  • $\begingroup$ I guess perhaps my expectations are unrealistic in the time domain, all of these time domain based guitar effects have a similar kind of noise buildup when feedback is introduced into the pitch shift $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 31, 2021 at 20:47

    $\begingroup$ I guess I don't quite grok the question. The pitch shifter should be defined as an encapsulated block that itself has some mean delay. Now you can surround that block with feedback and a summing node at the pitch shifter input. Now if you're doing something different than that, you need to explain to us how it's different and why it's done that way. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 1, 2022 at 6:18

    $\begingroup$ pitch shifting with feedback is not an uncommon effect for chorussing guitars and also for a sorta crystal "tinkling" effect. if there is no discontinuity in the mathematics of the variable delay or in the crossfading in the delay line (that time-domain pitch shifters do), and if the audio contains no clicks, I dunno where a click would come from. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 1, 2022 at 6:26
  • $\begingroup$ I voted to close this question because I think what I am hearing is not a true discontinuity but simply the sound of the effect. After listening to demos of similar guitar effects I'm convinced this is simply how it sounds (you may ask, how did I expect it to sound? I think with more 'glissando') $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 4, 2022 at 16:02
