Paradox Effects Unveils the Vitral

Paradox Effects Unveils the Vitral

The Vitral offers two independent pitch shifters that in combination, produce harmonizing chords within the reverberated blend, creating immediate cinematic pictures.


Paradox Effects reveals its most recent creation –Vitral is a microtonal shimmer reverb, our take on the iconic shimmering effects, expanded beyond the typical octave up. At your call, two independent pitch shifters that in combination, produce harmonizing chords within the reverberated blend, creating immediate cinematic pictures.

The first of them is Centro, which contains three fixed semitones, 5ths, 7ths, and 8ves. The second provides microtonal changes that range from an octave below to an octave up, ready to syntonize ambiances and unique emotional alterations. Take hold of Dimensión to control how the reverb reflections spread within the mix. Sink in a plasma of reflections stretched through time.

Tension, ambush, discomfort, consonance, ecstasy. Create orchestral soundscapes with a few elements, push your body to an astral breach or summon an army of darkness, you tell the story...

The incendiary giant of psychedelic guitar concludes his 21-date world tour this weekend in New York City. In this photo essay, PG’s editorial director reports on the opening date of the sonic architect of Pink Floyd’s historic five-concert run at MSG.

NEW YORK CITY–There’s a low, sustained tone that David Gilmour extracts from his Stratocaster at the beginning of Pink Floyd’s “Sorrow.” It’s the intimidating growl of a robotic tiger­–or, more realistically, a blend of low-string sustain, snarling overdrive from a Big Muff, and delay that saturates the air and seems to expand into every bit of open space. It’s almost overpowering in its intensity, but it is also deeply beautiful.
