Tested, working and with some fresh new electrolytic capacitors to replace the exploding tantalums, this MXR pitch transposer and display are the perfect choice. Comes with footswitch
The MXR MX-129 Pitch Transposer is a rare, vintage rackmount effects unit released in the late 1970s that shifts audio pitch and adds metallic delays.
Key Features and Design
- Touch-Sensitive Controls: Four front-panel preset controls activate and change presets instantly upon skin contact.
- Regeneration and Mix: Features dedicated dry/wet mix and feedback/regeneration knobs to create swirling, atmospheric pitch loops.
- Unique Lo-Fi Character: Early digital-analog hybrid processing gives it a distinct, glitchy, and organic sound rather than clean transparency.
Notable Users
- Stuart Adamson (Big Country): Famous for using the unit to craft signature octave-up chiming guitar lines.
- Trevor Rabin (Yes): Used the processor to shape distinct, soaring lead guitar tones.
- The Edge (U2): Incorporated into early experimental delay and harmonic textures.
