E to D = ED! Makes sense.

Just recently made the jump to Floyd rose. Can't believe all the tech that's involved with it. Really changes the guitar from just an instrument to an extension of myself

"e to d on the fly -- ez as pie," and the credits had me.

Just shared to EVH GEAR TV!

I got on few guitars and its the best thing to get for the drop d tunes on a floyd

I was listening to the interview with you today on Trunk Nation. Still sad. And now I know I can purchase the unit. Thanks.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! Saved me hours!!!

Just installed mine. Works like a charm! Thanks Adam!

Really love to see you do a install of the black/back box. Have one installed and its definitely not 100% still, still needs a quick flick to return to perfect tuning after use of whammy.

I thought you said “eat a D” near the end of the video! 🤘🏼😆🤟🏼 Nice install demo BTW.

I like the little Ratt shout out. :)

would be cool to see a set up with the blackbox stabilizer.

Right on Adam!! Love the D-Tuna!!!

Thanks for the note on the stabilizer because I really want to have the full ability with the tremolo

great vid. thx!

Just had my guitar guy Eddie Carlino (Carlino Guitars) do a swap of EVH Floyd 1000 from a Special into my EVH Standard. He can not get it to push in and engage to drop it D, he said he tried everything. I was told this bridge is perfect working order by the seller, I know that doesn't mean a whole lot. But everyone I've spoken too said he needs to read the short manual for proper adjustments, but Eddie said no, it doesn't work. He also said to contact you Adam and you may have some input on this.....

Great Vid. Very helpful, informative and easy to follow, Thanks Heaps Mate.

Thanks Warren! I'm going to install D tuner and Blackbox stabilizer on my Hamer Diablo 2!

I have the USA EVH Wolfgang Signature 2020 and it's not floating which I prefer Love the D-tuna and no issues using it at all.

good info & well presented 👍🏻 thanks!

Love your videos, Love my EVH gear!!!

Great video and beautiful guitar!!!

Thank you very much.

Thank you for this video. Really big help.

With the drop D tuning was I the only one expecting to hear him bust out some "Unchained"? I was kinda disappointed.

Cool I am getting one.

Could you use two d tuners? One on each e string would let you reach down to double drop d. 😍

Awesome Nice and Easy to understand Video! Thanks

That’s awesome and thank you for this video .. 👍

just fyi. I have a d-tuna on my Frankie (EVH striped series relic) & I float my bridge so that I get a step & 1/2 pull-up on the G string...d-tuna works just fine.

Thanks man!!! Awesome video! :-)

Great Vid!

Ahh Warren.. great guitarist.

It's almost TO easy to install!!

Great Tutorial!!!!!!! Thank you

_"Back in the day",_ when it was time for me to change strings/set up my Kramer, I used to shove a cassette between the body and the Floyd. Those trem stoppers weren't available back then (then again, they're available NOW, and I still don't use one)... When the gentleman says "the easiest way" to prevent your Floyd from rocking, is NOT by using that contraption... you have to be resourceful and figure out a way to shove something behind the guitar, between the trem block and guitar body, OR between the Floyd bridge plate and guitar body... If you go the "cassette" route, use something like a t-shirt, underwear or a Hav-A-Hank to place on the body to prevent you from screwing up the finish... Be resourceful...

I would also mention the first tremolo stabilizer on the market, the Hipshot Trem-Setter. In fairness, while it was the first, installation was a pain, with an invasive and difficult to drill hole between the two spring claw screw holes, but it did work well once properly installed. The newer models mentioned in the video are much easier and less invasive to install, and with comparable final performance. But still, for completeness' sake, I wanted to mention the Trem-Setter. Back in the day, when it was the only one available, I installed one on my 89' Charvel Model 6 and also on my 90' Ibanez Universe, and it worked great in both cases, going to Drop D on the Model 6, and going to Drop A on the Universe, pulling up or pushing down, and still keeping all the other strings in tune. One thing to consider when deciding to install any tremolo stabilizer is that you will lose the ability to do a trem "warble", where you point the bar at the neck or towards the back strap button, and you hit or flick the bar so that the notes flutter in pitch. With a trem stabilizer, the bridge won't free float, and will instead want to clunk back to a fixed spot halfway between pulling the bar up or pushing it down. Conversely though, as the trem is "stabilized", you can firmly rest your hand on the bridge for fixed bridge like tuning stability during palm muting, instead of drifting sharp[. Also..., with a trem stabilizer, you can do Nashville style double stop pedal steel licks, where you hold a note or chord steady in pitch while bending up and/or down one or two strings precisely from one specific note to another specific note, unlike a free floating bridge that if you bend one note up or down, all the other strings will bend in the opposite direction. Basically..., it makes a free floating bridge such as a Floyd, vintage Fender, etc..., act more like a fixed bridge hard tail, but still retaining the ability to pull the strings sharp with the bar, or push the bar down to go flat...

