the future of pedal steel is here

Introducing the MSA OmniPitch™ Pedal Steel Guitar

A New Era of Pedal Steel Innovation

The MSA OmniPitch™ represents a major evolution in pedal steel guitar design — combining the traditional feel and mechanics players love with cutting-edge digital control technology.

At its core, the OmniPitch retains the proven MSA E9th topside design and changer system, preserving the familiar tone, response, and playing experience of a traditional MSA pedal steel. The breakthrough lies underneath the guitar.

Revolutionary Servo-Controlled Mechanics

Instead of using traditional cross shafts, bell cranks, nylon tuners, and the majority of the mechanical linkage systems, the OmniPitch utilizes military-grade servo motors to activate each string change.

Each servo motor is directly connected to the raise and lower fingers via pull rods, creating an incredibly precise and responsive system with fewer mechanical limitations and dramatically simplified setup adjustments.

Key Advantages:

• No cross rods
• No bell cranks
• No nylon tuners
• Faster setup changes
• Extremely accurate pitch control
• Reduced mechanical complexity

The speed and accuracy of the servo system — combined with high-end Hall Effect sensors in the pedals and knee levers — exceed the performance requirements of pedal steel guitar operation.

Intelligent Digital Control System

At the center of the OmniPitch experience is a fully integrated touchscreen control system mounted on the rear padded deck.

The interface includes:

• WiFi connectivity
• Bluetooth capability
• 9V DC Power access point (Volume Pedal, Stomp box, Tuner, etc.)

From the touchscreen, players can:

• Tune pedals and knee levers
• Instantly modify copedents
• Save and recall multiple setups
• Share configurations with other OmniPitch users
• Make complete setup changes in seconds

An accompanying OmniPitch app for iPhone, tablets, and computers provides the same functionality remotely.

⸻

Instant Copedent Customization

One of the most groundbreaking features of OmniPitch is the ability to completely reconfigure pedal and knee lever assignments almost instantly.

Players can:

• Create up to 20 copedent setups
• Store presets digitally
• Load alternate configurations in seconds
• Share setups online with other users

No tools. No tuning wrench. No mechanical adjustments.

⸻

Accessibility Innovation

OmniPitch also introduces an optional Bluetooth-enabled bar/joystick control system that allows pedal and knee lever functions to be operated with the player’s bar hand.

This creates entirely new possibilities for musicians who may not be able to use traditional foot pedals or knee levers, expanding accessibility within the pedal steel community.

⸻

Built on the MSA Platform

The OmniPitch model includes the premium features already found on modern MSA instruments, including:

• Lfrets
• Aura Lights
• MSA Legend-style pedals and knee levers
• SD10 configuration with 5 pedals and 5 knee levers
• SD12 configuration with 7 pedals and 6 knee levers
