Pitch Up pedals

[nash]

So there's the Digitech drop that'll move your pitch down but are there any that move it up?

I use a whammy, but I think the EHX POG pedals have better tracking

I've not got much experience myself, but I've had the same search myself for a long time, and from what I can tell the POG always seemed to be the best option.

POG all the way.

Mooer Tender Octaver is pretty good IMO. Note that octave-up will always sound very synthetic. A classic solution is to add OD or fuzz to mask some of this.

On the other hand, if you didn't want a pure octaver effect, Earthquaker have got some seriously cool octave-based effects that are a bit more left-field. (As well as a simple octave up pedal.)

Boss PS5 pitch shifter will do this, along with lots of other things. It's not great at tracking the lowest few notes on the E but great elsewhere.

The thing is that pedal is more like a traditional octavia/green ringer style fuzz which will give Octave up overtones if played in a certain way but it is essentially a drive pedal rather than a pedal that actually synthesizes an Octave up in the way that a Pog/hog/pitchshifter does.

It is cool though, my Mutron Octave divider clone has one built in. Its so dirty and I can get some really interesting tones out of it.

The Pitch Fork is really good but I think the smoothest, most natural-sounding digital pedal pitch shifter is the one in the Line 6 M-series pedals. It tracks fast too, it's really an amazing algorithm and it works brilliantly on bass.

I've got a Pitch Fork and an Eventide H9 on my board and I still miss the Whammy effect on my old M9, it was better than either of them.
