+Fairy Sea Rat or just someone who plays in multiple drop tunings. like sometimes i play songs in drop d. other times i want to play songs that are in drop b. or whatever :P
A bunch of their newer songs are in Drop B/A# and they use this pedal for thoses cases, their guitars/basses are always tuned in drop c. Check the video Rig Rundown - August Burns Red.
Your truss rod is setup to counteract a specific amount of string tension. Whenever you change string gauges or regularly switch between tunings (especially of you drop the tuning really low), your truss road is pulling too hard on your neck and you could end up with a bowed neck. If you decide to adjust the truss rod to the new strong tension, you'll have to setup your intonation, bridge etc. all over again. Why go through all that drama when you can just get one of these babies?
I first discovered this pedal 5 or 6 months ago, it'll change my life forever. I can just use 9's on all my guitars now, and just use this pedal to drop tune. SO GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well ofc i could get higher gauge strings if i'm going for lower tuning. But the problem is that i change tunings a lot and i only own one guitar. So changing strings isn't an option everytime i tune up or down (that would be more expensive than this pedal in the long run :D). Obviously for recording and live gigs i wouldn't use this pedal. But just for playing at home.
nice can i ask from which tuning to which? i love having my guitars in std tuning. i could go drop d with no problem. but my new band plays in drop b, i wonder if it tracks well 3 1/2 tons down thx
@@DavisThe8th I tune to to drop d and then use the pedal to go to drop c#, drop c, drop b and so on up until drop g. Then there is the octave section which tunes my guitar to double drop d. So to answer your question, drop b can be accessible with this pedal if you did tune to drop d on the guitar itself.
Drop G# has always been one of my favorite tunings. My 7 string is tuned drop G# and i use the pitch shifter on my Mustang 3 to downtune. This pedal looks good for anyone who doesn't have a built in pitch shifter.
For the price, I bought the Whammy DT. For something like 50$ more you've got drop tune, drop tune reverse (you can tune the guitar up!), whammy and harmonizer..... Does it worth some dollars more? Yes it does !!!!! :)
Which one are u talking about?? cause this pedal is like 175, than the digitech 5 which is 200 than the digi dt which is 300. I think your talking about the 300 correct?
If Digitech keeps it up, they'll be leading the market. Polara, Obscura, Mosaic, Trio, and now the Drop... wow. Love the boutique style enclosures too. The Boss rip offs were getting a bit tired looking.
Sadistic Soul It depends a lot on hiw different the tunings are and if you are changing string diameter. No matter how long it takes it is something I hated so much I got mutliple guitars to avoid.
Crimson Ghost same here man thats why i got my jackson seven string i can change tuning in a min or two. im thinking about getting new pick ups for it any suggestions?
Sadistic Soul Sweet! I'm a big Jackson fan. I have a couple pickup suggestions but in all honesty there are so many that are good there is no real wrong answer. I have been playing Duncan JBs for 18 years but I just got a new guitar with EMG 81/89 with coil split. The EMGs are really compressed but it helps my soloing sound more even. I have a hand that is partially paralyzed so I like this. I am really wanting to get Duncan Livewires because they have the frequency response of the Duncan JB that I love plus the benefit of being active. The EMG seems to cut too much bottom for me.
I have the Whammy pedal with the DT pedal on it. Absolutely amazing. Saves from having to constantly retune and having heaps of guitars in different tunings, using different string gauges etc.
Finally......a drop pedal that doesn't kill the tone. I saw this pedal in your 13 guitar demo and thought the tone was good there too...keep up the demos! Great presentation.
The reason that this a great buy for a live setup is that 1. There is no time delays in between songs that require different tunings due to guitar switches. 2. You don't have to take multiple guitars to practice or gigs. 3. If you only have one guitar, you won't have to setup your guitar every time you want to play different songs with different tunings, especially if you have a floating trem system
