Programs 41-45 are set up as pitch pedals for dive bomb and bend effects. In each of these, the pitch shifter is in front of the amp.

41 Pdl Octaves

Use the pedal to create outrageous octave sweeps. A/B changes the direction of the sweep (A=octave up, B=octave down). Chorus, delay and reverb are in the effects loop. Check out the Glide parameter in the Soft Row. When it’s Off, the pedal prodcues a chromatic glissando instead of a continuous glide.

42 Pdl 2nds

The pedal gives you whole-step bends. A=bend up. B=bend down.

43 Pdl 2->3 b3->3

The shifted signal is mixed with the dry signal to produce 2-voice harmony. The pedal lets you bend the shifted harmony voice. Use A/B to alternate the basic tuning. A=whole-step bend from major second to major third. B=half-step bend from minor third to major third.

44 Pdl 2->3 3->4

Use A/B to alternate the basic tuning. A=whole-step bend from major second to major third. B=whole-step bend from major third to a fourth.

45 Pdl 4->5 5->6

Use A/B to alternate the basic tuning. A=whole-step bend from a fourth to a fifth. B=whole- step bend from fifth to a sixth.
