Can't wait to place this in my DOD Rubbernecks effects loop

Such a sick demo! I don't get all the negative comments. So much potential for interesting creativity 😍

Definitely getting this!

A low latency polyphonic pitch pedal that can also be used as a capo/droptune is something that a lot of guitarists covet for some time. Yet a review or a company video where we can listen and know the amount of glitch and latency - so we can decide the usability of the pedal - cannot be done. Here’s why: When activating the pitch pedal, the reviewer immediately loses the ability to play chords, this is known as the mono-noodling syndrome and it’s currently being studied by the neurologists at the Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou. It’s also related to latency, if the reviewer accidentally plays two strings simultaneously, the latency on the brain augments immensely leading to pauses of 3 hours or more, fortunately the video editor edits out these deep introspective moments for us. Playing only monophonic phrases on polyphonic pitch pedals is also a matter of sound aesthetics, like those fantastic videos of people reviewing amp and speaker sims through real amps. A dangerous thing, as such redundancy is well known to produce extra ripples in the fabric of space-time. Obviously, audio companies and buyers are already very lucky with reviewers. And the people working for years on audio innovations are surely very grateful for having their hard work showcased so masterfully. Nevertheless I leave here my proposal to do my own reviews for you. Send me your gear and I promise that I’ll review your: - reverb and delay pedals in churches, tunnels and real echo chambers - test speakers and audio interfaces AD/DA with a mp3 of John Cage 4:33 - microphones with…other microphones! (don’t want to bore with technicalities but it’s a mic placed in front of another) - test wireless connections with cables and very expensive multi-fx units in bypass - test synths with prepared piano pieces (I’ll strategically place sheets of paper, dry autumn leaves and other objects on top of the synth…even place a chewing gum between the keys B and C to make it avant-garde) - play cowbell with a guitar pick while using the cowbell to play flute (under strict supervision of Christopher Walken) Looking forward to test your gear :)

TC; please, please, please make a video of a "faux steel" setup, using this and your ambient reverb/delay pedals to mimic pedal and lap steel sounds on a regular electric guitar. Please! :) Fantastisk produkt! Elsker den allerede!

sick guitarist, so want this pedal.

Is there a way to control the speed of the ramp up/down?

I'm looking for a pedal that can do down -19 semitones, down an octave and a fifth. Can these intervals be set with the app? If not, is there any other pedal that does this? Thanks all!

You have to give this to Nick Reinhardt for demo pls!!

oh man, this thing sounds fun! What guitar is he playing on, a Dan Electro of some kind?

Do these take midi via usb? Can't wait to see more videos for this pedal!

Sounds a lot like the Boss PS-6 harmonist. The detune sounds amazing on this though! Great work guys

Get this pedal over to Knobs asap!

Can we use the MASH switch as a simple momentary mode switch ?

3:25 he's trying not to burst out laughing

It's a pretty good pedal. Fun! Inspiring! I've got one, so I know.

How's the polyphonic tracking compared to a Whammy or Pog?

What I would like is Boss PS5 Super Shifter on whammy setting but with delay on it so the octave changes aren’t so quick. If this can do that I’m sold

This pedal sounds amazing! One question, there are only major/perfect intervals?

At 1:52 it sounds like a cat being tortured , the guy is biting his lips to not laugh :)

Nice. Can I use this pedal for drop guitar tune (Eb songs - half step down) and Morello covers (Whammy pedal)?

Not getting the negative feedback. I think this does everything a small $150 pitchshifter possibly could, plus it's stereo, USB editable, and has the unique mash switch.

THAT DETUN WHAAAAAAAAH

Very cute pedal

Why not plugin version? I'm waiting!!!!

Question.....the original pitchfork goes 1, 2, then 4 pitches and skips the 3rd....meaning, if I am in A, and I keep dialing the pitch key up, it will go A#, B, then C#......Will this pedal allow me to hit the 3rd, or C, note that the original pitchfork doesn’t????