Hi mate do you really like this pedal as I can't understand why, I've tried it twice the first time it sounded good at first but there was to much latency and it sounded robotic, i sent it back a year later somebody told me they had been working on it and sounded much better It didn't, I wished it did but i'll just have to carry my 3 guitars with me. sounds good on you tube but not for real i couldn't go out and play with a bad sound
@@rocksteady7546 i wouldn't record with it, but for a live situation or putting a demo together or just recording ideas, it's much easier. I only notice latency once it goes a fifth down or below
I got the whammy Dt and it is amazing. The drop feature on it is way better than the normal drop pedal. Being able to tune up is great, pretty much use it like a capo.
Really dig this pedal. I think I played every RAGTM riff I know on the dual tone setting for hours right out of the box. A mainstay on my board. Looking forward to the new nano pog also. Great vid Fluff!
A little wonder. A great review as always! The problem for me if i play low i go crazy because i hear 2 different tones. A great pedal for little money.
Okay, two things. First thing: That's my most favourite tone I've heard from your channel, hands down. And number two, where the fuck do I buy one of these? Holy shit I dig!
Thanks for this demo. Received the pedal today and tried it....Success !!! don't need to bring a spare bass or to change my tuning on stage all the time!!!!! Thanks you for your advice. I can feel the latency, not a huge one, I barely see a difference between the attacks of the original signal and the droped one on the waveforms when recording. However, my fingers sensitivity doesn't precisely match with the sound pressure i get even when playing on an amp...not a big deal until you play fast notes. Yeah, the pedal does affect the tone, really frightening at the beginning, I was scared of crazy artifacts and stretch noises....Recorded a few things, tweaked my eq's and comp to get as close as my usual sound. Tone remains kind of slightly distorted but it's very very hardly noticable and in a pleasing way, I got more sustain, notes are losing cleanliness but go longer. It's quite hard to understand what's going on since the simple fact of pitching affect the tone by itself. Haven't analysed the results with a spectrum yet but I recommend this pedal for sure. I'm really happy of this product and no one could ever tell if you use it.
I remember when I had this pedal, and I agree with everything you said, except for tone (I'm not sure if it was just the pedal, but it got progressively muddled the lower I went), but that was it. Great video, man, keep up the good work!
I bought one of these and I like it. However, for any guitarist that is going to use this more than 5 semitones lower, get an abby box and run your guitar to your amp but also run a second line to a bass amp on clean. This really brings out your lower tones. Especially in a live situation.
Gday Fluff! Thanks for the demo, the pedal sounds killer! But I would love to hear a comparison of this pedal taking a standard tuning down to, say drop B vs a guitar actually tuned to drop B?
@@DavisThe8th 6 years later…I’ll say it prob wouldn’t do a drop that big without a bit of tone change. Nothing wild but noticeable ya know? If it’s a half step or two it’s golden 🤙🏻
I got the Whammy DT which has this pedal built in and it's amazing! Works really well with doing covers during band practices etc, such a perfect pedal
Thank u mate...i wanted to order from custom shop a Bariton guitar but why? If i have Baritone then i have to stay in low tunings only and im gonna forget about E, D, C, C#...now I'm gonna buy this baby and order a regular scale floydrose V 😂 Thank u. You earned new subsc \m/
Wow Fluff, you demo'd this really good, and I'm really impressed. Other demos of this pedal make it sound extremely flubby, you know, that typical high roll off on generic pitch shifters when pitching down. One of the biggest things to consider in a pitch shifter is the formant/timbre preservation, something that a lot of modern professional plugin pitch shifters have, and some hardware shifters as well. It really helps make the pitch shifting sound natural and keeps it from sounding muddy.
Lemmy Koopa from your experience which pitch shifter pedal would be the best? I have a mooer pitch box but it fucks up the timbre a while but they add a latency.
Victor Ouriques Morpeus sounded the best to me. Sounded the most natural. Drop pedal is probably the second best, but the timbre still sounds a bit flubby when you pitch down. Pitch shifters will always add latency. It needs headroom to figure out how to splice and edit the waveform properly.
