Description
Mirror House creates two pitch-shifted copies of an incoming signal which veer off into equal and opposite directions. This diametric approach to pitch shifting is capable of weird detuning, disorienting microtonal clusters, chords of parallel harmony, or ugly, strange dissonance. (It can also be a chorus.)
The two pitch voices can be shifted both statically and dynamically, with a selection of ranges and behaviours. Envelope controlled pitch-shifting creates dynamic vibrato, glissando, and divebomb effects as the voices are pulled apart and come back together. In Flutter mode, Animate controls a random LFO, for a tastefully off-kilter chorus and vibrato. Detune and Flutter modes each have a static range of a semitone, while Shift mode is quantized up to an octave in both directions. Depending on your harmonic tendencies, this particular array of features is perhaps an invitation, perhaps a provocation.
This pedal was originally developed in collaboration with our friends in the band Pile, and as of Version 2 is now available as a steady offering. This new version features the new Flutter mode, improved envelope sensitivity, and a reduced noise floor compared to Version 1.