I have a question: Do I have to keep my floyd rose permanently blocked or just when I have to tune and install the D-tuna, and then I can let it float again? I'm sorry for the question but I'm not a native english speaker.

Lighting is soooo much better!

I'm finding I have to turn the side fine tuner screw in so far when in the D tuna is pushed in to E tuning position, it makes it really hard to push and pull the D tuna in and out. No matter how I tune to drop D, when I push the D tuna in for E tuning, it's at least a 1/4 step down and then I have to adjust the side fine tuner quite a bit, which makes it hard to move the D tuna. Doesn't seem like there's anything else to adjust when you tune to drop D initially, as the instructions say. I've even tried to have the Floyd fine tuner pressing down on the screw just a little or not at all.

great video, thanks

Now what happens when your E goes out of tune? Do you need the Allen wrench every time?

Great video Thank You...

I recently bought a Varibrant Deluxe 88 guitar, but I don't know how to lock the tremolo, because it doesn't have a body behind to hold a piece of wood or something and lock the bridge that you recommend doing to lock the Floyd on that specific guitar.

Will the EVH D-Tuna work on a Ibanez Edge Zero 3 ?

Can you install on low E, high E and the B string to have an instant DADGAD tuning???? Please help.

So am I correct to observe that I have to have the tiny Allen wrench every time I need to adjust me low E?

It's such a cool item..but I will never call it a "D-tuna."

Followed the directions perfectly. Does not work. I have a Peavey Wolfgang Deluxe from 1998.

Sounds the same to me. You got screwed! Evh is laughing in heaven! 🤣

Quick question: I think I’m having trouble with my black box. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to set it up to where it’s 2 mm away from the block or the felt should be touching the block. Can anybody shine some light on this? thank you

So I added a D tuna to my Floyd Rose Special and it will only tune from D to E flat (a little beyond it) but not to E. Followed all instructions and I use 10-46 strings. Anyone have any ideas as to why this might be and what to do about it?

Could you install the tremol no and black box together

I got mine to stay in tune, but is it ok for the plate underneath the Floyd to be sitting on the guitar body on the bass side but raised slightly on the treble side? I see it has left a lil scratch in the paint on the bass side where it rest on the body. I had it raised slightly on both sides off the body but it would not stay in tune that way. I appreciate any help you can give me

I have a brand new EVH Wolfgang special. My D Tuna does this weird thing where D will be in tune but E will be slightly sharp. I troubleshooted and the fine tuner screw on the floyd is all the way up, and the fine tuning screw on the d tuna is so loose I’m scared it’ll fall out. I’m pretty certain I’m doing something wrong.

i see that you removed the tension plate from low e side. do you recommend that? If so how and were to remove? And does it make it easier to engage disengage?

SO I have a thin silver metal tabs under all the string lock bolts... do i need to remove this... my dtuna will not go under the fine tuner

Could you install one of these on all of the strings for instant d standard

I wonder if it will work on a sterling by musicman ax4 sube.??

I’m going for the black box

Thank you :)

Can you pull the whammy bar up with the d tuna already installed?

Does it work with a floyd and a non-locking nut?

Why does it come with 2 screws. I lost the small one, Can i use only the large one.??

How does the small set screw actually fine tune the F/R in the "E" position? Thanks

Will the d-tuna work for any Drop tuning or just E to D? I have a 7 string with an Edge pro tremolo tuned to drop F#.

I've got a Japanese Wolf with a factory Dtuna that works amazingly well. But I have another first run Dtuna on a striped relic copy guitar with an OFR that I've never had any luck getting to work. Floyd is flush with the body but it always goes sharp a good 5-6 cents when I clamp the nut down!? Any idea how to correct this? I checked the string tree and the strings appear to be as they should. Not pulling up on the back side of the nut at all. Not sure what else to do. Any chance they've gotten better over the years and I should just try a newer one?

