Unlock the ethereal beauty of 12-string tones with your 6-string electric or amplified acoustic guitars with the DigiTech Mosaic. This harmonizer & octave effects pedal magically infuses your sound with polyphonic richness, providing an immediate transformation into the world of 12-string guitars. With the independent Level and Tone controls, you can tailor the effect to your liking, from the intensity of the 12-string effect to the overall brightness.

Features and functionality

The Mosaic effectively simulates a 12-string by using octave up and detune, avoiding octaving the B & E strings for a more authentic sound.
Source
0 0

Offers excellent tracking for chords, unlike typical octave pedals, making it suitable for complex chord progressions without unwanted artifacts.
Source
0 0

The Mosaic uniquely mimics the doubled strings of the high E and B strings, which many other octave pedals, like the Micro POG, cannot replicate.
Source
0 0

The Mosaic's soft footswitch may not appeal to those accustomed to a hard click switch, highlighting a preference among some users for tactile feedback.
Source

Comparisons

0 0

Unlike the POG, the Mosaic aims for a natural 12-string tone, making it preferable for those seeking less digital-sounding effects.
Source
0 0

The Boss GP-10, although more expensive, is noted for high-quality 12-string emulations, potentially offering a better alternative for electric 12-string sounds than the Mosaic.
Source

Use cases and applications

0 0

Works best with humbuckers; using it with a Strat or Tele can result in a bright, "icepick" tone unless the tone control is adjusted.
Source
0 0

The Mosaic is favored for surfy 60s leads and occasional chord work, offering a cost-effective alternative to acquiring an actual 12-string instrument.
Source
0 0

Works well with a Vox AC4TV amp and ESP guitar equipped with the EMG Het Set, especially for Byrds covers and "Here Comes the Sun."
Source
0 0

Combining with a Diamond Compressor or TC Hypergravity can enhance live performance, suggesting synergy with certain compressor models for optimal sound.
Source

User experience

0 0

The tone control only affects the 12-string effect, allowing for a blend of harmonies or a full 12-string sound without altering the clean tone.
Source
0 0

Some users report that the Mosaic’s octave up function is limited if seeking more diverse pitch-shifting options compared to other pedals like the EQD Pitch Bay.
Source
0 0

Apartment-friendly on the 1/4 watt setting of a Vox AC4TV, though still considered loud, indicating good pairing for home practice without excessive volume.
Source
0 0

Excessive effect levels can lead to a shrill or fake sound, urging caution with tone and level settings to maintain authenticity.
Source

Value and pricing

0 0

It's possible to find used Mosaics for as low as $35, significantly cheaper than the usual $100, offering great value for the sound quality.
Source

Setup and maintenance

0 0

Some users suggest a professional setup for better intonation, as improper intonation can make 12-string emulations sound out of tune.

75% of the tone of bringing a 12-string, 0% of the fuss

This is for you if you're a gigging musician who needs or likes that 12-string sound here and there but either can't bring a real 12-string to every show or, what's worse, would need a double-neck because you're switching between 6 and 12 mid-song. Pair it with a chorus pedal and you have a decent facsimile of the real thing. The Mosaic is unforgiving of tuning problems, and it will never sound as good as the real thing—obviously. But it tracks near-perfectly and for practicality, it's very hard to beat.

12-String Emulation?

Maybe not quite exactly. But it is pretty awesome. Maybe just buy a 12 string? It does accurately track your 6 strings an octave higher. So it does what it says. I say forget about trying to make it a 12 string. Use is as a cool sound tool in your toolbox or color palate.

It has just enough controls to do a whole lot of cool things, similar to the TC Electronic Vibrato (in a different way). Look into it. Maybe you will find this as cool as I do.

...update: two weeks later. I realized this does as a 12 string does more than I thought. Octaves on 4 of the strings, doubling on the 2 highest strings - as a 12 string would. If you keep the treble down (unlike all of the videos on youtube, you will get that old Rickenbacker guitar through a Vox. ...Ok, no one wants to sound like "the Byrds" or however they spelled it... but a little Tom Petty down in the mix, could be very cool.

It is NOT a 12 string and never will be, but I will move the previous 4 stars to 5 stars as it is the best thing for what it is intended to do. If you want 12 string, get a 12 string. If you want to add some cool lush shit to your sound, this is the best of the crop of boxes out their purely for that attention to the highest 2 strings, which is important. No one needs an octave up on the 2 treble strings, so a straight octave pedal is not the same thing... if you like super high on your treble strings, simply use the octave pedal best one for that is the TC Electronic one),

Useful as long as you manage your expectations.

I'd really like to rate it 3.5 rather than 3 or 4. In a mix with other instruments this device does what it says on the tin for the most part - picked or strummed parts on a 6-string electric or electroacoustic will pass muster for vast majority of listeners. Solo, there is more of a suggestion of artificiality, and by way of a tip - the moment you attempt to pull off a bend the game's up, and the synthetic nature of the tone is revealed.

Don't get me wrong: as long as you take its limitations into account, for adding texture to a mix, and live with a band where you really don't want to lug a 12-string along this is definitely useable.
