Gamechanger Audio Bigsby Pedal Polyphonic Pitch-Shifter
Descrizione
You might want to sit down, because Gamechanger Audio have managed to flip the proverbial script with this insane revolution of a pedal. This is the Bigsby polyphonic pitch shifter and it's about to break your brain. Essentially a digital reinvention of the legendary Bigsby tremolo system, this style-packed unit boasts a high-quality buffered bypass so you're assured of silent operation until you push on that tremolo arm. And - as soon as you push on that tremolo arm - a whole new sonic world is cracked open. This world isn't just filled with classic Bigsby-flavoured vibrato, leaving your hands free for other serious business, but warps and shifts the pitch of your instrument to dramatic, breathtaking effect.
The Gamechanger Bigsby Pedal: Seamless Transitions
Driven by the powerful SHARC® audio processor, the Bigsby pedal harnesses an exclusively developed hybrid algorithm that ensures smooth polyphonic, low-interval pitch-shifting in real-time. Basically, this pedal is able to keep the natural sound of your instrument perfectly intact, whether you're plugging in an electric or electro-acoustic guitar or bass, a mandolin, banjo, and on. This intelligent algorithm seamlessly transfers between the dry and wet pitch-shifted signal to result in the most organic and natural sounding effect possible.
Multiple Modes & Connection Options
This pedal even features a Detune parameter, which can be triggered to emphasise the dissonance and imperfections of a real tremolo system, so the sound of the Bigsby pedal is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Auto mode hands control of the pitch-bend speed over to the LFO while the pedal controls the depth, and using the Blend control, a chorus or harmoniser effect can be mixed into the output. Jack in an external latching footswitch to shape more standard pitch-shifting and octaver effects, or add an expression pedal to use the Bigsby to control other gear - with or without the pitch-shifting.

Il fait très bien ce qu'il est censé faire, et beaucoup moins bien le reste. Pour simuler un effet de vibrato Bigsby manuel (léger detune ou petit vibrato), c'est très réaliste et ça a l'avantage de pouvoir continuer à jouer en même temps. Mais pour ce qui est d'un pitch shifter, par exemple transposer ou d'autres choses, il y a un retard qui peut vite être très gênant. En résumé, c'est une excellente alternative au vibrato Bigsby manuel mais rien d'autre !
Ik mis al lang een tremoloarm op m'n gitaar, maar vond nooit een andere gitaar die me evengoed lag... Deze pedaal is de ultieme oplossing. Inderdaad is er merkbare latency als je hem bij het spelen ingedrukt houdt, dus daarvoor zou ik andere pitchshifters gebruiken, maar voor shiften na aanzet van noot of akkoord voelt en klinkt het effect erg natuurlijk. Mijn zoektocht is in elk geval ten einde.
Op zich écht een heel leuke pedaal en heel veelzijdig? Niet enkel een 'soft' Bigsby effect want je kan zowel de pitch down als up van een halve noot tot een volledig octaaf aanpassen én ook locken als je wil. Kwaliteit is heel goed, stevig, je kan er ook een vibrato effect aan toevoegen. Ik heb enkel 1 probleem en dat probeer ik nog uit te zoeken maar vanaf je het effect gebruikt, krijg je een kleine latency van paar milliseconden maar genoeg dat je niet meer 'in sync' voelt en das niet leuk. Valt niet op niet tijdens akkoord + Bigsby, enkel wanneer je speelt en gebruikt tegelijk.

La pédale bénéficie d'un monopole et est clairement trop chère mais elle fait le job quand possède a une guitare qui n'a pas de barre vibrato... ou un mauvais vibrato qui désaccorde la guitare. Et si on possède plusieurs guitares sans vibrato, ça devient carrément intéressant d'investir dans la pédale Gamechanger Audio Bigsby. Par contre, je ne suis pour le moment pas convaincu par d'autres variations d'effets que propose la pédale. J'aurais donc préféré plus basique... et moins cher, forcément.
