Hotone Freqlux - Pitch Modulation Pedal

Hotone Freqlux - Pitch Modulation Pedal

The Hotone Freqlux is a powerful stereo pitch modulation pedal built for players who want more than a standard harmoniser or pitch shifter.

With high-quality 32-bit AD/DA conversion, analog dry-through sound, and three independent pitch voices, Freqlux delivers pitch-shifted, harmonised, modulated, and experimental effects in one compact pedal.

Each of the three voices can be configured independently, allowing anything from tight harmonies and subtle detuned width to arpeggiated pitch movement, octave layers, ambient textures, tremolo-style movement, distorted pitch effects, delay trails, and controlled chaos.

Freqlux is designed for guitar, bass, synths, and modern pedalboards, with near-instant tracking and ultra-low latency suitable for live and studio use.

Three Independently Configurable Pitch Voices

The pedal features three independent voices, each with its own controls and processing options. Pitch shifting and harmonising are available within a three-octave range, with additional shaping options such as arpeggiation, tremolo, distortion, modulation, and delay.

• Poly Mode: Polyphonic pitch shifting that preserves chord structure and articulation.
• Key Mode: Set a key and scale for musically intelligent harmonies.
• Detune Mode: Micro pitch offsets for chorus-like width and thickness.
• Mod Mode: Dedicated modulation engine with pitch shifting bypassed.
• ARP Mode: Turn pitch shifting into motion using scale-locked arpeggiated movement.

Flux Pitch Control (Footswitch)

Freqlux includes two footswitch modes: Preset Mode for fast preset changes and Control Mode for real-time pitch control using Flux. Control Mode allows expressive pitch movement including attack, release, and pitch curve control for smooth glides, dramatic drops, or rhythmic arpeggio triggers.

Auto Flux can automatically trigger pitch slides or arpeggios based on playing dynamics.
