound of a "Whammy" effect without the need for an additional expression pedal. Once the "Sweep" time is set, the pedal automatically "slides" from the initial sound to the selected interval when activated. Additionally, the footswitch can operate in both "Latch" and "Momentary" modes, allowing the effect to be active only as long as you hold down the button.

Key Features

• Polyphonic Operation: Accurate tracking of chords and single notes.
• 30 Intervals: 10 interval settings for each of the three modes.
• Modes (Mode Button):
  • Up (Red): Shifts pitch up.
  • Down (Green): Shifts pitch down.
  • Dual (Orange): Shifts pitch both up and down simultaneously (e.g., adds both a higher and a lower tone).
• Sweep Control: Allows setting the time (up to 4 sec.) over which the sound "slides" to the selected interval ("Whammy" effect).
• Footswitch: Supports "Latch" (toggle on/off) and "Momentary" (active only while pressed) modes.
• Controls: VOL (volume), BLEND (mix of clean/effect signal), SWEEP (slide time), SHIFT (interval selection).
