If you have active pickups and play dirty it is actually very good on the first few settings. I use it to get some of those low 8 string notes on my seven here and there. only when you starting getting to like a 5th down does it sound digital my opinion.
@jakbm0000000 First, SPELLING, second, if you have 3-4 tunings, having 1 guitar (or 2) and using this would be much cheaper. But hey, if you've got the money for 3-4 guitars (plus backups), go right ahead.
This is a great pedal, but once you get too low (more than 1 step 1/2) it gets "digital" sounding.
Is this pedal actually sound as good as actual drop tuning the guitar? Is there any drawback? I recently joined a metal band that plays in drop c tuning
@prabowoputra if your using standard 9 gauge strings which is the main gauge string type for most guitars, this pedal is probably better... as you can keep the strings tight and still get a dropped sound ...ive got one of my 9 gauge string guitars in drop c... its sounds ok but the strings are abit jelly like the only way to get a tighter sound is either to buy 10 gauge or 11 gauge strings or use this pedal.
Yes. These pedals are rather cool. BUT! When you play in drop tuning (especially metal) iy just feels different to play with a real downtuned guitar rather than with a pedal. But i understan that if you have a floyd rose it will be annoying to swtch tuning often.
@thatguy1035 what the fuck does being american have to do with anything? dont be a twat dude, without us "lazy americans" blues, rock, punk, solid body guitars, reverb, multitrack recording, none of it would exist! dont hate man, just play
@hydralisk3313 african AMERICANS, rock is a sub genre of the blues AND jazz, a distinctively american made music. and yeah america takes things... and makes them better. Also, the guitar is NOT distinctly spanish, it comes from asian instruments with design influence from the romans. either way, you're just hating on america and lumping us together as uneducated heathens... which shows only your ignorance.
@hydralisk3313 lol you make no fucking sense man, just stop being so butt hurt that america had such a huge influence over the electric guitar and rock. maybe one day your country will invent something, probably not but hey lets not give up hope now hahaha
@Metal. I guesse I can deal with that then. I'd like to play the original Dragon Ball Z theme in drop c tuning. Would probably sound sweet like that. xp
Whaat?? If you want to play something that is 2 half steps down, then this pedal will do wonders for you. When people talk about Drop C or Drop D, that means that your low E string gets down tuned to that specific note, but only that string, the remaining strings stay standard.
@jedimastergarcia87 Basically you tune your guitar up to standard and then you can drop your guitar an entire step for D standard with the pedal. If you want drop D you need to drop your guitar to D using the tuning pegs. Then after your guitar is tuned to drop D you drop the guitar an entire step using the pedal for Drop C tunings
hey all, using this pedal will not affect the guitar's tone??? like if my guitar was in standard tuning and i used it with standard tuning also, then if i turned it off, the sound will sound the same?????
I'd like to see someone do solos high up on the neck while using this. I was able to mimic the DropTune with my RP500, but the really high notes get blended in with the original tuning, making for some really poor results.
@magirecords2004 you don't need a baritone for any tuning if you don't want one. there's a band called the acacia strain that plays some songs in drop f on six string ESPs. all you need are strings the size of telephone wire and an eq boost.
@magirecords2004 you dont need a baritone even if your in drop b ! i have never had any problems with a standard 6 string droppiing to b and iv recorded with it to !
@wilcey thats cos your not ment to put pitch shifting in the FX loop, pitch devices go at the start of the fx chain, infront of he amp, that way they track better
If my guitar are tuned on standard tuning B, can I then also down tuned 8 steps to Tuning F# or something, or is then also already finish at Tuning A?
So if i have my guitar tuned to drop D, this will take me down to say A or B ? And is there a simple on and off switch which won't effect my pedal chain ?
Awesome thanks man ! I might consider buying this, so like you can go down ? but not back up ? you have to switch it off to go all the way back up ? Sounds good to me !
@zupperm half step increments, so yes. if youre in E standard, you can get E, Eb, D, Db, C, B, Bb, and A, if im not mistaken. i thinks its funny it doesnt actually do "drop tuning", it just drops the tuning. they should have named it different
@garciajuan18 no it ain't this is a great pedal for the people who own guitars that have floyd rose they don't have to set up their guitar every time the want to play in a different tuning
@matnrocknroll How exactly does it "rly mess up" the sound? People should be given specifics about what exactly any pedal does to the tone of a guitar. Also bear in mind that any effect pedal will color the tone to some degree. This is part of how guitarists come up with signature tones. If the tone degradation is considered negative (to whatever degree), each individual guitarist will have to decide for themselves whether or not the coloration is worth the effect.
@EnvyInc yes... but this is kinda bad "coloration" if you can name it like that. You defintely can hear how the tone strugles the more down it goes! Like you would stretch an audio file. It just doesn't work for me...if you like it like it... i don't.
