Works great in my band for pitch shifting down a half or whole semitone for a few songs. I barely notice any sound degradation at gigs. The only downside is remembering to turn it off before starting the next song. That happens pretty often.

@@chris7gabrielyeah, so you want to play bass. Why don’t you just…play bass? Really…drop g? I listen to a lot of heavy music, and I get tuning down a little, but this shit is out of control. If you need to tune all the way down to A in order for a riff to sound heavy, then the riff sucks. Consider this: The first two Black Sabbath albums are in standard tuning. 43% Burnt by Dillinger Escape Plan…standard tuning. One by Metallica. In fact, For Whom the Bell Tolls is a 1/4 step UP and it’s fucking heavy. Playing telephone line size strings tuned to z doesn’t make something heavy…it makes it dumb and contrived and is trying way too hard. If you tuned down to A and played “mmmbop” by Hanson, it would be lower in register…but it would still suck. Alternately you can play “Black Sabbath” or “Electric Funeral” in regular tuning and it can sound like the atom bomb.

I have just recently started using the Digitech Drop pedal on my board. This is a keeper! For years I have had to bring a guitar tuned to A440, one a half-step down and one tuned to drop C. This affords me the ability to use one guitar for all three. I do have to drop my low string for the drop C songs but that's no problem. I still always bring a backup guitar but I recommend that in any band with any tuning that you use, but this pedal makes life SO much easier with the various tunings that we use and also less time having to switch between guitars. Highly recommended!

I use a Drop on my pedal board and it sounds great for 1 or to semitones (for bass). Any further and you start losing sound integrity. I can work within that limitation. My only problem with it is it doesn't work in conjunction with some other pedals such as a Bass Chorus pedal. When running both it sounds like two out of tune notes. I've switched it around in the chain with no change. So for now, I can't run both together.

Very good video. Just one doubt: In an "extreme" case, with a 6 string guitar if I want to go down to standard A, do you think it would sound better lowering the Drop to 7 semitones (with the guitar previously in standard E) or would it sound more natural/fuller lowering it by itself? 5 semitones with the Drop (in this case with the guitar tuned in standard D)? Thank you so much.

I'm getting back into guitar after a 7 year hiatus from regular playing. This pedal will make life easier. At the moment, it's hard to justify the funds for another guitar when I'd much rather get different speakers... (just got a JCM 2000 tsl with your advice. Cheers for that!) But I'm really not a fan of the T75's in the cab (1960A). I'm not playing much 80's pub rock. But head and cab for 850 clams... Can't grizzle much about that 🤷♂️

The only modeler drop block that works for me is on the quad cortex, it's perfect for a full/half down. My Axe-FxIII sounds good, but randomly would lag. It was crazy noticeable when I played cowboy chords clean, like say Mr Jones or something. I've used the Digitech Drop Pedal for years, and it does darken the tone a bit, but sound great is so easy to use! My 2nd guitar is now just a back-up if my string breaks.

I got one for my 4-string bass. I work in a worship band. The leader has a lower voice. We usually drop songs about 1 or 2 semitones due to his range. Sometimes the song counts on the low E or F, but when we drop it, that's not there for me. Rather than drop tune my bass, I use the momentary switch to occasionally hit that D.

I don't have have a Drop, but I use the Pitch Shift Effects in my HX Stomp to achieve similar results. I like being able to pitch my guitar/s down to Baritone pitch without have to use a 2nd guitar. I think the Drop may have better pitch shifting accuracy than the Stomp. In your experience with pitch shifting pedals, devices, etc., do you think they handle some intervals better than others? I know the Math for converting the pitches is easier for some intervals than others. But, I don't know if it actually makes any real difference regarding accuracy and avoiding weird artifacts in real use, given the advances in pedal technology. Thanks

I use it in my 90's cover band. Two of us have the Drop and another has the Whammy DT. It's so easy. We'll usually go down 1/2 step, never more than 1 whole step, unless we're just goofing around. I will use the octave position for 1 song. It's definitely "good enough" on that song. We can all notice the latency, the three of us that use it can notice/feel it, the rest of the band and the crowds we play for have no idea that our tuning changed. Definitely a useful tool! I wish this pedal had been around when I was in a band that played in drop C.

I own the Whammy DT with the same function...and it's such a great piece of gear. Ok it's not perfect but damn close and enough to play live. It's impressive to see that the Whammy version can hold the detune + the whammy effect without losing track or artefacts. I think the Drop pedal is nice, but it surely miss the midi function of the Whammy version, it's really great to be able to program midi CC to control the pedal in between songs and prevent forgetting to downtune or getting the wrong detune.

Does the latency or pitch correctness suffer with open string chords? My main use would be for cover songs where the guitar normally has multiple open strings. For example, in the Allman Brothers "Melissa", I play E, F#m, G#m, but with the low E, High E, and B open. Some reviews I've heard give the impression that open chords don't work well, so I suspect open chords with "drone" strings would suffer too?

I like to push the plexi channel on my small box with either the tube screamer or the boost pedal and when I have the drop pedal in line, my signal tends to be noisy. Then, when I take the pedal out, the noise is gone. So what I do is I just leave it in front of my pedalboard and plug it in in the beginning input with the songs. I need to tune down and only use it for those songs. Better than having another guitar with a different tuning.

i usually play by ear listening to metal songs on spotify and its really cool. i can use one guitar and just tune down with the pedal, great fun. but like you said below 5 semitones down it start to degrade a bit. that said. if you want to play the doom songs. tune the guitar down to drop d and an octave down using the pedal its finally low enough to play 8 string guitar(on your 6 string) XD its fun XD

I owned that pedal and it drove me bananas… it works great for single note runs but it definitely didn’t sound right clean with chords… give it a few years and I’m sure they will mail it 👍

I've had mine since 2015 and this pedal has saved my life on more than one occasion. Shame that digitech had to go down the way that they did; would love to see an updated version of this.

IIRC, their parent company was bought by another large corporation and they shelved the Digitech brand. The small team of about a dozen or so employees was laid off. Now you only have a fixed number of pedals that are made under the Digitech name. No new pedals and no R&D.

It comes in very handy for sure. But... it depends on what you are playing. If you are just chunking metal riffs, no big deal, but if you are playing leads and higher end stuff, you def notice what we call "tone suck" and lose high end and "bite".
