  • Great pedal even though it’s a little pricey
style: Pedal only
the pedal sounds great and is easy to use. I like to practice with all types of music from Muddy Waters to Mötley Crüe. I just play my iTunes through the surroundsound and play along. If it’s Stevie Ray Vaughan you have to tune down a half step. If it’s Mötley Crüe you have to tune down the whole step. This pedal makes it easy. my only complaint is that the SELLER shipped it with no instruction manual and a European plug. The instruction manual is easy enough to download but THE EUROPEAN PLUG IS USELESS BECAUSE I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA. So I had to go down to Best Buy and buy an adapter. If the seller is reading this you owe me $27.11 OR ship me the correct plug adapter. ... show more

  • So close, so easy
style: Pedal only
No, this is not the same as getting thicker strings and tuning down. But, I've played COSM and other things in an effort to not have to maintain a lot of guitars. For a heck of a lot less money and hassle, this pedal suits my needs just fine. It's hard to notice the difference on most moderate tunes. It's even harder to notice once you add some type of overdrive. I found youtube videos really useful when deciding to buy this. Seriously, unless you're playing a Pro gig, you might save yourself a whole lot of time and money with this pedal. My rig is the usual LesPaul, Ibanez, PRS, to pedalboard to Marshalls. ... show more

  • 10/10 will always recommend
style: Pedal only
You get all the bang for every single penny you spend. It's great for adding dynamics to your music. On top of that I'd recommend it for newer bands that don't have the revenue for multiple guitars for multiple tunings. Just a quick tap and you can go from standard down an entire octave. One thing that's really nice is if you want to play in a dropped tuning like say drop E you don't have to deal with the flubby sloppy sound of the loose strings. Wonderful investment for every guitarist ❤️❤️❤️ ... show more

  • Great Value, Great Pedal. Will use it all the time!
style: Pedal only
Okay before I start this review let me tell you a little bit about who I am and what I do as a prefix on what I was looking for in this pedal. Also, it'll help you understand what considerations I've have taken while reviewing. Who I am very quickly: I'm a professional composer. I'm also a producer, mix engineer, and sound designer. I have been playing guitar for over a decade and I used to be active in bands and recorded various types of music. I also worked for an indie record label. These days I won't gig much but I work on writing new pieces and some production projects. Summary for those who do not want to read any further: This pedal is great. It is probably the best drop tuning pedal out there on the market. If you have some need for multiple tunings either because you play in bands that drop tune differently or you want to play along with your favorite bands by yourself at home, then get this pedal. Unless of course you have unlimited money and can afford a guitar for each drop tuning that you want. This pedal has great value for it's price. It is built solid and does exactly what it was made to do. Tone Issues: Unlike previous attempts at building a drop tune pedal, the Digitech Drop does not create an artificial sounding tone. If you change the pitch of your guitar either by detuning your strings, changing your strings entirely and getting it properly set up, or changing the pitch electronically (like through the pedal) you should expect a change in tone. The change in tone can be slight to barely noticeable. However, your tone changes - it's physics. In the past electronic pitch shifting, either up or down, used to create really artificial sounding tone. This applies to any instrument and voice. Nowadays, we have the tech in studios to change pitch without creating an artificial tone. When I engage the pedal, I can tell that the tone has slightly changed but it does not sound unnatural and artificial. Even when playing clean and dropping down to C or B it still doesn't sound unnatural to me. Once you get really low chords will sound muddy but that is expected (I will explain why). When you switch on the pedal, it will be like you suddenly magically have another guitar in your hand with a dropped tuning. The tone will be slightly different than having your strings actually detuned but I doubt anyone other than you will hear the difference. Also, thankfully this pedal is true bypass, I love my guitar's natural tone. Latency: Yes there is very slight latency in this guitar. It's most noticeable when you are playing fast runs. However, it's really a slight latency and you will get used to it quickly. A latency in a pitch shifting device is expected but this is not a nuisance at all. Honestly, you may not even notice it. Switch and Knob: The switch is non latching which make the momentary mode smooth. At first I though that I would like the reassuring sound and feel of a click but the red LED is bright and large enough. Also the knob does not lock, which makes changing the tuning while rolling your foot on the side of it easy. I can imaging this being super useful if you need different drop tunings while playing live. Does it work for Bass/ Is it muddy when it's low: Yes to both. This works on a bass but when you drop a bass down past B it does get a little muddy. Also for guitar open chords will start to sound muddy to if you drop it past C or more. This is because of the physics of sound. Go on a piano and play a C major chord on all of it's octaves, you will notice that chords on the bass notes start sounding muddy. The lowest audible frequency that most people can hear is 20 Hz. The lowest note on a piano is 27.5 Hz (low A). That is pretty close to the lowest possible pitch that most people can hear. The open E string on a bass is about 41Hz. Between 20 Hz and 40 Hz, sound is pretty rumbly. If your bass produced only sine waves for some unnatural reason, it would sound like sub basses in hip hop and dubstep. However, your bass being a physical instrument with acoustic properties does not produce sine waves so it can sound like mud if you drop it an octave. Well why does my bass sound better when I drop A with new strings you ask? Well, you most likely used a thicker string which changed up the acoustic properties of your bass. However, you can adjust with EQ on your bass and amp to try an clear up as much as you can when you drop using this pedal. Other things to consider: If you watch one of Mastodon's rig rundown videos on youtube you will find out that they used to use the Morpheus Drop pedal so that they can play all of their drop tunings without messing up their guitars on tour. My guess is more pros are starting to use drop pedals for purely economic reasons. Sure, they probably have a guitar and a back up for each tuning that they need. But sometimes it's just not practical to carry that around with you on the road. So get yourself a Drop pedal by Digitech. It's better than the Morpheus (obviously). This pedal does not take batteries. ... show more

  • Read this review if you are a bass player
style: Pedal only
I'm a bass player who was growing tired of relearning songs/fingerings when the singer's larynx felt fat (i.e., they wanted to lower the song a step or two to make it easier to sing). I was also looking for a device that could allow me to play as low as B, so I didn't have to bring 5-strings to gigs (I primarily play 4 string). So I'm looking for one of these pitch drop boxes. I could not find a good review of all the options for bass players so I did a three-way comparison between the Digitech Drop, the Mooer Pitch box, and the Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork and I published on you tube. Check that out for full details and sound samples. Summary, the Drop box works pretty well for drops of a few steps down. But beyond, say, a few half-steps down, the drop box would start to mis-track and warble. The mis-track manifests as bloops and blops in the attack of the note. The warble isn't as pronounced as the Mooer, but still annoying. For what this box costs, I was not at all satisfied with the performance for my application and felt other options worked much better. I ended up keeping the EH Pitch-Fork as the best option for me. ... show more
