there’s a slight slight delay when you mix the dry signal completely out, but you only notice it immediately as you sing. it’s not a long enough delay to be audible in the recordings or to the audience, and it will never ever make you sound like you’re coming in behind the beat. it tracks whatever comes into it regardless of tuning, so there’s no ‘autotune jumping’ – you can hit any vocal frequency you feel like and the voice box can do something with it.

now: if you go into to unison+whistle mode, turn the high/low blend all the way low and play with the gender bender, you wind up with ‘tape-manipulated’ chipmunk/monster vocals ala early ween or big dumb face. if you need to sing a third, a fifth or an octave above or below where your voice normally sits you can play with the high, low and octave modes using the same settings (in the first two harmony modes, the high/low knob blends the third and the fifth relative to your input pitch. in octave mode it’s the same idea).

however, im not sure that this pedal is what you’re looking for as the gender bender knob doesn’t change your pitch whatsoever; it only changes the tone of your voice. it’s meant to simulate different lengths of vocal cords, so if you shift it up, your middle c comes out like a child singing middle c. it’s the same note but from a different source, a ‘pound of feathers’ type situation dig? you can isolate a third, a fifth or an octave above or below your input pitch but you can’t shift everything up a semitone or a wholetone. im not sure that’s what youre after, i just want to make sure you understand what it is the gender bender does because it can sound deceiving.

its late and i didnt sleep much last night so i hope you can decipher what im trying to say; if you need clarification on anything just ask and ill try to explain it better in the morning!
