Can POD HD do pitch doubling effect?

Hey guys,

 

I've got a POD HD300 to try out today and one effect I can't seem to find is a basic pitch doubling effect. All of the pitch effects available from the FX1 knob seem to only do harmony functions, but I want to set the interval between the original note and the effected noted to just a few cents above or below to thicken up the sound. Is this possible with the POD HD series?

    Select pitch glide from the pulldown. You'll need two since its a mono device and assign these appropriately L/R in the signal chain.

     

    Set one to Left and the other to Right at your taste and requirements do the following.

     

    I usually set my pitch shifter at either

    -6, 45% and +6, 45% (EVH style) works well for hard rock/heavy metal

    in conjunction with ducked stereo delays (370-400ms, 22% regen pan r>70)

    or

    -5, 45% and +5, 45% (Lukather style) works well for blues/bles/rock/fusion

    in conjunction with ducked stereo delays (300-400ms, 22% regen, pan r>70)

     

    Diff people like Carl Verheyen use pitch values of -12 +5 in the studio.

     

    The classic rock stereo pitch is -11L -11R or -13L -13R very wet (like 70-85%) for more wet dry wet 80s stuff

     

    Crazy drop tuning stuff is in the -100 pitch zone gasp!

     

    The very basic way to get a doubler is the same way you set it up in a TCE 2290

    with one delay at 30ms or 80ms. Elementry Holmes ...

     

    My Rocktron Prophesy has an amazing doubled lead patch with

    PAN completely to the right, delay time 16ms, Regen 0%

     

    You've got a lot of options.

     

    From my experience in the studio a combination of very short delays in conjunction with stereo pitch shifting is the ticket for recording w/o totally faaking it up.

     

    For live I keep stereo pitch at 45% wetness otherwise it gets too estrogeney mushy

     

    I personally don't like any delay shorter than 224ms starting in the basic Ritchie Blackmore tape delay zone. I'm not a slapback country guy dig?

     

    have fun with it -
