Best tracking and not very expensive harmoniser?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys,

So I've tried my guitarist whammy and i loved it. Harmonics sounds so awesome with synth pedals.

What harmonisr you would suggest?
And i need really good tracking, because before harmoniser i wanna put some hardcore stuff. syb-5 -> oc-2 -> overdrive > chorus> harmoniser. I've tried this setup with whammy and boy it was awesome, bass was sooooo synthy and deep.

So is there anything better for that job then a whammy? Behringer uo600 maybe?

I have a hard time recommending a harmonizer that is cheap. My experience has been that they are expensive, or have serious flaws or tracking issues.

The cheapest I know of with good reviews is the whammy, which is monophonic. The harmonizer on the Line6 M series is pretty fair but is also monophonic, but the best by far are on the POG/HOG and the Eventide. Reviews I've seen around here have the Harmony Man with serious tracking issues. Good Luck.

Pog2 and Micro Pogs track like champs.
They are digital. For a more oganic sound the EH Bass Micro Synthn might work too. This one is analog.

That being said, all these pedals are pricey.

Nothing is going to be a cheap as the Behri US 600, but I have never tried it. Most multi effects have a pitch shifter that do a decent job, I use the PS on the Zoom B2/B2.1u all the time and like it and the Digitech BP8 has the original Whammy functions and those can be had cheap.

If you're worried about tracking, your best bet might be the Electroharmonix HOG, which, afaik, uses the same method as the POG and microPOG (digital resampling?), which means it never really misses a note. Also, check out the eventide pitchfactor (here's a video of both http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSRaUZWiIEM)
