Polyphonic Pitch Arpeggiator
Hello friends, welcome to the first compact effects pedal dedicated to the polyphonic pitch arpeggiator for electric guitar! What does Arpanoid do? The Arpanoid takes everything you play and turns it into an adjustable ascending or descending scale. It has 8 intuitive and expandable modes and works equally well on complex chords as well as simple notes in any key. The Arpanoid has a fully analog dry signal, a fully digital wet signal and true bypass switching. Like all EarthQuaker Devices pedals, this pedal is handcrafted, one by one, in sunny Akron, Ohio.
