Then we move on to delay setting, which is controlled by four combinable buttons (7.5, 15, 30 and 60 milliseconds) with up to 112.5 mS. It’s apparently simple and straight-forward, but just apparently - it’s quite an intricate beast! Having said that, it all starts on the left side with the input level, which isn’t just a plain gain setting as it also affects the unit’s headroom and what happens further down the road - Eventide recommends to crank up this knob until the “limit” LED blinks to maximize the effect, then drop a little to avoid clipping - or just drive it into distortion territory if you’re after such thing.

I’ll follow the hardware layout for a brief explanation but first a disclaimer: the controls are obviously intertwined and don’t follow quite the linear logic that I’m about to adopt for this description, so keep that in mind and don’t take this overview as any sort of rule - please read the manual for a thorough comprehension of the signal path. The H910 is a time, pitch and feedback manipulator with apparently primitive controls for today’s standards but immensely powerful when you put it in perspective - so powerful that it remains relevant and still sparks interest in 2016. The scope: The first harmonizer, the one who started it all for digital effects and the piece that launched Eventide to its glorious path back in 1976 when it was introduced.

Is it the best guitar harmonizer pedal out there? In our Eventide PitchFactor review, you’ll find out. Now let’s get on to the real test of this Eventide PitchFactor review. I must say that I was very excited about this pedal upon receiving it. The first thing I did when I plugged it in was pull out my old transcription book from Steve Vai’s classic Passion and Warfare album, dial up the Ballerina 12/24 preset, and see if I could really get that sound. Suddenly, I was pulling off all of those classic harmonizer sounds without having spent several thousand dollars for a massive Eventide rack unit. It’s quite a feat that those legendary sounds are now available in a compact stompbox. I want to cover everything and run down each mode briefly with a short summary of my thoughts. While other harmony pedals give you a choice of an additional note or two, the PitchFactor’s Diatonic mode stands apart in letting you delay each harmonized note by a carefully specified amount to add unique rhythmic variations to your playing. This is one of the go-to harmony effects this pedal offers. This effect lets you add up to 4 pitch shifted voices to the original note. It can sound awesome with careful attenuation. If extreme is your thing, you can certainly craft some over-the-top orchestral voices. This effect can get extreme as well, taking you from subtle modulation effects across it’s amazing 6-octave range (3 up and 3 down) to intense otherworldly insanity. This effect offers you very subtle pitch shifting for fattening up your sound with chorus-like effects and slap-back delays. This effect certainly shows off the versatility of the PitchFactor as it can serve as a great chorus effect when not needed for serious pitch shifting. This effect emulates the classic harmonizer rack units that this pedal is based off.
You can switch between 4 different modes for a wide range of pitch-shifted and delayed sounds only now with 10 times the maximum delay of the original gear. You can go deep here to really craft your perfect sound. This effect may be used with an expression pedal or the Flex footswitch to create Whammy-style effects.
