Pitch pedals with blend controls or separate level controls

What's Hot
Been thinking about this. What pitch pedals offer a blend control, or at least separate level controls over wet and dry?

EHX Pitchfork, Boss PS-6, EHX Pog, Micro Pog, and Nano Pog.

Anything else? The Digitech Whammy and Ricochet pedals do not offer it, the only offer dry+octave modes, which are not controllable enough to be useful IMHO - the blend is fixed at 50/50 and usually for me it sounds better with more of a 70/30 towards the dry sound.

Bye!

    You could always run your pitch pedal of choice through a  Boss LS2 which will allow you to blend to your heart's  content.

    Pitchfork is a really cool and easy to use pedal, for what it's worth.

    Danelectro Chilli Dog? Cheap n cheerful, had one years ago. I has a PS-6 and the sweet spot is defo around that 70/30 mark on the mix knob for most of the sounds.

  • Line 6 M5 has this, so I assume the Helix family do too, although none of them are "A Pedal" in the way the ones you mention are.

    FWIW, given its age and outdatedness, the M5 does a bunch of pitch stuff you still can't get all in one place from other pitch shifters- MIDI control, presets, some fairly unusual scales to harmonize in...

    Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

    I'm fairly sure I've used the ones I've had more for this than any other application. They also have the great advantage that they have better switching and buffering than many pedals so they solve a lot of tone-suck problems. The only caveat is that if it's a digital pedal in the loop, it's likely to need a wet-only option or the latency will cause trouble when blended with the analogue dry signal. (Likewise with analogue pedals that reverse the overall phase, which some do.)

  • Mr Black does an mini pedal which has three controls for low and high octave levels, and the original signal level:

  • Thanks for the input everyone.

    I used my Pitch Fork at practice this weekend for a slow drawn out pitch-bending effect, and it worked quite well. So I think it's definitely an option to keep it, or wait for the Pitch Fork+ which will have more modes and presets and things.

    Bye!

    I assume rack devices are not under consideration?
