A modern pitch shifter designed for the TonePrint era
The Brainwaves Pitch Shifter follows TC Electronic's philosophy: pedalboard-friendly format, immediate controls, and a studio-quality sound palette thanks to TonePrint. It captures the spirit of legendary pitch effects (octaves, harmonies, expressive bends like whammy), but with a modern approach: more stable polyphony, stereo output, and advanced editing options to tailor the effect to your guitar, tuning, and playing style.
Who is it for, which styles, and in what contexts?
This pedal suits both guitarists who want to thicken a lead with a subtle detune and creative musicians seeking modern textures (ambient, post-rock, electro, prog, pop). In live settings, MASH adds expressive movements without needing a separate expression pedal-perfect for compact pedalboards. In the studio, the precise pitch shifting and stereo output help build wide doubles, clean harmonies, and sharp pitch transitions.
It also works very well integrated into a rig: at the input for whammy- and octave-style effects, or in an effects loop when processing an already preamplified signal, with clean dry signal management thanks to Analog-Dry-Through.

Questions frequently asked
What octave range does the TC Electronic Brainwaves Pitch Shifter offer?
Both voices can be transposed from unison up to two octaves up or down, depending on the selected setting.
Does the MASH footswitch allow creating a whammy effect without an expression pedal?
Pressing the MASH footswitch acts as a continuous controller. It can be assigned via TonePrint to bend depth, mix, or other parameters. This feature allows controlling pitch variations with the foot without a separate expression pedal.
Is the Brainwaves stereo compatible?
Two inputs and two 6.35 mm jack outputs allow stereo operation. The detune mode can thus create a double-tracking style widening effect on a stereo signal.
How to modify the TonePrint sounds on this pedal?
TonePrint editing is compatible with PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android. Advanced parameters and the MASH controller behavior can be customized from the TonePrint editor.
What power supply is needed for this pitch shifter pedal?
A 9 V DC center negative power supply capable of delivering at least 100 mA is required. A 9 V battery can also be used, but it is not included.
