Mooer Drop Pitch Harmonizer Guitar Effect Box - MPS1 Octave Pitch Box Guitar Harmonizer Pedal with True Bypass

I play Bass in a cover band where too often we need to transpose one or two steps down, cause the singers do not reach the heights of the originals.I already changed to a 5-string, but still, it's very messy to transpose it all on the fly, and often you need those open strings, to get it grooving.So I surely appreciate a device which does the pitch shift for me.I tried the Digitech Drop once which costs more than double, but it influences my bass-tone in a way I could not tolerate, so I had to send it back immediately.Then I stumbled upon the Mooer and thought, can it be better for such a low price?And indeed, it can! You should put it in front of any other effects and then the sound with a pitched signal (for the most I do only -1 and -2) is really good. For a well-trained ear, there is a little latency, but I absolutely can live with it.Since it’s so cheap I really appreciate the sound but if you have any sense of timing the latency would be hard to handle!

I like this little thing it’s fun to play with but it does get a weird on the higher notes but would recommend if you want something fun

I wanted an easier way to swap to lower tuning without having a dedicated guitar set up specifically for thick strings. My interest specifically was for c standard. After much research I decided a pitch shift pedal was the best option. Since I'm new and just trying this out, I didn't want an expensive pedal.So far this has been the easiest way to go. The pedal build and design feels high metal quality and doesn't take much space. The sound quality feels slightly artificial but that just might be typical for this type of effect. I've only used the pedal for this specific purpose. I haven't used the other settings in a way they I enjoyed however I expect I'll find a use that I like.

Excellent pedal for getting that shoegaze-ey saturated distortion tone when in the detune setting.

I’m comparing this VSN Harmonizer and the Mooer Pitch Box to the Donner Harmonic Square. They’re all pitch shifter mini pedals but only the Donner is usable (i actually replaced my EHX Pico Pitchfork with the Donner which is $50 vs the Pitchfork’s $200.)The VSN and Mooer have extremely inaccurate pitch tuning on all intervals and close to slapback level latency. hilarious. The Pico Pitchfork has some very cool features but the sound is really weird and cold. I’m a jazz/blues/fusion/rock/whatevs player and use octaves with drive for lines, 5ths and 4ths for lines and some “synthy” chording over a static tonal center. The Donner sounds great clean or with varying degrees of drive. definitely worth the price

I’ve been looking for a pedal like this for a while. I currently use a Digitech Drop, but I’d like something that can go up in pitch.I received the pedal today and gave it a run-through. Here are my thoughts …The Good:1) Very inexpensive for what it does.2) Lots of interval options.3) Three different modes to pick from.4) Small pedalboard footprint.The Bad:1) Definite hiss when active. Not a showstopper, but noticeable.2) Audible digital artifacts even when you’re only one interval from the input signal. Again, not horrific, but noticeable.3) Detectable latency. It’s right on the edge of being recognizable but it’s definitely there. Not so bad it’s unusable but could definitely be annoying.It’s too bad because this pedal is *almost* there. With a little higher quality DSP they might have had a runaway hit on their hands. As it is, it’s usable in a pinch but it’s no replacement for my Drop pedal.

Perfect to get drop tunings. Extremely easy to use. Sturdy and sounds good, all in a small size.

My son said it works better than the $200 pedal he had.
