Frequently Asked Questions - Crystals EVENTIDE
What is the Eventide Crystals pedal?
The Eventide Crystals is a guitar effects pedal that combines shimmer reverb and pitch shifting to create ethereal, crystal-like soundscapes. It is based on the acclaimed H9 algorithm and offers intuitive manual controls.
How do I power the Crystals pedal?
The pedal requires a 9V DC power supply with center negative polarity and a current draw of at least 150 mA. Use a dedicated adapter or a power bus; do not use an unregulated power source.
Does the Crystals pedal have true bypass?
Yes, the pedal features true bypass, ensuring that your guitar's tone remains unaffected when the effect is switched off.
Can I use the Crystals pedal with a bass guitar?
Absolutely. The full-range audio path accommodates bass frequencies, and the shimmer effect can add an ambient dimension to bass lines.
How do I create a shimmer effect?
Set the Mix control to blend dry and wet signals, increase Shift/Pitch to add octave intervals, and adjust Decay for a longer reverb tail. Experiment with Feedback for more harmonics.
What are the controls on the Crystals pedal?
The controls include Mix, Pitch, Shift, Feedback, and Decay. Together they shape the reverb tone and pitch-shifted harmonics.
What is the difference between Pitch and Shift controls?
Pitch sets the interval (e.g., octave up) of the hidden detune or shift, while Shift may control the amount of pitch change or detune. Refer to the panel graphics for exact function; typically one controls interval and the other controls blend.
Can I connect the Crystals pedal to a computer for firmware updates?
The manual controls do not require firmware; the pedal is plug-and-play. There is no USB port for direct computer connection.
How should I clean and maintain the pedal?
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the enclosure away from the jacks and switches. Avoid moisture and solvents; check the power supply periodically for damage.
Does the Crystals pedal come with a power supply?
Typically, the Crystals pedal is sold without an adapter to reduce cost. Many guitarists use a standard 9V pedal power supply or a board power unit that supplies the required current.
