If you’re integrating a harmonizer pedal into your signal chain with multiple other effects, the most practical way that you can provide power to them is by using a power supply unit (PSU).

My Review: I was originally drawn to the Brainwaves pedal by TC Electronic due to its flamboyant, eye-catching aesthetical design. Like all TC Electronic pedals, it has a unique visual quality which I found intriguing.Firstly, the ‘Key’ control allows you to determine the key of the song that you are playing on your guitar. The pedal is then able to set the duplicated notes to match that key. For example, if you chose A minor pentatonic, the pedal would know to include the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Who is this best suited for: If you don’t mind spending a little extra, the Eventide PitchFactor Harmonizer is one of the most sophisticated pedals money can buy. It also includes high-quality delays and other effects, so if you’re looking for an all-in-one modulation hub this could be the perfect solution. Guitar harmonizer pedals vary in terms of the controls and parameters they feature. Some are designed more simplistically, while others use complex digital processors to allow the musician to create complex harmonies to accompany their riffs, melodies, and chords.

The Marshmallow pitch-shifter by Alexander Pedals will strike an interest in many guitar players just by taking a glance – it has an exciting graphic design. However, the thing that will make them buy it is, of course, the fact that this pedal is one versatile beast. Boss is a brand that doesn’t need a special kind of introduction – they’ve been present on my pedalboards for decades, and they have proven to be constant in their sound quality and durable for a lifetime. The PS-6 Harmonist is, of course, no excuse. Recording the amplifier’s output using a microphone will ensure that your tone is consistent with the sound of your live guitar rig, but it will be more difficult to process the audio retrospectively due to the elements that the amp inevitably adds to the recording. My Review: At Guitar Lobby, we’re always on the lookout for weird and wonderful effects pedals. The second edition of EarthQuaker Devices’ Organizer is unlike any other harmonizer pedal and is designed to reproduce the tones of an organ-like instrument.

Here Are the Best Guitar Harmonizer Pedals

Who is this best suited for: Affordable and very easy to use, the Caline Big Dipper is recommendable to guitarists looking for a reasonably priced harmonizer pedal. It also performs the roles of a pitch shifter and octave shifter pedal, so if you’re considering purchasing either of those, this device may interest you. Then, once you’ve found the right balance between the sub-octave, dry and upper-octave notes, you can use the larger rotary control to change the harmonic content within the group. I was very impressed with the clean tone of this Mooer pedal, which remained even when dissonant harmonies are added into the mix. If you like to create unorthodox-sounding tones, you’ll love the unique effects offered by this pedal. I like how it combines pitch-shifting with harmonizer-like qualities, and it also makes a great alternative to a whammy pedal. I also must mention that the Pitch-Fork has a TRS input for an expression pedal, so you can do all those dive bombs on the fly using your foot, just like on the classic Whammy by Digitech. My Review: When I first got my hands on the Quintessence pedal, I could tell that this pedal offered a wide range of harmonizer-based options. I was particularly impressed by the detail of each of the four controls, which allowed me to control all aspects of the harmony effect.
