Experience the next evolution in pitch shifting from Electro-Harmonix with the Pico Pitch Fork, delivering the versatile pitch shifting of the original pedal in a compact, Pico-sized chassis. With 10 pitch shifting intervals, 30 pitch shifting options, and a ± 3-octave range, Pico Pitch Fork offers major pitch-shifting power in a compact package.
Three modes are provided on the Pico Pitch Fork Up, Down, and Dual. With Dual, you can use specially paired intervals for unique effects. The pedal features four simple yet powerful controls for shaping your pitch-shifted sound, including Shift, Blend, Volume, and Sweep. The footswitch allows for both momentary and latching operation depending on your performance needs. And with three distinct bypass modes, Digital, Analog Buffered, and Hybrid, you can choose to maintain signal purity, enjoy smooth transitions in and out of effect, or have the best of both worlds. The Pico Pitch Fork includes a 9V power adapter.
Intuitive Controls
Controls on the Pico Pitch Fork are simple and effective. Shift selects the pitch-shift interval. Blend sets the wet/dry blend of the output mix, while Vol adjusts the overall output volume. Sweep controls pitch-bend sweep time when toggling between bypass and effect to create automatic whammy effects.
Pitch Shift Intervals
The Pico Pitch Fork features 10 pitch-shift intervals and three modes of pitch shifting Up, Down, and Dual. Dual mode features specially paired pitch-shift intervals to allow for more musical effects.
Up or Down Mode
- Detune
- Minor Second

- One Octave Up + One Octave Down
- Two Octaves Up + One Octave Down
- Three Octaves Up + One Octave Down
Latching or Momentary Footswitch
The Pico Pitch Fork's footswitch can operate in two modes: Latching and Momentary. Latching turns the effect on with one footswitch press and turns it off with another. Momentary turns the effect on only when the footswitch is being held for instant bursts of pitch-shifting pandemonium.
Bypass Modes
The Pitch Fork features three distinct bypass topologies:
- Digital Bypass (Green): This is the default bypass type. With this setting, your signal is fully digital even in bypass. This bypass type allows for the smoothest transitions between bypass and effect mode, which is most evident during pitch sweeps.
- Analog Bypass (Orange): Here, the bypass signal is analog and buffered. Analog bypass provides the purest, least-colored sound in bypass mode.
- Hybrid Bypass (Red): In this bypass type, when you switch from effect to bypass, your signal is initially digital, but the pedal will seamlessly switch to analog bypass when there's a brief gap in your playing. This allows for a smoother transition from effect to bypass when using pitch sweeps, while allowing your bypass signal to be analog the vast majority of the time.
