Morpheus DropTune demo www.iheartguitarblog.com

A quick demo of the Morpheus DropTune pitch-dropping pedal, using the main riff from Dream Theater's 'Lie' as an example.

During the time I had the DropTune for review, a firmware update was released, so I was able to try it out both before and after the update. It was pretty cool to be able to hear the product in development like this. Before the update there was a slight muddiness to the notes and a little bit of noticeable latency. After the update the latency was greatly reduced and the notes sounded a little punchier. Heres a little recording I whipped up, using Dream Theaters Lie as an example. Here's what you'll hear after the count-in:

Bar 1: Panned hard left - riff on the B string (no Morpheus)
Bar 2: Panned middle - riff on the E string (Morpheus set to drop 5
semitones, before the firmware upgrade)
Bar 3: Panned hard right - riff onthe E string (Morpheus set to drop 5
semitones, after the firmware upgrade)
Bar 4-8: Panned left - riff on Be string (no Morpheus). Panned right -
riff on E string (Morpheus after firmware upgrade)

Then there's a little solo, still using the Morpheus dropped down 5 semitones.

Dream Theater! Amazing

[0mnis14sh]

Great way to demo this. Same guitar and settings to compare with a seven string for people like me wanting to get some 7 string-type action out of a regular guitar

[bloodydragon556]

Whered yhu get the firmwear update?

[jeserty6]

I HAVE HEARD THIS SONG (Lie - Dream Theater) LIKE 3 TIMES TODAY :OO

[jericho667]

but this firmware update is not available on the site... where di you get it?

[darkrockoracle]

Awesome playing sir. I now know that I will will the Morpheus Drop Tune, thanks for posting.

[DFlynn666]

how did you get the firmware update? I just got my pedal today, and want to see if it needs updated.

[locoberzerker]

I just got one of these and highly endorse it. Now I can finally play all those songs in C and lower tuning that I've never bothered to try because I didn't want to have to re-tune and worry about bad intonation.

[IXSiLeNc3rXI]

yeah thats what i am finding. im hoping it will just take a little adjusting of my distortion pedal.

[bennyvx08]

Yeah.. But with a floyd rose like trem. Tuning the guitar a whole step..Makes the strings a little sloppy ...I was 'ah kinda hoping that I wouldn't have to touch the tuning pecs at all.

But Im still going to buy the pedal ...