Okay so you started in drop c# tuning and turning the pedal on setting 1 dropped you to C. So if my guitar is already in drop C Inturn on pedal and it drops to B?
@@joshuastromer9572 paying 150$++ for an effect might change approach to a capo.... Why bother at all, just tune -8 and go with a capo - you know what am I trying to say here? :)
looking for that kind of pedal for a while, and finally yes! gotta get one, thanks to you for taking it under test and review, cheers! ps. greetings from finland!
Oh man, this is amazing. And reading the comments to find out that bands that i enjoy use it to perform live and change the tuning gives it even more hype. Reeeeeeaaally want one! And the Ricochet too :)
jeez that Rev Generator blasts! Sounds like it was spawned from an orgy between Mesa(Road King), Peavey(5150/6505+), Evh(5150 III) and diamond(nitrox) with a bit of Marshall(TSL 100/ mode 4)
To be really conviced I think I would need a video of the drop pedal vs actual tuning/new strings changing but it would be a real pain to do it... Thx for this video !
We need to revolutionise this pedal and make it better than ever, because if You are a musician like Me, then You can definitely point out the sound that sounds like a flappy rubber band going at 120kps kind of sound!
Thanks for showing the tunning the guitar is when you change modes. That really helped me massively. I play Drop D on my evertune and want a pedal that I can change it to Drop C or C - Sharp for Paramore songs etc.
Why isn't this midi capable!?!?! Perfect solution if you blow your cash on quality gear with limited guitars. Also, midi would be great for a cover band that has a DEEP catalog. This thing rocks for guys like me who love low tunings and have always loved the tightness of fat strings but have to scale down due to CT or other nerve issues. Mike Einziger from Incubus might want to have a look at this, given his CT issues. Much love Fluff! Keep up the good work! TIM PS.... Thanks for bringing back FAQ Mondays. It really brightens my day.8D
Dang it, man! You're costing me too much money! First you convinced me to try some cleartones, then I had to grab a Drop pedal! Seriously, though. Nice reviews and videos! You've sparked my interest in picking up my guitar again, getting some better gear without breaking the bank, and giving it another go.
For my tribute band, I was going to need 5 guitars (I have 2) and I thought there must be another way....bam. This thing is like what Napster was to the music industry in the 2000s. Guitar manufacturers are going to be put out of business with this thing
For the sake of clarification: these tunings ARE NOT "drop D", "drop C" and so on, just like standard tuning is not "drop E"... the "drop D" tuning is the standard E with the low E tuned a whole step down. So what you are doing is to tune down all 6 strings, so you don't have a "drop D", you simply have "D tuning", or a whole step below.
Don't act like a smartass, he's tuned in Drop C# (C#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D# so we're clear) at the beginning, then with the pedal he goes down to Drop B, Drop A, etc
I joined a band with a set list that's all over the place and I have one lock-nut 7 string - I bought one of these last week and haven't stopped laughing. There isn't anything they can throw at me now I can't tackle. I'll most likely pick up at least one more as a back-up. I can't imagine not having this, now.
I really liked this video. Extremely helpful for me. Thank you very much. And you mention it works well with bass guitar too! My bassist in my future dream band will be very happy 😉 😊. Not to mention the guitarists too. I wrote music. One of the songs was written in drop D. Needs to be played in Drop G for the vocalist (me). Also very helpful that you played straight from guitar to pedal to amp. Helps me to reproduce your amazing sound. And you even mention the pickup your playing on. Nice 👍
dude i just had this riff pop up in my head, i started searching and i knew it was you, i just didnt know which video, but i found it. i know. so random. but its crazy how random our mind is sometimes. lmao
If anyone else decides to demo this pedal (as so many have already), please, PLEASE put in some nice clean sounds and picking through various clean-sounding chord change-ups. Virtually every video reviewing it on YT are just bashing away with distorted and overdriven stuff. To really hear the ability to track, one needs to assess cleaner-sounding stuff.

