Re: OT: Vocal Harmonizer recommendations? / MXR

[Rev Fever <revfever@ubergadget.com>]

I have an old MXR Pitch Transposer that is built like a tank and still works great and has a very unique over all quality of sound that, so far, 

I have not heard as much the same from other units. I have always just run instruments through it, but it does great for bizarre sounding vocal input too.

 It also has these 4 wonderful "touch sensitive" control knobs. You set the pitch shifts any of the ways you want it to on the 4 knobs, 

and then you can change the effects going out on the fly by simply touching the tops of the knobs.  I hope I explained that clear enough? :-)

I also got the device *used* WAY back in the mid 80's and the thing has been a reliable work horse ever since.

It is one of my more favorite devices that I have, along with the wonderful Mu-Tron Bi-Phase unit that I have had for even LONGER.

And, my Multivox Multi-Echo too, of course. :-)

I have an Intellifex- I would never use the pitch effects in it- although I must admit it has been a while since it was used.

Reverb and chorus, yes.

I don't remember it being an intelligent pitch-shifter though.

My pitch effects are usually TDM plugins these days although I use a Lexicon MPXG2 live for pitch effects- it is 1 part diatonic and sounds great, but it is a guitar processor.

One very under-rated device is the Digitech Quad- a really good sounding budget box with 4in, 4 out and very flexible routing.

It has pitch effects and I remember them being pretty decent- you should be able to find a Quad for under $100.

Worth getting just for gits and shingles.

The Rocktron Intellifex actually does a pretty credible job, IIRC. Do check with someone who actually has one around to verify that.
