Caline CP-36 Big Dipper Pitch Shifter

Product Information

My Review: I’ve long been an admirer of BOSS’ diverse range of guitar pedals. They’ve created an instantly recognizable design blueprint, and all of their pedals are as roadworthy as they come. The Harmonist PS-6 is their flagship harmonizer pedal, and I couldn’t wait to experiment with its many controls and functions. Nowadays, there are brands on the market that can make a great-sounding guitar pedal for an affordable price. For example, Mooer, Caline, Boss, Behringer, etc… All these brands make decent effect pedals that sell for affordable prices.

If you’re integrating a harmonizer pedal into your signal chain with multiple other effects, the most practical way that you can provide power to them is by using a power supply unit (PSU). If you plan to use your harmonizer pedal as a standard component in your signal chain it’s unlikely that you’ll need multiple inputs or outputs. However, if you want to use the pedal to split your signal you’ll need more than one output to facilitate this. Then there’s the ‘Mix’ control which is sometimes also labeled ‘Dry/Wet’. This determines the blend between the dry signal of the guitar and the harmonies created by the pedal.The CP-36 Pitch Shifter is a new pedal from Caline with a boatload of options which allow you to get practically any pitch or octave sound you're after. Great with single notes and chords alike. The wet and dry knobs allow you to blend the original signal vs the new harmonic signal. The detune mode on the selector ranges from -15 to +25 cents and again can be a subtle to "experimental" sounding effect depending on the settings. Takes a 9v power supply. It’s also possible to power some harmonizer pedals using a 9-volt battery, however, this shouldn’t be relied on too heavily as there’s always the chance that the pedal could cut out midway through a recording taking or performance! When recording your harmonizer pedal, you can either connect it directly to the input on your audio interface and capture the audio in your chosen DAW, or use a microphone that is placed in front of your amplifier speaker. A good quality PSU allows you to supply all of your pedals with the optimal voltage they require to function properly. The unit is connected to the pedal using power cables, and these can be left in place to save you time when you need to use your pedals. The number of inputs and outputs included on guitar harmonizer pedals differs depending on the model and the individual specifications of the device.

I learned that the H9 is much more than a standard harmonizer device. With over 50 unique algorithms, including PitchFactor, TimeFactor, Space, and ModFactor, this pedal is capable of producing everything from ear-friendly harmonies to long-tailed reverbs and delays.

In the context of harmonizer pedals, the original note played on the guitar is accompanied by a note which is generated by the device. This synthesized harmony merges with the original note to make a new tone, and it usually responds, or moves with the notes played on the instrument. Operating this harmonizer pedal couldn’t be any more straightforward. The two rotary knobs are used to decide the blend between the dry signal of the guitar and the wet signal of the pedal. When I began to play around with the central selector switch, the pedal showed its versatility. My Review: At Guitar Lobby, we’re always on the lookout for weird and wonderful effects pedals. The second edition of EarthQuaker Devices’ Organizer is unlike any other harmonizer pedal and is designed to reproduce the tones of an organ-like instrument. Who is this best suited for: I’d strongly recommend the TC Electronic Quintessence to two types of guitarists. Firstly, those who already have a decent knowledge of music theory, harmony, and intervals will love the functionality and attention to detail of this pedal. Secondly, those who are hoping to learn more about the theoretical side of music will also find it to be valuable to their development! With original late-70s Op-Amp Big Muffs selling for exorbitant prices, Mike Matthews decided to take the power to the people and reissue the classic pedal at a price that players could afford! The circuitry of the new Op-Amp Big Muff —sometimes also referred to as the IC or V4 Big Muff— has been faithfully re-created while several practical enhancements have been added including a compact, die-cast chassis and true bypass switching.
