Description

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.

Chorus Pedals

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.

Chorus

Chorus is a modulation effect that thickens and widens a sound by duplicating the signal, slightly detuning it, and modulating its pitch over time. This creates the impression of multiple instruments playing together, resulting in a rich, shimmering, and spacious tone.

It is commonly used on guitar, bass, and keyboards to add movement and depth, working especially well with clean or lightly driven sounds. Chorus became strongly associated with 1980s music but remains widely used across pop, rock, ambient, and modern styles for its ability to make a sound feel fuller and more animated.

Vibrato

Vibrato is an effect that creates a subtle or pronounced pitch variation by modulating the signal up and down over time. Unlike chorus or tremolo, vibrato affects pitch only, producing a wavering or shimmering sound without changing volume.

It is used to add movement, expression, and a sense of warmth to a sound, working especially well on sustained notes and chords. Vibrato can range from gentle and musical to bold and psychedelic, and is commonly found in vintage amplifiers, modulation pedals, and classic studio effects.
