Description

The Electronic Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

Mirror House creates two pitch-shifted copies of an incoming signal which veer off into equal and opposite directions. This diametric approach to pitch shifting is capable of weird detuning, disorienting microtonal clusters, chords of parallel harmony, or ugly, strange dissonance. (It can also be a chorus.)

The two pitch voices can be shifted both statically and dynamically, with a selection of ranges and behaviors. Envelope control creates dynamic vibrato, glissando, and divebomb effects as the voices pull apart and return to the center. In Flutter mode, Animate controls a random LFO, for a tastefully off-kilter chorus and vibrato. Detune and Flutter modes each have a static range of a semitone, while Shift mode is quantized up to an octave in both directions. Depending on your harmonic proclivities, this particular array of features is perhaps an invitation, perhaps a provocation.

This pedal was originally developed in collaboration with our friends in the band Pile, and Version 2 is now available as a steady offering in our product catalog. This new version features the new Flutter mode, improved envelope tracking, and a reduced noise floor compared to Version 1.

Controls:

  • Mix – relative level between the dry and effected signals. Turn clockwise to increase the amount of pitch-shifted signal. At maximum, no dry signal is present.
  • Amount – amount of static pitch shifting. Turn clockwise to move the two voices symmetrically away from the original signal. The upper voice increases in pitch, while the lower voice decreases in pitch.
  • Animate – additive modulation applied to the Amount control. Turn clockwise to increase the amount of modulation. In Shift and Detune modes, this is envelope-based. In Flutter mode, this is a random LFO.
  • Voices – mix between higher and lower pitch voices. In the center position, this is an equal mix. Turn clockwise to focus on the higher voice, and turn counterclockwise to focus on the lower voice. This will also influence the directionality of envelope motion.
  • Mode (toggle) – offers three modes:
    * Shift (Up): the Amount knob sets the amount of pitch shifting, in quantized semitone steps up to an octave.
    * Flutter (Middle): functions similarly to Detune mode, but the Animate knob controls a random LFO. Good for chorus and vibrato sounds.
    * Detune (Down): the Amount knob shifts each voice from unison up to a semitone.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.. Pitch. v2.
