BIGSBY Pedal Features Overview | Part 2 | Gamechanger Audio

collapse expand iconDescription

The Gamechanger Audio Bigsby polyphonic pitch shifting effects pedal is a new take on a traditional tremolo and built with more features than the average Bigsby pedal. Developed by Fender and Bigsby, this pedal can recreate wailing pitch bends that are up to an octave apart and soaring vibratos that truly fill the air.

Smooth, Polyphonic, Real-Time Pitch Shifting

Gamechanger Audio created a unique algorithm to access super-smooth real-time pitch shifting at extremely low intervals. Artisans at Fender and Bigsby worked tirelessly to achieve the natural tone and timbre of the many electric and acoustic instruments it is emulating like guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin and more.

L-Shape Foot Pedal Shifting Control

Gamechanger had to be a huge fan of the traditional Bigsby to create this polyphonic pitch shifting pedal. The stunning L-shape foot pedal’s upward and downward movements control the change in pitch, up to an entire octave. The Gamechanger harnessed a SHARC processor-powered hybrid algorithm, making ultrasmooth transitions between note intervals.

A Truly Unique Expression Pedal

The Bigsby polyphonic pitch shifting pedal comes with a detune parameter that recreates the dissonances and nuances of traditional string-bending for an authentic sound. Players can set their Gamechanger Bigsby pedal to auto mode and enjoy endless, flowing vibratos. Now available at Guitar Center, the Gamechanger Audio Bigsby polyphonic pitch shifting pedal can be yours, for a great price.

    Have you ever wanted the versatility of a bigsby without throwing your guitar out of tune? Do you hate changing strings on a floyd rose? Do you want that tremolo effect on any instrument that isn't equipped with one? If you said yes to any of those questions buy this pedal. It does a bunch of other stuff that I haven't quite figured out yet but even if it didn't this pedal is well worth it.

  • This adds some new tones and pitch shifting.

    This Bigsby Gamechanger is versatile without being overly complicated. There is more to it than just having a Bigsby tremelo on your guitar. The more I used it the better I liked it.

    I see from the instructions that this pedal should go first in the chain just like a wah pedal.  In what ways is this pedal different than a wah pedal?

    A wah is a tone control. This is a pitch shifter. Please give us a call if you would like some help 855-770-3373
