lol, there's actually not much difference.

@@anemonaloco tracking can be problematic with violin with a lot of pedals actually.

Thanks so much!

Sure is

June A. Jung Thanks for watching and glad to hear you found ot helpful. Stay tuned and we'll keep them coming!

Electric Violin Shop Once I save up enough, I'm definitely going to get my violin from you all. I'm even thinking about saving enough for a plane ticket as well so I can try some out at your store!

June A. Jung Awesome...and AWESOME! We would love to have you visit. Let us know when the time draws near.

I wonder what she ended up doing

Many thanks!

Boss pedals? They have fantastic reverb and delay pedals. And they have great distortion pedals, too.

No. There are only a few choices. You can go +3, 5, or 7 semitones or -5 or 7. There is a pedal called the Drop pedal that is the opposite of a capo. You could play in Gm and it could drop you to Fm.

Hi! We replied to your email as well, but just for the record, you play through the pedal using signal from your pickup, however, you (and your audience) will at once be hearing the shifted and/or harmonized tone coming from your amp as well as the played notes coming acoustically from your violin. If you're pitch shifting this could be a problem (imaging shifting up a whole step and hearing yourself play a D and the amp put out an E--this would be quite raucous).

Santiago--We haven't tried the Quintessence (yet) but we do carry the TC Ditto loopers and can vouch for their quality and fidelity. There's really no reason the Quintessence shouldn't work well with violin/viola. The Quintessence appears to have many of the same functions as the BOSS PS-6, with the main differences being that the BOSS PS-6 has the Super Bend (10:04), which the TC pedal does not, while the TC pedal harmonizes in all modes, whereas the BOSS pedal is only Major/Minor. If I were you I'd decide whether I'd rather have a 'Super Bend' or the ability to play modal harmonies and let that help guide my decision. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!

oh great! one last question! All the strings of the instrument has to be on 440 or only the A string? Oh! this has autotune or something like that or it sounds the note that are you playing? thanks a lot ! Electric Violin instagram?

No autotune, it tries to harmonize with the pitch you play, which means you must tune the A string to 440 make sure to tune all other strings in reference to A 440Hz. (You also need to play in tune or it will get very confused!) To ensure best performance use a digital tuner. We are at instagram.com/electricviolinshop

:) :) thank you!!!

So if the guitars are tuned 1/2 step below 440, this is where the problems happen? Even if you would set the key on the Harmonist to the appropriate/corresponding key. Another words with the guitar tuned down 1/2 step and playing a song in the key of E,,, would you set the Harmonist to Eb and it would then function properly?

@ T.J. Amendariz The man is left handed so the fiddle/violin goes on he right shoulder, and just the opposite for a right handed player. The man has a left or right handed chin rest but his fiddle/violin is strung up and set up to play left handed ! ! !

Can you provide a link to the video you are referencing? We sell multi-effects processors that don't cost any more than the PS-6 and contain a plethora of different effects, so that may be another option for you. www.electricviolinshop.com/gear-accessories/effects-pedals/multi-effects.html

Okay, yes, the Boss PS-6 harmonist would do the harmonizing that you hear early in the video. He does shift to some other effects later, which the PS-6 itself will not do. For that you will want to combine a harmonizer effect with other pedals or a multi-effects processor. But if you're just interested in the harmony effect then the PS-6 is amazing for the price!

Electric Violin Shop Awesome!! Thanks

em mil Harmonizing is the note you play plus one (or two) other pitches based on your setting. Shifting is just moving your original note to a different pitch level. Make sense?

Electric Violin Shop ooh i see.. i asked like that coz i always set balance in the middle.. so i don't know that they're difference..lol

em mil Yep, that will make a difference. Try with the dry signal all the way off and you'll get the full pitch shift effect. :)

Electric Violin Shop ok thank you..

The other difference is that the Harmonist mode is "intelligent", meaning that it will choose between major and minor thirds (or fourths) based on what key you're in. The pitch shifter just makes a second tone that is the specified number of semitones from your pitch, regardless of key. Example: in the key of D, with a +3 harmony selected, if you play a D, the harmony with be an F#, which is a major third above your note. If you play an F#, the harmony will be an A, which is a minor third above your note. In pitch shifter mode, if you choose +3 semitones, it's going to give you a minor third no matter what key you're in. Does that make sense?

Absolutely. They're actually designed for guitar, so cello voicings are closer to the original design.
