Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine Harmonizer & Pitch Shifter Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine Harmony and Pitch Shifter Pedal Overview
The Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine Harmony and Pitch Shifter Pedal is an advanced tool that combines harmony generation and pitch shifting into one compact device. Perfect for guitarists looking to expand their tonal range, this pedal offers polyphonic harmony and pitch-shifting capabilities with exceptional tracking accuracy. Whether you're playing single notes or full chords, the Intelligent Harmony Machine can seamlessly generate harmonies in all 12 keys. With two primary operating modes—Intelligent Harmony Mode and Polyphonic Override Mode—this pedal provides extensive options for musical creativity, including 11 harmonization settings and a polyphonic pitch shift reminiscent of Electro-Harmonix’s famous Pitch Fork pedal.

Intelligent Harmony Mode for Seamless Harmonies
The standout feature of the Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine is its Intelligent Harmony Mode. This mode delivers diatonic harmonies that are perfectly in tune with your chosen key. What sets it apart from other harmonizers is its ability to track both single notes and entire chords with zero latency. Just select the key you're playing in, and the pedal provides everything from single-note harmonies to complex 2- and 3-part harmonies. The result is as if you’re playing with two additional guitarists, each adding their own harmonic flavor, all perfectly synchronized. The Intelligent Harmony Mode is polyphonic, so you can apply harmonies not only to leads but also to entire chords for a rich and full sound.

11 Harmonization Options for Maximum Creativity
With the Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine, you have access to an impressive array of 11 harmonization options. These range from simple intervals like a 3rd or 5th to more complex combinations such as 3rd up + 7th up or Perfect 5th up + Octave up. These varied options allow you to create harmonies that fit your musical style, whether you're playing rock, jazz, blues, or any other genre. But that’s not all—there are also six additional harmonization settings that offer even more ways to experiment with your tone. With these numerous combinations, you can explore an infinite variety of harmonic possibilities to suit any song or performance.

Polyphonic Override Mode for Pitch Shifting
The Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine also features Polyphonic Override Mode, which turns the pedal into a powerful pitch-shifting tool. This mode offers 11 different pitch-shifting settings, allowing you to add an octave down, octave up, or shift intervals to suit your needs. Whether you want to simulate a baritone guitar, down-tune your guitar for heavier riffs, or create a virtual "capo" at a specific fret, this mode can do it all. The added stereo outputs allow for even more creative possibilities, especially when panning the dry and wet signals to opposite sides for a massive stereo spread.

Momentary Mode for Dynamic Effect Control
For musicians who want more control over the pitch-shifting or harmonizing effect, the Electro-Harmonix Intelligent Harmony Machine includes a Momentary Mode. This mode applies the effect only as long as you press the footswitch, giving you the flexibility to create on-the-fly, dynamic shifts in your sound. Whether you want an instant harmonic burst or a gradual shift, you can adjust the sweep time between your dry signal and the effect using the volume knob. This feature allows you to add dramatic or subtle changes in your performance, offering a versatile tool for live shows and studio work alike.

Easy Setup with Key Selector and Buffered Bypass
The Intelligent Harmony Machine offers an intuitive key selector that gives you access to all 12 keys, making it simple to adapt to different musical situations. The pedal also comes with a buffered bypass, ensuring that your guitar’s signal remains intact when the effect is not in use. The ability to adjust the key and switch between harmonization and pitch-shifting modes makes this pedal highly versatile and easy to integrate into your rig. Whether you're recording or performing, the Intelligent Harmony Machine ensures you have precise control over your harmonies and pitch shifts.