Thanks for posting 👍 very helpful. What is the outtro song at the end of this video? I like it!

When ever I tune at c# in the out position it goes up to E when the dtuna is pushed in. I need some help!

Hey Adam, thanks for another great video. I wanted to ask: is it possible to intonate the low-e string using "the key" while the d-tuna is installed ?

I can’t get mine to go up to E . It does good switching from D to D# though

does it only work on the E string? what if you put D tunas in all of the trem lock?

Do you do a locking nut for Peavey Wolfgang ...it's a gotoh floyd as you'll know I guess ...I've stripped the thread on mine😢

Thanks "Robbin"

Need green version :)

Nice going to order one tommrow! Also what Blades amop are you using? Sounds great.

how do i make the blackbox stabilizer a bit tighter to stabilize my bridge for drop tuninng?

Very good idea and solution even though I don't even like those dropped tunings like D or even C makes it sound very unpleasant and stepping on toes of a bass player.

i'm trying to fine tune the d-tuna piece but i've got the allen screw backed out so much it's about to fall out i think and I still need to tune down a little

Do you have a video with installing the D-Tuna so you can pull up on it with the trem?

Would a Trem-Setter by Hipshot work as a stabilizer as well? Thanks!

d-tuna !

Evh 5150 and evh 78

Your D-tuna seems really smooth. Mine is kind of clunky and doesn't always pull out/in smoothly. Any advice, anyone? I will say for a while I was using the fine tuners before I realized you do not use them on (if that helps). But it looks fine and not bent or anything. Another thing since it's not smooth on occasion when I got to E or D it will go sharp and I have to jiggle it a bit. I don't mind replacing it if there is no easy fix for it. I've had this D-tuna as it came stock with my MIJ EVH WG Special that I bought new around 2010.

So do the other strings not sharpen at all when you flick it to D?

Does anyone know if this works on schecter hellraiser hybrid c1frs floyd rose 1500 series? I used smaller lock screw and when its pushed in it hits the body. I'm also tuned to c# standard. I have no trem setter and i also come up and dive. Thank you

This is nice for standard tuning, but if you want to tune 1/2 down you have to set up from scratch in 1/2 down.

Hi when i engage the D tuner, how come all my other strings go flat? Would appreciate some help. Thanks.

Can you install D Tuners on guitars that have floyds in a cavity/trench? Would it get stuck?? I have an ESP M-II that has its Floyd in a cavity/trench.

Sd frackstson pickup

will the black box act as a stop when working on the guitar??? or would I need both??

Hey Adam, I really don't get the maths behind this... If you set up the device to D, with the bridge against the guitar body, and then go E, the bridge will slightly lean towards the pickups and screw your tuning... Because E requieres more tension than D. It makes more sense to me setting it up while in E, and then go D, so in D (less tension), the bridge can't move back because it's against the body. This would be "safer" IMHO, even when the springs are tight enough to keep E against the body... Super interested on your opinion, cheers!

This may be an obvious question but can d-tunas be fitted to lefties?

So no more dive bombs on the trem if you install this. Hmmm. Sounds like a second FR guitar is in my future.

Can you still tune with the fine tuner on the bridge or do you have to leave that up and just use the Allen wrench ?

Hello nice demo. Is the D-tuna will work on my Floyd rose FRX? Its on my les paul.. thank you

It does not work with the licensed Jackson Floyd Rose…even when with an FU tone Black Box installed. If you have it in tune for one tuning as soon as you use the D tuna, all of the other strings go out of tune of course. The only way it will work with this type of bridge is if the bridge was blocked. So no ups on the Floyd, only downs in this scenario.

Guys I have 2 questions can anyone help me? -can the d tuna move the string from only a half-step? -can I be used on another string the the top e? Say g string to tune like a baritone Thank you in advance 😊

Any advice on a dtuna that's stiff? I get it all in tune but when the dtuna is engaged the low e is always flat,.. I fine tune it and everything else goes out of whack. And the dtuna is stiff as hell

I tuned to Db without engaged, then when I engage it to fine tune it, the tiny set screw loses contact before it can tune down to Eb. Anyone else have this problem, or am I fuggin' it up?
