Gamechanger Audio Bigsby Polyphonic Pitch Shifting Guitar Effects Pedal EUC Mint

A Timeless Tremolo Design in a Next-generation Pedal

Produced in partnership with Fender and Bigsby, the Gamechanger Audio Bigsby polyphonic pitch-shifting pedal gives you a new way to enjoy the legendary tremolo system. At first glance, Gamechanger’s love for the traditional Bigsby shines through. A gorgeously crafted L-shape foot pedal evokes the hardware and provides both up and down pitch-shifting control. However, guitarists at Sweetwater have found that this is much more than a standard Bigsby. The pitch-shifting range is adjustable up to a full octave, and a SHARC processor-powered hybrid algorithm provides seamless shifting at low and high intervals. Gamechanger went out of their way to ensure that the Bigsby pedal preserves the natural timbre of electric guitars, baritone guitars, and bass — it even works with acoustic instruments. In addition, the Bigsby pedal includes a detune parameter, which emulates the imperfections and dissonances of a mechanical string-bending system. Add in an auto mode for lush vibrato and the ability to use the Bigsby as a unique expression pedal, and you’ve got one of the coolest pitch-shifting pedals available!

Spring-loaded foot pedal

At the center of the Bigsby pedal is its unique spring-loaded foot pedal, which evokes the chunky arm of the tremolo system from which the pedal gets its name. Incredibly responsive, the foot pedal reacts allows for unprecedented expressiveness from a pitch-shifting pedal. The L-shaped pedal allows you to pitch shift in two directions. In default mode, the long arm pitches down while the short arm pitches up. However, that can be reversed by hitting the rear-panel invert switch. Not only does the Bigbsy pedal’s foot pedal feel great, but it looks amazing on your pedalboard, and it’s certain to snag the attention of pedal-obsessed audience members!

Can your Bigsby do this?

Unlike hardware Bigsby systems, which allow for pitch shifting up to about three semi-tones in either direction, the Bigsby pedal can be configured to shift up and down over a full-octave range with remarkable smoothness. What’s more, you can engage auto mode to transform the Bigsby pedal into a gorgeous vibrato unit. Set the range of the vibrato manually or sync it to an external MIDI clock, which further allows you to split the rate according to 15 beat subdivisions. And if you find a favorite setting, save it to one of Bigsby’s 10 available preset slots for instant recall.

Express yourself

Speaking of additional functions, the Bigsby pedal also doubles as a flexible expression pedal for controlling other effects pedals, hardware synths, and rack gear. You can easily adjust the range of the expression output signal, set the level of the signal when it’s not engaged, and invert the signal for specific applications. Alternatively, connect a standard footswitch to the expression jack to operate the Bigsby pedal in latch mode.

My Story.
If you're not interested, or have heard this already and are just looking for the sale deets - just head to the checkout area. 

I've been playing guitar since I was 11, in and out of so many local bands (I'm sure like many of you) I can't count them all. I have taught neighborhood kids beginning guitar for many years. I had a nice professional career in the studio composing and performing music for TV, radio and film for about 20 years until 2006.

I love everything about guitars and gear - I love the hunt for that special guitar/amp/stomp box/sound and have done a lot of it in the past ten years. Some would call me a ̶h̶o̶a̶r̶d̶e̶r̶ but I prefer "collector".

Up until now.

Why I am selling off EVERYTHING.
In the past couple years, my personal situation has shifted thusly:

• My self-owned career day business has taken pretty large setbacks actually. I won't drag it out or take a political stand here. But I will summarize it like this with two words - "Government" + "Contracts".
  
  Not looking for pity or even empathy, I accept the situation and it's my job to drive sales and get new projects and clients. And believe me, I realize that there are loads of folks who have been hit harder than I have. But as I mentioned, these hits came out nowhere, and have been hard to rebound from so far. You'll see why in a minute here.
  
• Last year, my CPA firm revealed to me that I owe $20,400 in back taxes from 2023's taxes due to various errors (none on their part, naturally) and so, I am now in debt to the IRS and slowly trying to get out of it.
  
• This next one is a bit different and difficult to be jokey about. Between 2018 and 2023 I underwent THREE spinal fusion surgeries. I have titanium in my lower back that has been installed and then relocated three times now. That has had a bit of an impact on my day-to-day mobility. And pain level.
  
• But then, in November, 2024 I had a Grand Mal brain seizure completely out of the blue. That and the corresponding 911 ambulance ride added even more debt.
  
  Well, whatever lesson I was supposed to have learned by that first seizure - apparently I didn't learn it. Between last November and this past October, 2025 I have had FOUR more Grand Mal Brain Seizures, and TWO CTI Mini Strokes, as well as four more ambulance rides to the ER.
  
• BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
  It's now August 2026 and I was just getting a handle on some of the medical things in Spring when I went into the ER with shortness of breath on June 28. Well, it turns out that I HAVE multiple Pulmonary Embolisms in both lungs, and DVT blood clots down both legs. I mean? Can I get a WTF?
  
  So now, in addition to everything else I have to give myself blood thinner injections in the stomach two times a day.
  
  Whew.
  
  I understand that it sounds like I'm laying it on thick, but I will swear on my life that this is exactly what I've been going through with NO embellishment. This is where I'll stop throwing dollar amounts out there. I think you've all been part of the world long enough to know how much money that all represents.

So if I'm not angling for pity sales, why am I telling you all this, and what does it mean to you? Well first up:

• I am selling off as much of my collection as I can bear right now. There are some things which are unique, some things which are rare, and some things that are just great examples of gear you might be looking for in excellent shape.
  
• I'm motivated to sell. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not dying (yet). I can handle letting some of these things sit until they get what $$ is right for them. But on the other hand, I'm trying to start lower than any other similar stuff on Reverb. And if you make an offer, I will legit consider it.
  
• I will need some grace from you. I'll be needing some time to get larger items packed and shipped. In the case of a stomp box, not so much. They will be boxed and shipped the next day. But for things like an amp or guitar, it may take me a few more days to find the right packaging, and to get it picked up etc.

That's kind of it, really. Other than to say that I've got several guitars that are now for sale, a couple amps, and approximately 34 high-end, effects stomp boxes. I will be putting them all up ASAP.
So have at it, and if you have any questions - please ask away.
I appreciate it,

- Scot
