The Eventide PitchFactor is the way to go short of having another person playing harmonies along with you, and even then, the PitchFactor won't make mistakes.

Trust me, I'd love the Pitchfactor, but $300 - $500 for a single effect is too much for me.

I completely agree. You get 10 effects with each Factor Pedal though. Someone made a chorus preset for the TimeFactor and its so good I sold my chorus pedal. My TimeFactor and PitchFactor have replaced everything except my ISP Decimator and possibly two others...I'm still deciding. Anyways, my point is you aren't getting 1 effect with a Factor pedal, you're getting 10, and when manipulated correctly, you start eliminating the need for other pedals on your board. Now keep in mind, I don't really like pedals all that much, I see them as a necessary evil, but these Eventide pedals (and the Strymon pedals, to some extent) are more like rack FX you step on rather than a guitar pedal.

Now, spending $300 on a boutique Fuzz pedal?

I honestly never knew that. Did a bit of reading, and it can apparently be used as an octaver, delay, and as you said, a chorus. It even seems to have an expression pedal so it can be used as a harmonizer. I dig that.

And it's MIDI programmable, too. May look into it more, then.

Quitting the Internet might be a good idea, otherwise I might buy this..

I would think of the PitchFactor as a harmonizer that also has delay, modulation, etc. "Harmonizer" is actually trademarked by Eventide and the PitchFactor is the only Factor pedal to have the word "Harmonizer" in the title. You can use it without an expression pedal but that limits the pedal quite a bit. I'm just starting to mess around with MIDI, but yes, its very MIDI programmable!

I'm cool with either unit, ideally my impulsive pedal collector side wants both. But it seems the Harmony Man is discontinued and the Pitchfactor seems more accesssible in my situation. Once I come across it (hopefully very soon), I'll snag it immediately...

...and hopefully a Boss Slicer and Terra Echo as well.

I don't love pedals all that much which is why I love the Eventide stomp boxes. They are capable of so much and its all really high quality. "They are rack processors you step on!" As for collecting, there actually is some logic in buying multiple Factor pedals. Why? The PitchFactor manual is 51 pages! But once you've learned that, you've passed Eventide 101 and can use the other stomp boxes relatively easily. They sound amazing, they are over engineered and overbuilt, and I love it!

Discontinued in 2008

Reissued in late 2013/early 2014.



And if it's pretty easy to setup the Eventide Pitchfactor with a MIDI-capable amp and a MIDI footcontroller, I wouldn't mind centering my entire rig around one. All I really need is a delay, chorus, and some pitch effects.

Also a plus if expression pedals work via MIDI with the Pitchfactor.

 

[Dayviewer]

This doesn't exist, just photoshopped it, but one day, one, friggin', day, I WILL own this thing (7 strings though, was too lazy to photoshop the extra one )

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Been listening to Celtic Frost and Triptykon. Now I lust for an Iceman, specifically, the IC350.

With a couple of upgrades.

Or

Unsure if I'd go for the B&B L500XL, Dimarzio X2n, or DiMarzio D-Activator X (maybe even the PAF Pro) if I wanted a classic death/thrash metal guitar for drop B/C# tuning.
