Quint Machine : A great sounding and simple octave and 5th generator

Tracking and tone

This is the best sounding polyphonic pitch shifter I've tried. Tracking is as good as it gets. Not flawless, but still as good as or even better than the competition. You can feel a slight latency on the octave down setting, but that is to be expected from digital pitch shifters. An hour of playing when you first set it up lets you get used to it.

The low end added by the octave below feels tight. The tone of the 5th above and the octave above is sweet, not too harsh. I was worried that the octave above will be too squeaky, but it is not. 5 stars for the sound quality.

Controls and features

The controls allow for a fully adjustable mix between the dry signal, 5th above, octave above, and octave down. These controls are basic, but well thought through. 4 stars for the features because this pedal really could benefit from preset switching. After all, you can get a lot out of it.

Build quality

The build quality feels fine. I do not expect it to be a problem. Time will show. For now 5 stars.

Applications

It works really well for everything you might want to use a 3 voice pitch shifter for. From heavy oct/down riffs into distortion to lush clean chords with 5th and octave above riffs.

I highly recommend it if presets are not a must. You will not get better pitch tracking and tone with other pedals.