@matnrocknroll Tuning a guitar down brings its own challenges. Tone suffers, and the farther down you tune, the larger gauge string you'll have to use to retain proper tension. Intonation suffers as well. I'd also challenge you to find an average concert goer (or music listener for that matter) who would recognize the loss in tone. Guitarists may be tone freaks, but the vast majority of listeners are not.
@matnrocknroll I agree. It's a cool pedal - but the issues with the sound are indeed like using a plugin in pitch shift. Messy..... I'll get one for the studio though !!
I couldnt use mine. I play so quitely that I can hear the sound of my strings, so it's sounds like i'm using an octave pedal. So if you only play at home with low volumes I dont recomend this. Other than that. Its wonderful
That's actually a great idea! You wouldn't have to tune your guitar in the middle of a live cover set, plus no pissing around with a Floyd for tuning down.
A lot of the demos I've seen of this pedal, the lower you drop, the quieter the volume gets. Not planning on using it to drop more than 1 1/2 steps max anyway, but... gotta demo one myself I guess. Pain...
im going to need to watch personal videos because the mic used is horribly muffled, the whole point of watching these vids is to see if i like the way it sounds to buy it
I don't know what people are complaining about as far as Floyd Rose tremolos go. I can change the tuning on my Floyd Rose guitars pretty easily. It is pretty simple once you get the hang of it.
I heard about this pedal, im thinking of getting it since i have a floyd rose. i heard i sound pretty bad if the amps at low volume but fine if your play loud or are on stage or somethin like that.
You cant' tune down easly. Especially if your guitar has floyd rose. You need to change strings if you want to keep string tension (doesnt matter if the guitar is hardtail). For example for standart C, you need at least 0.12 gauge set (try tuning down with 0.09 set and see what happens). Also different gauge strings means different intonation even you may need to adjust the neck. So, jumping between different tunings is not that easy.
The more I hear about this pedal, the more I'd like to check it out. Just the easy of going down a half step, would be nice. No "need" for a second 7 string, just to go half step down for some things. Same for D and C standard tunings. Still leery about it, but I've heard good things from bigger gear snobs than myself. I may just check this puppy out.
then you wouldn't have a guitar you would have a fucking bass noobie. metal is not just "tune as low as you fucking can".sure it's a great piece of gear for people who can afford many guitars to have drop tunes. for me, drop c is the shit
you missed the point he already tunes his guitar low as fuck i was making a joke and i know metals not about tuning you guitar low but i do have to agree that drop c is the bomb
@Slydotcom get thicker strings then... i have had a floyd rose set up with the zakk wylde thick ass strings and was down to drop b so thats no excuse.
it would only be good to use to tune down a 1/2 up to maybe 2 steps down from your original tuning. after that (with my experiance from these things) it starts sounds too fake.
@bob505470 our other guitar player in our band uses one which saves him money spent on other guitars.... he'd snap strings changing tuning the way we need to all the time. We play at least 4 different tunings for our covers and it's really convenient! I'd get one but I personally enjoy having multiple guitars on stage. :)
@bob505470 cept u have to buy new gauge strings to get real low so in the long run you wouldnt save anything if u wanted to switch all the time right?
Now if I could pick and choose which strings I wanted downtuned, then that would be something in which I would be very interested - as it stands I'll think I leave it.
Also was I the only one who noticed a discernible drop in volume as he went further down?
I noticed too! it's a really great idea but i dont think it can quite pull it off. i still would like to try it out for myself tho because for me it would be very usefull because i use a floyd rose tremelo system.
I have a Floyd as well on my no #1 and no#2 seven stringers, that's why I would like to be able to pick the strings for downtuning. Like for instance Drop D where only the 6th string is downtuned or Drop A for the 7th. Then imagine being able to have alternate tunings like DADGAD without fiddling around with the bridge. Now that would be a pedal I could go for.
Notice he doesn't play any high registers in the altered tunings. from my experience with pedals like this you get a really odd tone when playing leads above the 12th fret. Just something to watch out for it your considering this pedal.
i have this pedal, BEST PEDAL EVER! i love how easy it is to use, the only downfall is that at low volumes you can hear your strings, so as long as your amp is louder than your guitar its not a problem
its not for messing around... that would get boring fast.... its VERY practical because you don't have to A) constantly tune your guitar up/down steps, AND you don't have to sacrifice string tension and clarity when playing in super-low tunings like drop c and b...... very practical in my opinion. im gonna go try and get myself one.
Original guitar sound was bad enough that you can't hear how much the pedal sucks tone. Useful tool for the odd song live, but very "digital" sounding, no substitute for retuning and certainly not good enough for recording.
@ViLLZzZz yeah tell me about it.... I've written song in both standard and Drop D tunings and this affects the live setlist when we play with the band...
If you have active pickups and play dirty it is actually very good on the first few settings. I use it to get some of those low 8 string notes on my seven here and there. only when you starting getting to like a 5th down does it sound digital my opinion.