Your are not wrong it’s 2020 and I’m in need for this pedal

I honestly never thought of that. That’s brilliant. I just thought about eliminating the need of having multiple guitars with multiple setups :D

yes

+Fairy Sea Rat or just someone who plays in multiple drop tunings. like sometimes i play songs in drop d. other times i want to play songs that are in drop b. or whatever :P
i wanna play sabbath and then i wanna play chevelle and august burns red this is really a life saver
you dont need to drop tune or have a bazillion strings to be heavy nor duhjent IMO.
This is probably the best demo of this pedal on TH-cam. I'm amazed at how well this pedal tracks!
You tracked songs with this pedal? Was their latency with plugins?
@@whome806 I think he just means tracking the notes as you play i.e. no noticeable latency
Absolutely agreed
August Burns red uses them live to go from drop C to drop B. That's how well they hold up.
Bradley S any song in particular
A bunch of their newer songs are in Drop B/A# and they use this pedal for thoses cases, their guitars/basses are always tuned in drop c. Check the video Rig Rundown - August Burns Red.
I Think Parkway Drive should problaby do this as their songs are in B and A# just a semitome difference
So as As I Lay Dying as they have songs in Eb, D, Db and C, this would be better then simply play everything in C
Soulfly does the same thing to go from b standard to a standard

SATVRN’S MXXN lmao why would they make that big of a difference
Who in titties are Crescent Mirage? Not even a song on youtube lol
Back in my day... we had to tune our guitars.
Try to do that with a floyd-rose, then tell me about your tuning...
Or play in two bands, in one using E-tuning and in another band using B-tuning, but having only one guitar...
And have floppy tension on your strings and constantly go out of tune? No thanks.
good thing that those days are over it would be such a pain in the ass to retune a floyd all the time just to practice some shit
Your truss rod is setup to counteract a specific amount of string tension. Whenever you change string gauges or regularly switch between tunings (especially of you drop the tuning really low), your truss road is pulling too hard on your neck and you could end up with a bowed neck.

Now use with a 8 strings guitar just for fun xD
lets use a tenstring guitar tuned to g# octave down standart and then octave down
= lyfe
*buildings collapse*
Me: *Thinks of CAFO By Animals As leaders*
@Can Cer hahaha could you imagine, dropping it a full octave xD the first 10 strings would be lower than a drop tuned bass.
My aren't you looking clean cut today!
I didn't expect to see you here
+Spoder Man i didnt expect you either
I first discovered this pedal 5 or 6 months ago, it'll change my life forever.
I can just use 9's on all my guitars now, and just use this pedal to drop tune. SO GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
And finally tight strings on lower tunings. My guitar has 24.75" scale, so strings get pretty loose at C standard and below (52 to 10 string set).
WayZHC use 12-60 D'addario nickel wounds for C standard on 24.75 :)
Psyfonify or cleartones. Those have heavy cores so they're the best for drop tuning, more tension at a lower gauge
Well ofc i could get higher gauge strings if i'm going for lower tuning. But the problem is that i change tunings a lot and i only own one guitar. So changing strings isn't an option everytime i tune up or down (that would be more expensive than this pedal in the long run :D). Obviously for recording and live gigs i wouldn't use this pedal.

Maxwell Hoffman huh? whered you get that from? i didn't know that was possible.
I've had this pedal for over a year now and it is one of the best things I have ever used in my life. 10/10 👍
Can the pedal make a guitar that is tuned a half step down sound like standard tuning? Looks like it only goes down?
@@jasoncrambone4898 Yes someone pretty please answer this
This one only goes down. Check out the digitech whammy DT that goes both ways

He looks like he just crapped his pants.
***** He did say once that drop C# tuning is his favorite tuning to use
with the octave i said: holly cow, i can record guitar like a bass with that!
For a channel called riffs beards and gear, there not a lot of beard material.
You could use this to change tunings in the middle of a song, which could be very interesting.
Zachary Harden This is basically what the band Twelve Foot Ninja does, but they use something else from Line 6 I'm pretty sure.
@@augustcampbell2375 TFN use Variax/Shuriken Guitars.
Check out 12 foot Ninja. They do it a tone but with variax