What is the difference between this and the TC Electronic Quintessence harmonizer? Also, could this pedal function as a stand alone pitch shifter like the EHX Pitch Fork and Digitech Pitch Shift? I do realize that the Brainwaves pedal is a pitch shifter but could the setting be configured as a “transposer” and if so, how good is the tracking? My entire pedalboard isTC Electronic with the exception of a PitchFork (which is a great pedal) and a SansAmp. If I had a TC electronics pedal could replace the pitchfork I would snatch it up in a heartbeat.....

And now KZfaq presents, "CAVEMEN: The Sensitive Side."

I am looking to play in different tunings with this, is this possible ?

Well I will stay with my Whammy 5. Like psychadelic music, but this is new kind of stuff :D

Is it possible to set the guitar tuning to 1/2 step down with the brainwaves? Can someone explain that to me? TC Electronic said “Yes” in my question but I didn’t think they understood my point.

sounds like my clean playing :-S

can it do the intro to castles made of sand?

Thumbs up here if you watched all 6.5 minutes

Not gonna lie, that was brutal. Wtf

i have the ehx epitom3 i think it's enough :)

So there's none to be had for love nor money. Have you stopped making them already?

When no comment is sufficient.

Oh I'd love to get myself some brainwaves! However, I'm wondering if it's capable of what I'm planning to use it for. Is it possible to create a template in TonePrint Editor which will enable the 'voices' knobs to shift pitch by cents (not by fixed intervals)? I need to be able to bend the pitch in a more 'continous' fashion, and have the option to shift it by less than semitone (preferably all the way up to 24 semitones bend when knob is turned to max)

Great playing. However, since one person is playing and another is tweaking and "mashing", most of the musical results sounded disjointed. It would have been much better to have one person play and operate the pedal... I'm sure one person would be able to come up with riffs that sounded appropriate for each setting and also use the mash footswitch in a musical way. This sounded like one guy jamming and another just trying to show off the pedal's settings.

Am I the only one to be turned on by the knobs?

Bass demo when?

I have no doubt that the pedal is great. But this really wasn't a good demo of this pedal guys! Sorry to say.

Are APRIL FOOL'S jokes starting in February now?

Poor thumb.

Lol @ all the dadrock bluesscale dudes saying it sounds like crap and there are no usable sounds. It sounds very cool and VERY versatile. Although I do worry about the pretty big latency I'm hearing all throughout the demo

What a bad demonstration. I own 8 TC pedals, but this video doesn't make me want that pink box...or is it punk box?

It’s not April 1st, surely this tc having a joke

WTF TC Electronic has lost it !

first

Great demonstration of how many useless sounds you can get. I appreciate the honest demo though!

Love me some TC, but all I got from this video was ‘small pink box that produces largely unusable shit tones’. You can’t love them all I guess.

I'm usually a fan of TC Electronic products but I'm wondering what they were thinking to release this video as a marketing tool for this pedal. It was a terrible demonstration and sounded horrible. Who could have possibly green lighted this at TC Electronic?

Welp...a tool is only as useful as the craftsman is good. Frederik obviously wasn't willing to work with any one setting long enough to put it in a worthwhile composition or jam. Kind of a huge mess for a demonstration. Not doing yourselves favors here.

This video about how stoned hipster trying to get useless sound from this pedal.

This is one of the worst pedal demos I've seen in a while. I'll buy the pedal despite this video, not because of it.

Sounds awful 😱😱😱 very messy, damn...

Hire a musician next time, thank you!

TC E should hire a competent musician who can actually play ! This REALLY suck ass ! As for the pedal, it's an instabuy for me 😀

Worst demo ever

Jeez, I have never heard such horrid sounds coming out of any stompbox. Offkey and unmusical; TCE is practically screaming here: don't buy this! Their marketing strategy might have become too sophisticated for me.
