TC Electronic Brainwaves Pitch Shifter Pedal for Electric Guitars

For musicians seeking to push the boundaries of their sound, the Brainwaves Pitch Shifter Pedal for Electric Guitars offers an unparalleled fusion of advanced technology and robust performance. This studio-grade pitch shifter, clad in a striking pink hue, is a master of polyphonic effects, including whammy and detune, and a host of others accessible via the dedicated TonePrint app.

The Brainwaves Pitch Shifter is renowned for its award-winning MASH footswitch, which delivers the functionality of an expression pedal in a compact, pedal board-friendly size. Its Pitch-shifting mode is a game-changer, capable of adding up to two extra voices to your sound, above or below the original signal. This feature allows for a vast array of sonic possibilities, from replicating the iconic solo from "Owner of a Lonely Heart" to achieving rock-solid sharp or flat tunings on a standard-tuned guitar, without the need for actual detuning.

The Polyphonic Pitch Syndrome (PPS) feature sets the Brainwaves Pitch Shifter apart. With separate voices pitched in either direction, the polyphonic algorithm enables effortless processing of pitch-shifted chords, riffs, and rapid single-note sequences. Each voice can be adjusted from unison to two octaves up or down, providing a range that rivals an interstellar battle cruiser. Custom pitch settings can be quickly created via the free TonePrint app, allowing you to explore and define your unique pitch personality.

The Atomic Pink Whammy mode delivers a potent sonic punch with its two individually programmable voices. Transition from sweet and mellow to a 2-octave, dive bomb explosion with a simple press of the MASH footswitch. The Detune mode broadens your sound for a more open, sweet, and dynamic tone, complementing complex chord voicings, even those steeped in distortion.

Whether you're after the squeaky clean, watery '80s tones or the gritty, thickened sound of post-1984 Van Halen, the Brainwaves Pitch Shifter has you covered. The Mix knob allows you to blend the perfect amount of effect, maintaining a balanced sound, even at extreme settings.

The MASH technology, exclusive to select TC Electronic products, offers a new level of creative expression, controlled solely by the pressure applied to the foot-switch. This innovative feature transcends the typical "On" and "Off" duties of a foot-switch, enhancing your performance.

The TonePrint feature offers signature effects from some of the most influential artists in music, available for free download. The Brainwaves Pitch Shifter is designed with a commitment to tonal integrity, offering optimized headroom, True Bypass or Buffered Bypass switch, and Kill-Dry on/off. The Analog-Dry-Through ensures your dry sound is always passed through the pedal in its pure analog glory, whether the pedal is on or off.

With the free TonePrint app for Android and iPhone, you can beam your chosen TonePrint directly from your phone through your guitar's pickup into your TonePrint pedal, no cables needed. The TonePrint app gives you full control over all effects parameters, empowering you to create your own signature TC sound.
