Critic Reviews

Mooer Pitch Step pedal: Nice price, but with a sound to match? - gearnews.com

gearnews.com

While the Mooer Pitch Step pedal boasts an attractive price and a compact design, its sound quality remains a point of contention. Though the pedal offers features like fast polyphonic pitch-shifting and customizable parameters, the review urges caution, suggesting that the effectiveness of its pitch-shifting algorithm is still to be determined. Despite Mooer's solid reputation for producing decent effects, the review leaves readers questioning whether it can truly compete with established players like the Digitech Whammy. Ultimately, the Pitch Step could be a budget-friendly option, but potential buyers should weigh their priorities carefully before investing.

It blurs the sound

It blurs the sound. It's difficult to precisely adjust the pitch of the tone change—there are no markings or locking devices, so it's easy to lose the tuning.

Compact and versatile. If it weren't for the two downsides above, it would definitely be my main pedal. I'm even willing to put up with the complex setup, but I don't mind the blurring of the sound.