then you wouldn't have a guitar you would have a fucking bass noobie. metal is not just "tune as low as you fucking can".sure it's a great piece of gear for people who can afford many guitars to have drop tunes. for me, drop c is the shit
rikodc2007 1 year ago
you missed the point he already tunes his guitar low as fuck i was making a joke and i know metals not about tuning you guitar low but i do have to agree that drop c is the bomb

@Slydotcom get thicker strings then... i have had a floyd rose set up with the zakk wylde thick ass strings and was down to drop b so thats no excuse.

Pretty cool if you do a lot of tuning changes. Of course just having more guitars would be way cooler.

i like the octave down makes it sound like a bass.
joshmrtn10 1 year ago
it would only be good to use to tune down a 1/2 up to maybe 2 steps down from your original tuning. after that (with my experiance from these things) it starts sounds too fake.

save money and down tune yourself
bob505470 2 years ago
@bob505470 our other guitar player in our band uses one which saves him money spent on other guitars.... he'd snap strings changing tuning the way we need to all the time. We play at least 4 different tunings for our covers and it's really convenient! I'd get one but I personally enjoy having multiple guitars on stage. :)

@bob505470 Not that simple, I have a floyd rose and can't just drop tune

@bob505470 cept u have to buy new gauge strings to get real low so in the long run you wouldnt save anything if u wanted to switch all the time right?

Now if I could pick and choose which strings I wanted downtuned, then that would be something in which I would be very interested - as it stands I'll think I leave it.
Also was I the only one who noticed a discernible drop in volume as he went further down?

I noticed too! it's a really great idea but i dont think it can quite pull it off. i still would like to try it out for myself tho because for me it would be very usefull because i use a floyd rose tremelo system.
megahayven1234 1 year ago
I have a Floyd as well on my no #1 and no#2 seven stringers, that's why I would like to be able to pick the strings for downtuning. Like for instance Drop D where only the 6th string is downtuned or Drop A for the 7th. Then imagine being able to have alternate tunings like DADGAD without fiddling around with the bridge. Now that would be a pedal I could go for.

Notice he doesn't play any high registers in the altered tunings. from my experience with pedals like this you get a really odd tone when playing leads above the 12th fret. Just something to watch out for it your considering this pedal.
Daedalus5150 2 years ago
i have this pedal, BEST PEDAL EVER! i love how easy it is to use, the only downfall is that at low volumes you can hear your strings, so as long as your amp is louder than your guitar its not a problem

seems kinda cool to mess around with but for practicality it just seems kinda stupid IMO
Pooxer 2 years ago
its not for messing around... that would get boring fast.... its VERY practical because you don't have to A) constantly tune your guitar up/down steps, AND you don't have to sacrifice string tension and clarity when playing in super-low tunings like drop c and b...... very practical in my opinion. im gonna go try and get myself one.

Original guitar sound was bad enough that you can't hear how much the pedal sucks tone. Useful tool for the odd song live, but very "digital" sounding, no substitute for retuning and certainly not good enough for recording.

very good for floydrose guitars.

@ViLLZzZz yeah but still if you want drop D you tune manually
Den1sVengeance 2 years ago
yes but it`s very boring to tune every time you wanna play some Children of bodom,And then go back to normal pitch for Metallica.
ViLLZzZz 2 years ago 2
@ViLLZzZz yeah tell me about it.... I've written song in both standard and Drop D tunings and this affects the live setlist when we play with the band...

Wow!!! Best sounding pitchshifter pedal I ever heard. Whammy pedal or other pitchshifters distort strumming chords. This one sound very clearly!
