Korg MIKU STOMP Guitar Vocal Effect Pedal

The Korg MIKU STOMP Guitar Vocal Effect Pedal is one of the most distinctive guitar effects ever created, combining innovative vocal synthesis technology with expressive guitar performance. Designed in collaboration with the iconic virtual singer Hatsune Miku, this compact stompbox transforms your single-note guitar playing into realistic synthesized vocals, allowing Miku to sing in real time as you perform. Whether you're creating unique stage performances, experimental music, viral content, or simply exploring new sonic possibilities, the MIKU STOMP delivers an experience unlike any conventional guitar pedal.

Powered by Korg's advanced eVocaloid™ vocal synthesis technology, the pedal accurately detects the pitch of your guitar and generates expressive vocal sounds that follow your performance. Unlike traditional guitar effects that modify tone, the MIKU STOMP converts your melodies into singing vocals, opening an entirely new world of creative expression for guitarists, producers, composers, and sound designers.

Innovative Vocal Synthesis for Guitarists

The MIKU STOMP uses sophisticated pitch-detection technology to analyze your guitar's single-note performance and instantly generate Hatsune Miku's synthesized voice. Every note you play becomes a vocal phrase, creating performances that blur the boundaries between instrument and vocalist.

The pedal is optimized for clean, monophonic playing, making it ideal for melodic leads, solos, hooks, intros, ambient textures, and experimental soundscapes.

11 Vocal and Lyric Performance Modes

To maximize creative flexibility, the MIKU STOMP includes eleven selectable vocal patterns that offer a variety of singing styles and vocal articulations. These include preset vocal syllables, randomized lyric generation, and user-programmable lyric modes that allow musicians to personalize performances.

• Multiple expressive vocal articulation modes
• Preset lyric patterns for instant creativity
• Random lyric generation for unpredictable performances
• User-programmable lyric modes
• Factory preset lyrics for "Senbonzakura"

Create Your Own Lyrics

One of the MIKU STOMP's most innovative features is support for custom lyric creation through the dedicated iPhone application. Users can enter their own Japanese lyrics (including Hiragana, Katakana, or Romaji), transfer them to the pedal, and perform original vocal phrases directly from their guitar.

The internal user memory supports up to approximately 6,000 characters, making it possible to program complete songs or extended vocal performances.

Designed for Live Performance

Built inside a rugged aluminum die-cast enclosure, the MIKU STOMP is engineered for reliable stage use while featuring exclusive Hatsune Miku artwork that immediately stands out on any pedalboard. Its simple interface allows players to switch between vocal modes quickly during live performances.

The compact footprint integrates easily into existing pedalboards without occupying excessive space.

Simple Guitar Integration

The MIKU STOMP works just like a standard guitar effects pedal. Connect your guitar directly to the pedal, route the output to your amplifier or pedal chain, and begin creating vocal performances instantly. No MIDI pickup, special guitar, or complicated programming is required.

For the most accurate vocal tracking, Korg recommends clean single-note playing with controlled input levels.
