Essential Information About the Eventide MicroPitch Delay Pedal
- Pitch shifter + stereo delay inherited from the famous Eventide Harmonizers for instant and musical widening.
- Dual A/B path with fine detuning and high-resolution modulation for thick chorus, double-tracking, and tempo-synced special effects.
- Creative control via expression pedal, FLEX switch, five onboard presets, and advanced software management.
- Stage and studio ready: Guitar/Line levels, multiple bypass modes, MIDI over TRS and USB.
From the Harmonizer to the Pedalboard: Eventide's Legacy
Born from the legendary H910 and H949 and popularized with the H3000, the MicroPitch Delay condenses this expertise into a compact format. Its principle of subtle detuning of the two paths, combined with a short delay, remains a "secret weapon" to thicken a source and widen the stereo image without masking the playing.
Who Is It For and What For?
Ideal for guitarists, keyboardists, producers, and sound engineers, the MicroPitch Delay adapts from home studios to tours. It shines on clean arpeggios, leads that need to "cut" through the mix, synths, vocals, drums, strings, or brass. From pop-rock to modern metal, including ambient and indie, it adds density and width with immediate implementation on pedalboard or in insert.
Features and Deep Control
The pedal offers two independent pitch/delay lines with fine-step detuning, high-definition modulation, and new positive/negative envelope modulation sources. The dual-action footswitch can operate in latch or momentary mode, while the FLEX instantly doubles the pitch. Map any combination of parameters to an expression pedal, control it via MIDI over TRS or USB, and store up to five onboard presets, with dozens more available through the Eventide Device Manager software. Bypass options (Buffered, Relay, DSP+FX, Kill Dry) and the Guitar/Line switch ensure perfect integration on stage front-of-house, effects loop, or DAW interface. The "catch-up mode" facilitates adjustments during preset changes.
Sound Character
Transparent when needed, colored when pushed, the MicroPitch Delay delivers sumptuous stereo diffusion, an ultra-clean double-tracking feel, and smooth modulation. The meticulous detuning preserves attack and dynamics while thickening the timbre without blur. In extreme settings, it becomes a spectacular sound design tool, capable of moving textures and rhythmic effects that remain always musical.
