has any youtube person done a shootout with pitch shifters?
only ones I’ve had experience with are the digitech drop and QC and imo they are comparable in terms of feel and artifacts, you can generally get away with djent chug power chords but anything with some dissonance/extensions especially a cleaner tone will produce artifacts, for me it’s really only something I would use in a pinch for cover songs that are tuned down half a step and couldn’t get around it with regular tuning.
Unfortunately I haven’t seen any videos comparing each. Makes me want to because there is so much variance between how each pitch shifter reacts. Also now there are the two new Boss polyphonic pitch shifters which seem to sound good from the Andertons’s video that went up this week
I wish the quad cortex’s pitch modulation effects sounded perfect and without artifacts.
Yes, QCs transposer (and pitch shifter ) is bad. I am using Boss XS-1 for shifting… (Before i used Digitech Drop, Hammer On, DT , etc… Now, best is BOSS XS-1 in my opinion) .
I sold all analog pedals for QC. Now i am only using QC and Boss XS-1. If transposer can be better, i’d sell BOSS. My goal is to use only QC.
