hardware pitch shifter

Post by borg »

Hi,

A friend is looking for a pitchshift device to use on a human voice, in a theatre play.

He will be using a wireless mic, which will go into a small mixer. The goal is to get 'a monster growl'.

I could recommend the digitech vocal 300, but was maybe looking at something cheaper...

Any suggestions?


Thanks!

if all you want is to pitch down a monster voice and you don't care about harmoy or such functions, dod made several cheap pitch shifters in the 80's and 90's(ips series) and some of the ibanez delays could do that as well. those would be cheap. something higher quality might be a Lexicon LXP-5. one of those should also be pretty cheap.

some Boss units have such algorithms, the VF-1 has it for sure
probably leant from the Voice Transformer
I have it in my SP808, too - quite funny... you may check the presets lists of Boss multi-fx boxes...

cheers, Tom
