Pitch shifting delay

[Ghost Hip]

I stick a Boss PS-2 in the effects loop of a Rubberneck. You can pitch it up or down for delays that take off or plunge into the depths.

Fuck I totally forgot the Rubberneck has a loop. Want one even more now

Btw, dunno if you have any PS-3 experience? Probably the oldes pedlol question on the interweb, srry...: What's the difference? Love my PS-3, but what am I missing out on?

Also a video of messing with the sampling of PS-2 into the PS-3

I've never tried a PS-3 so maybe someone else will chime in. The PS-2 was cheap which is why I grabbed it. That and the Slowdive connection. I really like how the repeats thin out as they decay as opposed to my other delays which have a different flavor. Nothing else I've used has quite the same decay ... the low end slowly gets filtered out leaving high frequency artifacts. Plus you can put it in "Manual Pitchshift" mode and dial it so it's just barely sharp or flat, turn up the regen and get an effect not unlike a Rainbow Machine. Tune it like that and put it in the Rubberneck for epic weirdness.

EDIT: Didn't see the comparison video before posting. I'm happier with my PS-2 now just for the record. If anyone's keeping track ... which they aren't.

Tnks!

I dig the analog-esque vibe of the PS-2. The PS-3 seems a bit more hi-fi, which is kinda wasted on me. Mode 7 is cool, but other than that, I guess something like a pitchfork would make more sense if I wanted a fast tracking versatile pitch shifter...

I mainly keep mine on my board for the digital delay, but there's plenty of sweeter options on the market for tricked out digital delay pedals. It's just that they usually cost considerably more ...:/

Highly recommend looking at the Boss PS-6 if you want a bit more wild stuff on top of fast tracking pitch shifting/harmonies. I had a blast demoing one and messing with the rise/fall time on S Bend mode. Gets all the wacky tape bending sounds of a whammy for less space and with less foot work.

I think the Raster does exactly what you're describing...?

[Seance]

this is like the one thing timebender doesn't do. Or it could alternate between two/three different pitches but not continually keep going. That bicycle delay thing does that tho

Bitquest
Bicycle Delay

I may be wrong, but I do not think that the Bicycle Delay does "pitch" shifting.

That depends on if I've understood the technical stuff. But my understanding is that
the Catalinbread Bicycle Delay shifts repeats based on frequency, not pitch.
So if you want all your notes shifted up by a fifth, then a pitch delay will do that.
But a "frequency delay" like the Bicycle Delay will just shift frequencies by some
number, which won't uniformly give a specific "pitch" difference. Which is why
it sort of gets in the glockenspiel/bowls/ring modulation territory because it's
more warble and weird than a strict shift of a musical interval.

Or maybe you guys are right and I don't really understand what I thought that I
almost understood?

I recently built an attemp at octa-delay, called the Elevator Pitch

It's a pt2399 delay with the repeats going trough a Green Ringer based octa-fuzz circuit, kinda like if you put an EQD Tentacle in the Rubberneck's loop.

At first I was not so keen on the dirtiness of the repeats, but it ended up growing on me.

Glad you tried this. I was block diagraming a prelim schematic of something similar a few years back, but never got to breadboard or build. I wanted to also do a Blue Box-type sub octave mixed in dry outside the delay loop.

Pretty sure the pigtronix echolution 2 can do repeats that continuously pitch up.

The Zoom offerings definitely have a pitch delay model as well (MS; G3)

Frankly, you should look hard at the timebender, not entirely sure what sound you are looking for but pitching and harmonizing repeats is what this thing does.

Goddamn, now I am regretting selling my PS-3. Gues I’ll hunt for another one.

This is cool imo

The EHX Canyon totally does this in the Octave mode. And now they've released the crazygonuts-fully-featured "Grand Canyon," which will have all kinds of crazy levels of control over pitchyness...

I forgot about this thread—I got a PS-3.
