DigiTech HarmonyMan Inspires Power Metal Bands To Fire Second Lead Guitarists

April 30, 2008
DigiTech HarmonyMan

Utilizing the same technology that made their Vocalist Live so popular, DigiTech injects some MusIQ into a new guitar pitch shifter, the HarmonyMan. It's the first guitar pedal that produces multi-part guitar harmonies on your solos by remembering chords played prior to the solo.

This is big news for friendless Iron Maiden fans everywhere. The Intelligent Pitch Shifting not only uses intuition to provide spot on harmonization. It's signal processing capabilities are ultra clean and low-latency.

A unique key display that updates dynamically helps keep everything in sight. Using a "Circle of Fifths" layout, HarmonyMan puts keys that share lots of notes beside each other. Speaking of keys, Strum Key allows players to just strum in the chord progression and let HarmonyMan figure everything out beforehand. This is especially handy if there are no chords preceding your solo to keep things in pitch.

Independently selectable voicings for each harmony are readily available, too. Options include two intelligent shifting modes, unison / detune, octave up or down and straight chromatic shifts from -12 to +12 semitones plus double octave down.

The musIQ Sidechain Input lets another guitar enter the HarmonyMan's brain to set the key while a lead rips over it, Blind Guardian style. And voice memory allows pre-configuration and storage of different presets, which is undoubtedly handy.

Finally, DigiTech made sure to include some nice little add-ons. A separate Pre-Harmony Distortion Loop allows you to throw your stompbox into the mix while a built-in guitar tuner lets you leave your TU2 at home. Throw it all in an all-metal chassis, and you've got yourself the HarmonyMan.
