PITCH FORK®+

POLYPHONIC PITCH-SHIFTER/HARMONY PEDAL

Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix PITCH

FORK®+, a fully featured polyphonic pitch-shifter/harmony pedal. The

PITCH FORK®+has two independent pitch shifting engines each capable

of transposing over a +/- 3 octave range and detuning +/- 99 cents. Both

shift voices have their own volume control and a third for a dedicated DRY

level control. There are two output jacks MAIN and AUX. The AUX output

offers multiple routing options. In addition to a standard bypass

footswitch, there is a second footswitch, USER, which can be assigned to

a host of tasks. An input for an expression pedal or control voltage can be

assigned to many of the pedal’s parameters. There is an external foot-

controller input for hands-free control and a large easy to read display.

The PITCH FORK®+ has 100 slots for storing and recalling presets. Ten

factory presets are pre-loaded to help you get familiar with some of the

pedal’s incredible capabilities.

WARNING: Your PITCH FORK®+ comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6VDC /

200mA power supply. The PITCH FORK®+ requires 120mA at 9VDC with a center

negative plug. Using the wrong adaptor or a plug with the wrong polarity may damage

your PITCH FORK®+ and void the warranty.

1. Connect the EHX9.6DC Power Adapter into the 9V jack at the top

of the pedal. Plug the AC Adapter into an AC outlet.

2. Connect your guitar or other instrument to the INPUT jack using

a standard 1/4” instrument cable. Connect the MAIN OUTPUT

jack to your amp with another standard 1/4” instrument cable.

3. If using AUX, also connect the AUX OUTPUT jack to an additional

amp using another standard 1/4” instrument cable.

4. If using an expression pedal, such as the Electro-Harmonix

Expression, connect to the EXP jack with a TRS Cable.

5. If using an external three-button foot controller, such as the

Electro-Harmonix Triple Foot Controller, connect to the EXT jack

with a TRS cable.

Loading a Factory Preset

1. Press the PRESET mode button.

2. Turn the VALUE knob to scroll through factory presets

3. Press VALUE to load the selected blinking preset.

Creating a User Preset

1. Press the PRESET mode button.

desired mix.

7. Press the PRESET button and turn the VALUE encoder to select

an empty preset slot. An empty preset slot will not have a dot in

the lower right corner like the factory presets. Slots 11-100, by

default, are blank from the factory.

8. Press and hold VALUE for two seconds to initiate the saving

process. The saving process is complete when the PRESET LED

stops blinking.

CONNECTIONS

INPUT Jack –Audio input with an impedance of 2.2MΩ.

MAIN OUTPUT Jack –Main audio output with an impedance of 470Ω.

AUX OUTPUT Jack –Auxiliary audio output with an impedance of 470Ω.

EXP Jack –Expression pedal or control voltage (CV) input. The PITCH

FORK®+ allows for an expression pedal to be assigned to a number of

different parameters. See EXP Mode section for more details.

Expression input jack accepts a TRS expression pedal connector or a Tip-

Sleeve 0-5V control voltage input. The expression pedal should ideally use

a 10k potentiometer with linear taper. It must have the wiper connected

to TIP and toe-down connected to RING. Pedals made by some

manufacturers do not conform to this convention and would need a special

cable to swap RING and TIP. Some suggested Expression Pedals: EHX

Expression Pedal, EHX Dual Expression, M-Audio®EX-P, Moog®EP-2 &

EP-3, Roland®EV-5 or Boss®FV-500L.

EXT JACK –TRS input for connecting a generic external foot-controller

such as the EHX Triple Foot Controller or Digitech®FS3X. A foot-controller

has three footswitches: MODE (Tip), UP (Ring) and DOWN (Tip+Ring).

These can be used for changing modes, entering/exiting sub-menus,

loading presets, and scrolling parameter values. Saving presets cannot be

done using an external foot-controller. See the EXT section for more

details.

9V Power Jack –Power input for the EHX 9.6DC 200mA power adapter.

The PITCH FORK®+ uses a 2.1mm center-negative barrel plug and

requires a current rating of at least 120mA at 9VDC.

CONTROLS &DISPLAY

DRY Knob –Controls the volume level of the DRY signal.

SHIFT 1 Knob –Controls the effect volume level of SHIFT 1.

SHIFT 2 Knob –Controls the effect volume level of SHIFT 2.

VALUE Knob –VALUE is a rotary encoder that can rotate continuously in

either direction, and be pushed like a button. VALUE will adjust the

selected mode parameter, enter sub-menus, or save presets to memory.

A press of VALUE enters sub-menus when applicable. Holding VALUE when

in PRESET mode saves a preset.

4-Character Display –The 4-character display shows the current

parameter value or menu setting for the selected mode. The display shows

which option is selected within a mode menu or sub-menu.

