Electronic Audio Experiments The Mirror House V2

Mirror House creates two pitch-shifted copies of an incoming signal which veer off into equal and opposite directions. This diametric approach to pitch shifting is capable of weird detuning, disorienting microtonal clusters, chords of parallel harmony, or ugly, strange dissonance. (It can also be a chorus.)

The two pitch voices can be shifted both statically and dynamically, with a selection of ranges and behaviors. Envelope control creates dynamic vibrato, glissando, and divebomb effects as the voices pull apart and return to the center. In Flutter mode, Animate controls a random LFO, for a tastefully off-kilter chorus and vibrato. Detune and Flutter modes each have a static range of a semitone, while Shift mode is quantized up to an octave in both directions. Depending on your harmonic proclivities, this particular array of features is perhaps an invitation, perhaps a provocation.

This pedal was originally developed in collaboration with EAEs friends in the band Pile, and Version 2 is now available as a steady offering in our product catalog. This new version features the new Flutter mode, improved envelope tracking, and a reduced noise floor compared to Version 1.
