Electric Guitar Effects
The Bigsby Pedal is a revolutionary polyphonic pitch shifting pedal capable of reproducing the string bends and vibrato effects generated by a guitar's Bigsby tremolo bar. Thanks to its formidable Audio SHARC processor, it manages a hybrid algorithm specially developed by Gamechanger Audio to achieve smooth, polyphonic real-time pitch shifting at short intervals. It has been carefully engineered to preserve the natural timbre and sound of both electric and acoustic stringed instruments, including baritone guitars, basses, mandolins, banjos and more.

Presentation
Its unique spring-loaded pedal design makes it possible to achieve note changes in new and creative ways.
BigsbyPedal is always on, so all you have to do to activate it is move its pendulum.
The algorithm ensures that the transitions between the original sound and the effected sound are as smooth and seamless as possible, allowing you to incorporate note changes into complex picking patterns as well as melodic lines.
Another major element of the Bigsby Pedal's sound is its Detune setting, another algorithm designed to simulate the imperfections and dissonance of traditional mechanical string bends.
As a result, the vibrato effects produced by the Bigsby Pedal are almost identical to those of a guitar tremolo bar.

To find out more...
The Bigsby Pedal combines the note-change simulation of a tremolo bar with a range of features and modes that offer more than just note change.
- AUTO mode activates an LFO that controls pitch while the pedal controls depth.
- The BLEND setting provides dynamic chorus and harmonizer sounds.
- The external footswitch input allows the BIGSBY Pedal to be used in on/off mode for typical pitch shifting, octave, detune and chorus sounds.
- The Exp output allows the Bigsby Pedal to control other devices, either in conjunction with or separately from pitch shifting.
- MIDI CC and PC control of all parameters, preset recall and clock synchronisation.