When there is a dot in the lower right corner of the display, for example

“

FREQ.

”, this signifies there is a sub-menu that can be entered. Enter a

sub-menu by pressing VALUE or a double-tap of the MODE (Tip) FSW on

an external foot-controller.

BYPASS Footswitch and LED –The BYPASS footswitch toggles

between effect on and buffered bypass. In latch mode, each press and

release of the footswitch toggles between effect and bypass modes. In

Momentary mode, when the footswitch is held down, the glissando effect

is on, when the footswitch is released, the PITCH FORK®+ enters bypass.

The status LED lights when in effect mode or when glissando is active.

USER Footswitch and LED –The USER footswitch’s function is

programmable when the USER mode button is selected. The USER

footswitch works independently from the BYPASS footswitch and has its

own status LED. When the LED is lit, an effect or feature is enabled. When

the USER footswitch LED is off, then the effect or feature is disabled or

not in use.

OVERVIEW OF MODES

The PITCH FORK®+ has eight control modes that are accessed by pressing

one of the eight illuminated buttons. The mode buttons can be used to

exit, go back to previous sub-menus, or back to the main mode menu.

Selecting a different mode button resets the previously selected mode to

its main menu and brings you to the newly pressed mode.

AUX –AUX mode selects which channel is sent to the AUX output jack.

The AUX menu can also select if and how the BYPASS footswitch will affect

the AUX output.

SHIFT 1 & SHIFT 2 –The SHIFT modes select the amount that each

shift engine will transpose the input signal. Each SHIFT mode can be set

to semitones or octaves covering a total range of +/- 3 octaves

Detuning

is also possible in either SHIFT mode.

EXP –EXP mode sets how the expression pedal or control voltage signal

is routed within each of the three sub-menus: FREQ, GLIS, and VOL.

These sub-menus will allow control over pitch, glissando (glide) rate, and

volume for both SHIFT voices and DRY.

USER –USER mode programs the function of the USER footswitch. The

user programmable footswitch can be assigned to control different

parameters or augment features.

X-MOD –X-MOD mode accesses the cross-modulation amount and

SHIFT2+DETUNE2 settings. Cross modulation can be used to create ring

modulation and FM type of effects, while SHIFT2+DETUNE2 adds the

detune amount from SHIFT 2 to its selected SHIFT value.

PRESET –PRESET mode manages loading and saving presets.

LATCH –The LATCH mode controls how the BYPASS footswitch operates.

As on the original Pitch Fork®, the BYPASS footswitch can be set to either

latching or momentary mode.

MODE BUTTON FUNCTIONS

Each Mode button allows for control over its corresponding parameters.

When a Mode button is pressed, it will illuminate, and display its current

selection. You can then use the VALUE knob to scroll values, enter a sub-

menu, or save and load presets.

AUX Mode –In AUX mode, the VALUE knob is used to select the channels

that are sent to the AUX output. The selected channels will not be sent to

the MAIN output with the exception of “ALL.”

▪

–sends the unaffected input signal directly to the AUX output

▪

DRY

–DRY knob channel sent to the AUX output

▪

D+S2

–Both DRY and SHIFT 2 channels are sent to AUX output

–SHIFT 2 channel is sent to AUX output

▪

ALL

–DRY, SHIFT 1 and SHIFT 2 channels are sent to both the

AUX and MAIN outputs

▪

BYPS.

–Press VALUE encoder to enter bypass footswitch sub-

The

BYPS

sub-menu in the AUX mode selects if and how the BYPASS

footswitch affects the AUX output.

▪

BYP.

–Selects if the BYPASS Footswitch applies to AUX

•

–AUX output is toggled between the AUX mode

selection and bypass TYPE via the BYPASS Footswitch.

•

OFF

–BYPASS FSW has no effect on AUX output. AUX

output remains active unless controlled by USER

footswitch.

▪

TYPE.

–Bypass type for AUX Output when BYP is set to ON

•

NORM

–Sends the unaffected INPUT signal directly to

AUX output when AUX is bypassed

•

MUTE

–Mutes AUX Output when AUX is bypassed

SHIFT 1 & 2 Modes –Both SHIFT mode channels are identical. In either

mode, VALUE selects the amount the input signal is transposed. The

VALUE knob scrolls through the available SHIFT mode values, which

covers a total range of +/- three octaves.

Octave

Note: For negative SHIFT values the signal is transposed down from root, -1OC

is an octave below and a detune value of -38c, for example, is 38 cents below the

root.

Selecting detune

(D.) in a SHIFT mode detunes the input signal by an

amount of +/- 99 cents. The detune sub-menu adjusts the amount in one-

cent increments, ranging from 1 to 99.

