DigiTechMosaic Polyphonic 12 String Effect Pedal for Guitars

Excellent product and does its job well

I'm very happy with this pedal. It has a nice clean tone - no howling that one gets, tex from an octave pedal, to simulate a 12-string sound from a 6-string. I have been looking for such a pedal in several years, and since I don not have 2000 pounds + to get the real thing (Rickenbacker), I was very pleased to see a quick test in Guitarist in April this year. My "dreams" had been fulfilled. But as Guitarist says: Roger McGuinn won't leave his Ricky at home for this, but the Mosaic represents a great way to get 12-string sounds.... Lars Ussinger, Denmark

The product was ordered as "Used Like New". Unfortunately it was faulty. The input socket had a bad connection. By applying constant pressure to the jack plug the pedal would work and gave a realistic 12 string guitar sound using a solid bodied electric guitar. As soon as the pressure was released the connection was lost and a buzzing was heard. This particular item was returned as not fit for purpose. Since it was ordered the prices have risen so I will not be ordering a new replacement and I won't risk ordering a "Used Like New" item again.UPDATEI originally gave this item one star because although it was refurbished it had a fault. I returned it to Amazon for a full refund. I subsequently bought another one, new this time, as it was at a good price here on Amazon. To my ears it gives a realistic 12 string guitar sound when used with an electric guitar. I haven't tried it with an electro-acoustic but I have no reason to suspect it will sound any less authentic. It gives the characteristic "jangle" without the associated tuning problems inherent with 12 stringers.

If you want an authentic 12-string guitar sound, you'll need to buy a 12-string guitar. If like me however, you have neither the budget, room nor justification then this might be an acceptable halfway house.It does a reasonable job on my electro-acoustic, but you do need experiment with the settings and the amount of additional delay/ reverb and chorus you add into the FX chain to get what I consider to be a fair approximation of a 12-string sound.It has its uses - especially for a double-tracked guitar when recording and on picked guitar - but it also has its limitations. So long as you're prepared to accept these then you'll be happy, just don't expect a 12-string in a box. I think it's over-priced for what it does but it is still probably the best emulator of its type available.I actually managed to get a much more authentic 12-string sound by editing a doubled guitar track using Melodyne pitch correction software, but that takes considerably more effort.

Couldn't actually try it because power supply only fits european sockets. I contacted supplier who sent me a UK "clip" but it didn't fit the plug.Sadly had to send this back for a refund as they couldn't supply it with UK power connector.

Does create a thicker sound and a really great effect. The controls are effective and the unit sturdy, fun design as well. Price was fair.

I bought this to use with my 3 String cigar box guitar it transforms the sound and makes a warm full rich tone dial up 12 the twelve string effect and it makes my rubbish playing sound good and makes a cheap CBG sound amazing. I love the mosaic and it puts a smile on my face every time I plug it in it is not cheap but then again it is a quality product

I think this unit is a multiple octaver. As such it works very well. Is it exactly like a 12-string? No but when playing with others it is sufficiently close and will the audience know the difference? Probably not.

I purchased, like many others, to address the need for an occasional 12 string acoustic. I expected to be under impressed, but to have something "good enough" . I lined this pedal up with my pre-amp to a Martin 000-18 and tried some fingerpicking. The thumb strum sounded almost like a steel drum kind of sound...definitly "chimey" but almost a little too round. The finger picking "up top" sounded fine... it was just like a loss of mid-high end on the thumb strum. Using a VERY LIGHT (bumble bee) thumb pick, however, REALLY opened it up. With the effect set at about 11 o'clock, the octaves and doubled tones sang out and sounded natural enough. I like how the unit does not change the overall tone of the pre-amp or the guitar...it just puts the 12 string effect on it. Think songs like, Love of my Life. Hotel California, Here Comes The Sun....They sounded great! If I were to hear that sound coming from a 6 string player, I would for sure make a "double take". I haven't tried it with an electric yet.... I may edit the post later, but for now...I like it!

Bonjour,je suis content que ce produit soit enfin disponible, dommage qu'il ne le soit que maintenant.Cela permet vraiment d'avoir le son d'une guitare 12 cordes à partir d'une 6 cordes.Cordialement

Selling my SG double neck as I haven't played it much, but I didn't want to go without a 12 string completely. Although not 100% 12 string replacement, it's value is far beyond the initial thought of replacing a 12 string. You can get such great sounds of of this thing for recording, live, or whatever and the pedal is worth it just for that. Now, add the benefit of not having another guitar to string/maintain/store/upgrade...and of course not having to tune or play an actual 12 string?!?! YES Please! This is my one of my favorite pedals now.

CLEAR MODULATED CHORUSY TONES... DIFFERENT THAN OTHER CHORUS/ MODULATION PEDALS DUE TO THEIR OWN PROPRIETORY DESIGN CIRCUITS WHICH THEY DEVELOPED FOR THE WHAMMY... NICE TO PLAY CLEAN AS WELL AS WITH SUITABLE OD..GOT IT SUPER CHEAP..

Premessa.Nel panorama dell'effettistica per chitarra,prodotti similari non sono molto frequenti.Questo pedale non trae motivo di apprezzamento da parte mia solo perché ha pochi concorrenti,ma per le sue indubbie doti qualitative.Non si tratta di una sorta di chorus come si potrebbe supporre,ma di un simulatore a tutti gli effetti di una chitarra a 12 corde.Prima di acquistarlo l'ho sentito su you tube e devo dire che le aspettative non sono andate deluse.In virtù della robustezza e del suono vintage che e' in grado di esprimere negli accompagnamenti, e non solo mi sento di consigliarlo senza esitazioni.PS.Ah dimenticavo,nella confezione e' compreso l'alimentatore,che la Digitech di solito fornisce raramente.Cio' rende il tutto più appetibile.
