ALGORITHM

algorithm that was speciﬁcally developed for smooth polyphonic real-time pitch-shifting at low

intervals.

The BIGSBY algorithm has been painstakingly tweaked to preserve the natural timbre and sound

of electric string instruments, including baritone and bass guitars.

It also works beautifully with acoustic instruments, including guitars, mandolins, banjos, etc.

Another key component of the BIGSBY Pedal's sound is the DETUNE parameter, an additional

algorithm designed to emulate the imperfections and dissonant properties of traditional

mechanical string-bending hardware. As a result, the vibrato eﬀects produced by the BIGSBY

Pedal are almost indistinguishable from those of a traditional hardware tremolo arm.

For best results, please make sure that the BIGSBY Pedal is placed at the front of your

signal chain and is receiving the clean output signal from your instrument.

INTERFACE

The unique spring-loaded foot-pedal design opens up a multitude of new ways to incorporate

pitch shifting into your playing.

First of all, the pedal is always "on" - the only thing you need to do to "activate" it is to step on the

foot-pedal.

You will immediately hear a change in pitch, and the white indicator light (the SELECT button) will

change brightness depending on how much pressure you apply to the foot-pedal. As soon as you

let go, the pedal will spring back into position so that your instrument's signal is unaﬀected.

We have made sure that transitions between the DRY and WET (pitched) signals are as smooth as

possible, allowing you to seamlessly incorporate pitch-bends into complex picking patterns as

well as lead and melodic lines.

This opens the door to a world of new strumming patterns, bend combinations and beautiful

lap-steel and slide-inspired licks that cannot be achieved with a regular tremolo system.

We hope you enjoy the powerful BIGSBY Pedal and are able to take full advantage of its

capabilities. May it bring hundreds of hours of inspiration and joy.

The BIGSBY Pedal's central feature is the "L-shaped" foot-pedal.

You can press both ends of the foot-pedal to produce

downward or upward pitch shifts.

The "direction" of the pedal depends on the INVERT

toggle-switch on the pedal's back panel.

When the switch is DOWN, the

pedal will behave as expected -

the long end of the foot-pedal

will produce a pitch-down

eﬀect and the curved end will

pitch the

signal upwards.

When the switch is UP, the direction is reversed - the

long end will pitch the signal up, and the curved end will

drop the pitch down.