To set the detune value:

1. Select desired SHIFT mode.

2. Use VALUE to scroll to detune (D.).

3. Press VALUE to enter the detune sub-menu.

4. Turn VALUE to adjust detune in increments of one cent in either

plus or minus amounts.

5. Once the desired detune value is found, exit the detune sub-menu

by pressing any mode button.

Detune can be added to any SHIFT 2 interval by enabling the S2D2 sub-

menu within X-MOD. The detune setting in SHIFT 2’s

menu at the time

that

S2D2.

is enabled will be added to SHIFT 2’s interval setting. For

example, if SHIFT 2 is set to 1OCT and SHIFT 2’s detune is set to +16c,

when S2D2 is ON, SHIFT 2 transposes by a total amount of 1OCT+16c.

This is useful for creating lush detuning sounds between SHIFT channels

1 and 2 when they are set to the same SHIFT mode value.

EXP Mode –The EXP mode menu assigns the expression pedal/control

voltage (CV) signal within each of the three available sub-menus. Use the

VALUE knob to scroll between the FREQ, GLIS, and VOL sub-menus. Press

VALUE to enter the selected sub-menu.

D1X2

and

1XS2

, holding down the footswitch

will behave like a pseudo expression pedal. The crossfade rate for these

modes is set within the RISE and FALL sub-menus under MOME in

LATCH mode. When using one of these five USER modes, the BYPASS

footswitch changes to LATCH mode, even if MOME is currently selected.

When the USER footswitch is assigned to control frequency or volume,

that function is disabled for use with the EXP jack. Also, USER 1XS2 takes

precedence over EXP’s FREQ 1XS2.

▪

AUXO.

–Toggles the AUX Output. Press VALUE to enter the Aux

output control sub-menu. When selected, AUXO takes

precedence over BYPS settings within AUX.

•

–Turn VALUE to choose a preset slot ranging from 1-100.

When the USER footswitch is pressed, preset will jump to and

load the selected slot if a valid preset is selected. Any number of

presets can be chained together. These preset chains can then be

closed to create a loop of presets that are cycled through with

each press of the USER footswitch. See page 10 on how to setup

a preset chain with JUMP.

▪

HOLD

–If momentary (MOME.) is selected in LATCH mode, a

glissando (glide) occurs at a programmed rate when BYPASS is

pressed. When USER is set to HOLD and the USER footswitch is

pressed, during a glissando sweep, the glissando pitch is held at

the point when the USER footswitch was pressed. Releasing the

USER footswitch continues the glissando cycle.

With the USER mode button is set to JUMP, any number of presets can

be chained together. To set up a JUMP preset chain:

1. Press the PRESET button and use the VALUE knob to select the

preset that will start the preset chain.

2. Press the USER mode button and use VALUE to select JUMP.

3. Press VALUE to enter the JUMP sub-menu.

4. Turn VALUE to select the preset that the USER footswitch will

jump to and load.

5. Press PRESET, then press and hold VALUE for 2 seconds to save

the preset.

Important:

Skipping this step will cause the JUMP

selection to revert to its previous value when the preset was

loaded. You must save before pressing the USER footswitch in

the following step.

6. Press the USER footswitch to jump to the next preset in the chain

7. Repeat Steps 2-6 to add more presets to the chain.

8. To close a jump preset chain loop, set the JUMP value for the

preset at the end of the chain to JUMP back to first preset in the

chain set in Step 1.

NOTE: Skip this step if you do not wish to

loop the chain.

X-MOD Mode –Press VALUE to enter cross modulation (X-MOD) and

SHIFT2+DETUNE2 (S2D2) sub-menus. Cross Modulation can be used to

create ring mod and frequency modulation effects. S2D2 adds SHIFT 2’s

detune value to its current SHIFT interval.

▪

1->2.

–Press, then turn VALUE to adjust the amount that SHIFT

1 will modulate SHIFT 2.

•The total range is 0-100 and can lead to subtle and/or

intense modulation timbres. When set to 0, modulation is

disabled.

▪

1<-2.

–Press, then turn VALUE to adjust the amount that SHIFT

2 will modulate SHIFT 1.

•The total range is 0-100 same as

1->2

, and 0 is OFF.

▪

S2D2.

–Press, then turn VALUE to toggle ON/OFF adding SHIFT

2’s detune setting to all SHIFT 2 semitone and octave intervals.

For example, if SHIFT 2 is set to 1OCT and SHIFT 2’s detune menu

is set to +16c, when S2D2 is ON, SHIFT 2 transposes by a total

amount of 1OCT+16c. This is useful for creating lush detuning

sounds between SHIFT channels 1 and 2 when they are set to the

same SHIFT mode value. To adjust the amount of detune applied,

follow instructions for setting detune (

) on page 7.
