Pitch pirate

A pitch pirate is a crazy vibrato.

A vibrato is basically something that takes your signal and modulates it up and down in pitch. It usually has a rate knob, which allows you to control how fast it modulates up and down. It also usually has a depth knob, determining how far away from the original note it will sweep back and forth. The pitch pirate shifts really far, and is mostly for making noise. Here's a link to the product description (naughty words in it), which includes sound samples.

i really love my pitch pirate, it's a crazy chorus and vibrato.

You get 4 controls on it:

Speed
Wave Shape (goes from a harsh one to a smooth one?)
Chorus --> Vibrato blend, goes from chorus at one end and vibrato at the other, with mixtures of both inbetween. (older models have a flick switch for chorus or vibrato)
Depth can get very very crazy

I keep mine in the loop of my Barge Concepts VFB-2, works brilliantly with the feedback loop.

 

Hmmm... they used to have a pretty weak description of the pitch pirate up. It actually sounds a lot more entertaining than I thought initially... it gets close to whole octave "vibrato"... I'm impressed.

(is it bad tht I feel like I'm derailing a thread by posting something related to the original topic?) I mean... yeah, you think you missed your initiation/beating, but watch out for mysticboo... you think your safe, then you meet that billyclub

 

I didn't know there was a hall of fame.

 

it's buried deep in the old Tin Pan Alley (TPA) forum, you need to know the secret handshake to get in.

In seriousness, I just spend part of my valuable free time cleaning this thread down from 3 pages to 6 posts. If any of you see posts that violate tb rules, use 'report post'.

We now return you to your previously scheduled 'pitch pirate' thread...

Stone cold sober, I stand behind that statement. There are some bass samples in this post. There is quite a bit of hiss in the recording, that was from my extemely bad setup at the time and NOT the pedal. It's the only pedal that hasn't moved off my board in the last 6 months.
