Eventide MicroPitch Delay Pedal, Stereo Pitch-Shifted Delay

Eventide MicroPitch Delay: Lush Stereo Width from a Compact Pedal

The Eventide MicroPitch Delay is a dual pitch-shifted delay pedal that pairs fine-resolution de-tuning with modulation to create wide, three-dimensional stereo textures. It brings one of Eventide's most beloved studio effects, the micro pitch shift, to a compact stompbox that drops onto any pedalboard. From subtle thickening to cavernous ambient washes, it is the pedal that makes a single instrument sound bigger than the room it is played in.

How Micro Pitch Shifting Creates Width

The MicroPitch Delay runs two independent pitch voices, each detuned by just a few cents and fed through its own delay line. Because the human ear reads tiny pitch and time differences between the left and right channels as space, these micro shifts spread a mono source into a broad, immersive stereo image without the obvious warble of a chorus. Pushing the detune and delay further turns that subtle widening into shimmering, dreamlike ambience. This is the same technique studios have used for decades to fatten vocals and guitars, now available in real time under your foot.

Modulation and Delay for Depth and Motion

On top of the pitch shifting, variable modulation adds gentle movement to the delays, giving the effect a living, chorus-like quality that never sits still. The delay times range from tight slap-back to long, evolving repeats, so the pedal covers everything from doubling to full ambient soundscapes. Blending the detuned voices with the modulated delay lets you tune the balance between width and echo precisely for the part. The result is depth that feels natural and musical rather than gimmicky.

Five Presets and Deep Editing

Five presets are stored onboard for instant footswitch recall, and the Eventide Device Manager software unlocks dozens more along with deep parameter editing over USB. That means you can build a small set of go-to sounds for live use while keeping an expandable library for the studio. The pedal's controls are laid out for quick tweaking on stage, yet the software gives producers the fine control they expect from Eventide. It is equally comfortable as a plug-and-play ambience box or a deeply programmable studio tool.

Built for the Board and the Studio

Connectivity centers on a 1/4-inch TRS input and two 1/4-inch TS outputs, so the MicroPitch Delay runs mono into a single amp or full stereo into two amps or an interface. Its compact enclosure and striking red finish make it easy to place on a crowded board, and the included universal 9V DC supply with US, EU, UK, JP, and AU adapters covers gigs anywhere. USB connectivity keeps it current with updates and preset transfers. Whether it lives on a touring pedalboard or in a studio rack of pedals, it fits without fuss.

Who the MicroPitch Delay Is For

The MicroPitch Delay is for guitarists chasing wide, ambient tones, and for producers, synth players, and engineers who want that classic studio detune-and-delay effect in a hardware pedal. It excels at stereo widening and thickening, lush ambient delays, and adding depth to live and studio rigs alike. If you have ever wanted your sound to fill the whole stereo field with a single footstep, this is the pedal built to do it.
