Digitech Mosaic Polyphonic 12-String Guitar Effect Pedal

The Digitech Mosaic is a dedicated guitar effects pedal designed to emulate the distinctive, shimmering sound of a 12-string guitar when used with a standard 6-string instrument. It achieves this through advanced polyphonic pitch-shifting technology, analysing each note played and generating an accurate octave-up harmony to create the characteristic doubled-string effect. This allows guitarists to access the lush, chorused textures of a 12-string without needing to own or switch to a second guitar, making it a versatile tool for both studio recording and live performance. The pedal's core technology focuses on delivering extremely fast and accurate polyphonic tracking with minimal latency, ensuring the effect responds naturally and feels integrated with your playing. It features simple, intuitive controls: a Level knob adjusts the intensity and mix of the 12-string effect, while a Tone control tailors the high-frequency response to suit your amplifier and guitar. The unit employs 24-bit analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue conversion for high-fidelity signal processing and includes true bypass switching, which preserves your guitar's original tone when the effect is disengaged. Housed in a compact, robust chassis, it is powered by a standard 9V DC centre-negative power supply. This pedal is particularly well-suited for guitarists looking to expand their tonal palette for specific songs or recording layers, from folk and classic rock to modern ambient textures. Its straightforward setup means you can achieve a convincing 12-string sound quickly by matching the pedal's output level to your guitar and dialling in the tone to complement your amp. The Mosaic offers a practical, space-saving solution for musicians who want the iconic 12-string sound available at the tap of a footswitch, seamlessly fitting into any existing pedalboard setup.
