SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – HARMAN DigiTech’s is going full
throttle with the introduction of its Swing Shift quad-pitch-shift e-pedal for
its iStomp programmable pedal. Swing
Shift provides a four-voice pitch shift effect, letting guitarists mix Octave
Down, Fifth Down, Octave Up and Fifth Up voices with their original note to
create massive harmonized chords, riffs and solos.
“Sometimes guitarists want an effect that’s subtle – and sometimes they want
something completely over the top,” said Scott Klimt, marketing manager for
DigiTech. “Our Swing Shift lets them have it either way – it can add a hint of
an upper or lower octave or perfect fifth to the original signal, or use all
four intervals and generate a huge pipe organ-like sound.”
The DigiTech Swing Shift four knobs let users mix in any amount of octave down,
fifth down, octave up and fifth up, individually or in any combination. By
adding an overdrive or distortion pedal after the Swing Shift, guitarists can
create huge-sounding power chords and polyphonic riffs.
The DigiTech iStomp is an entirely
new concept in guitar stompboxes that allows musicians to turn the iStomp into
any pedal in the Stomp Shop online pedal store. Offering almost limitless sonic
possibilities, the iStomp connects to an Apple iOS device where musicians can
use the Stomp Shop app to load it with the e-pedal of their choice. The Stomp
Shop is a free app and comes with two of the most popular requested pedals, the
DigiTech Total Recall Delay™ and the DigiTech Redline Overdrive™. It gives
access to more than 40 additional pedals that musicians can browse, try out and
purchase, with more e-pedals added every month.
The DigiTech Swing Shift e-pedal
will be available in October 2012 at an introductory price of $0.99. This
introductory price will run for 30 days. After the introductory period the
price will change to $9.99.
The DigiTech iStomp is currently
available at $229.95 suggested retail.
