«  Very effective »

POLYPHONIC digital pitch shifter, it is important to clarify: this is the only one on the market that I know ...

A USB port lets you keep the firmware update as soon as Morpheus improves, they post on their site. A simple click on the executable file, and now your foot with improved software.

A jack in and jack out (with level control input): note that this is a TRUE BYPASS.

I do not put 5 stars for good reason: no MIDI connection, it would have been fichetrement practice!

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple to learn, the manual does not serve much use ...

The button "Up" turns into "Instant Off" when the effect is activated, it provides a lot of opportunity (imagine a piece tuned like a barbarian, and put a little effect in the solo you play in real time with the pitch of the note ...)

(I refer you on Youtube demo to get a clearer picture)

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is really good, you can not ask for more. The converters seem to me very good, and there is no vibration of some note or anything!

You are in E standard, 2 kicks later you're given a lower tone, as if you had another guitar in his hands, bluffing.

I said that I play on Ibanez RG Prestige mainly with TC Electronic G Major 2, Mesa Rectifier preamp and power amp Mesa 20:20.

The negative point (yeah, it takes one): latency. Attention, no worries for playing rhythm to pull larigot, you will not notice quedal. on the other hand, to very precise solos played in unison with another instrument, it can pose a slight problem. But I do not have realized that after a while, so it's a sign that it's not really obvious.

on the other hand, this latency problem if you have another pedal digital downstream (in my case an Acoustic Simulator), then the latency due to digital processing plus: you can hear it clearly. (But no worries with my digital multi effects TC Electronics, the quality of converters and firmware plays a major role)

OVERALL OPINION

It's a great pedal, which avoids going into debt to buy 8 different guitars just to give different ...

We play with my band Dream Theater is a must!

The downside of the slight lag will eventually be resolved with firmware improved by the flat cons of MIDI connection ... It was in the bone! It's really the only negative point (oh hey, I forgot ... its rather large size animal, not easy to squeeze in anywhere)

Appraisal: really trying, I'm satisfied and I can even say it changed my life! (At least, the guitarist)

EDIT: this pedal is to be achieved before any other effect! it takes a signal as pure as possible to treat it optimally, it is obvious, but I think it's not hard to remember.