We need to revolutionise this pedal and make it better than ever, because if You are a musician like Me, then You can definitely point out the sound that sounds like a flappy rubber band going at 120kps kind of sound!
Thanks for showing the tunning the guitar is when you change modes. That really helped me massively. I play Drop D on my evertune and want a pedal that I can change it to Drop C or C - Sharp for Paramore songs etc.
I love that Fender. Never thought a single coil pickup would beef like that!
Listen to most Smashing Pumpkins songs.
Really impressed how well this did. I've heard lots of drop pedals sound like total shit and spaz out, but this really nails it.
Not only does it drop your tuning but it also makes your guitar picks drop from your headstock! 1:08
Why isn't this midi capable!?!?! Perfect solution if you blow your cash on quality gear with limited guitars. Also, midi would be great for a cover band that has a DEEP catalog. This thing rocks for guys like me who love low tunings and have always loved the tightness of fat strings but have to scale down due to CT or other nerve issues. Mike Einziger from Incubus might want to have a look at this, given his CT issues. Much love Fluff! Keep up the good work!

PS.... Thanks for bringing back FAQ Mondays. It really brightens my day.8D
I love how plectrum just falls of his headstock at 1:08
(lmao, noticed it rewatching this video for 100th time)
Dang it, man! You're costing me too much money! First you convinced me to try some cleartones, then I had to grab a Drop pedal!
Seriously, though. Nice reviews and videos! You've sparked my interest in picking up my guitar again, getting some better gear without breaking the bank, and giving it another go.
Thanks for the vid, mate! I should definitely get this pedal.
what a wonderful piece of art u have here
Own it for 4 years n love it
For my tribute band, I was going to need 5 guitars (I have 2) and I thought there must be another way....bam. This thing is like what Napster was to the music industry in the 2000s. Guitar manufacturers are going to be put out of business with this thing
Perfect demo thank you this helped a lot
cheers mate - excellent demo
For the sake of clarification: these tunings ARE NOT "drop D", "drop C" and so on, just like standard tuning is not "drop E"... the "drop D" tuning is the standard E with the low E tuned a whole step down. So what you are doing is to tune down all 6 strings, so you don't have a "drop D", you simply have "D tuning", or a whole step below.
Don't act like a smartass, he's tuned in Drop C# (C#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D# so we're clear) at the beginning, then with the pedal he goes down to Drop B, Drop A, etc
IK seriously this guy over here
I joined a band with a set list that's all over the place and I have one lock-nut 7 string - I bought one of these last week and haven't stopped laughing. There isn't anything they can throw at me now I can't tackle. I'll most likely pick up at least one more as a back-up. I can't imagine not having this, now.
this is what i need. no need tuning to get low tune. 🙌
I really liked this video. Extremely helpful for me. Thank you very much. And you mention it works well with bass guitar too! My bassist in my future dream band will be very happy 😉 😊. Not to mention the guitarists too. I wrote music. One of the songs was written in drop D. Needs to be played in Drop G for the vocalist (me). Also very helpful that you played straight from guitar to pedal to amp. Helps me to reproduce your amazing sound. And you even mention the pickup your playing on. Nice 👍
LOL... I'm quite new into all that effect pedal stuff... I never heard of a pedal that drops the tuning stepwise. Exactly what I need. Thanks!
Man your power chord slides are so sick!
Great demo. Was hoping to hear the octave/dry mode though. Thank you.
I've had one of these for 4 months and it's brilliant. So much practice time saved!
Thats pretty cool riff that could be worked up using that petal at the start.
dude i just had this riff pop up in my head, i started searching and i knew it was you, i just didnt know which video, but i found it. i know. so random. but its crazy how random our mind is sometimes. lmao
If anyone else decides to demo this pedal (as so many have already), please, PLEASE put in some nice clean sounds and picking through various clean-sounding chord change-ups. Virtually every video reviewing it on YT are just bashing away with distorted and overdriven stuff. To really hear the ability to track, one needs to assess cleaner-sounding stuff.
Nice demo. Fun too. Thanks.
So with this pedal i could be playing deftones in drop c# my own summer then switch to drop f# and play diamond eyes wi out needing a second guitar?
Correct
........Slowly empty’s my sweetwater cart with 4 guitars in it.
Can't wait to get a DigiTech Obscura!!
