MARK COOPER: Hi. I'm Mark Cooper, I'm with Digitech, here to talk about the new HarmonyMan pedal which is kind of a fun pedal. It is the ultimate intelligent harmonizer that uses a technology called musIQ technology. MusIQ technology allows you to be able to play your guitar, it reads the chords, so that you don't have to think about the theory behind what scale I need or what kind of harmony I want. I can set up some intervals and then this thing spins around and it's starting to look for chords, so I start playing some chords...

...and as it looks and it goes green, there it goes. Now it's locked in to the key so I turn on an overdrive pedal and now we turn it on...,

...you got instant harmony. Now that's two-part harmony. Let's go to three-part harmony. Three part harmny allows me to have a note above and below, and so now I got the same idea.

Now it does notes that are actually not in the key so that's also interesting...

...so you can find all kinds of notes that are doing things all the time. So that's one function that the HarmonyMan works, but let's decide maybe I want to create another kind of tone. Here in this case, I'm going to do something where I'm going to create a bass note.

So it tracks quite well and it doesn't flub out, and it doesn't -- you know -- gives you some of the tones that you were expecting. And the last thing about it that it has is that it also has a detuner, which I like quite a bit, so I turn the detuner on...

...and it's thick.

I've got four memory slots that I can, you know, find my favorite sounds, and off I go. It also comes with its own tuner, but here's where it gets a little interesting, Let's say that you are a two-guitar band, and you have a rhythm guitar player and a lead guitarist, and you're looking to do something a little bit different. Well, you can actually run the rhythm guitar player into the side chain. He now starts playing, it immediately picks up his chords, the lead guitar player just turns it on, and it's playing exactly in the key of whatever he's playing. So what's nice about that is that if he starts jumping through different chords and starts doing weird things, it's going to pick it up immediately. That is the HarmonyMan from Digitech.
