    You just answered my question, I will only go from standard to half step and whole step down and I have a guitar with a floyd so I can now play some pantera without having a headache while tuning down the floyd

    Bought one but the larger combo DT Whammy and now it is my FAVORITE go to pedal. Been playing doom death type metal with it and works great. Great for making playing easier than messing with strings and floyd rose. Most good metal is in E flat tuning like Slayer and Sabbath and most harder core stuff down to Drop C# and some in Drop B!

  • @heatnationwpb
    @heatnationwpb 3 роки тому +5

    This is fantastic. I recently bought a new RG with a double-locking/floating trem, and while I love the guitar it's a real pain in the arse when I want to drop a half step to get that "90's Alt/Metal" sound that I grew up on and love. This pedal addresses that issue with the touch of a button which could prove to be invaluable. I actually kind of enjoy the tinkering and setup involved with a floating tremolo system, but having the ability to drop a half or whole step on the fly is awesome!

  • @lauraharmon6508
    @lauraharmon6508 5 років тому +1

    Thanks for the review Steve. We just returned from a European tour a few weeks back where the airline lost our gear. Trying to find baritone scale guitars to borrow/rent was basically impossible (we play six string 27" guitars in drop A#), so we had to just make due with regular scale and very heavy strings slapped on, which worked but wasn't ideal. We're now considering buying these as a safety backup for those situations, and your review has helped in that decision. Thanks again!

    I own both pedals. Drop pedal for alternate tunings only. Pitch fork for harmonies and pitch shifting. Both pedals are great. Drop pedal is a must have on my pedal board. Have pitch fork on pedal board too but not a must have. Drop makes floating trem guitars hassle free and stop bar guitars you only need one guitar for gigs. Worth every penny. My back thanks digitech.

      Ronald Gray, I Work at an industrial park which has an I industrial grade grinder. Huge rollers with tapered spikes staggered along the rollers. If a commercial size stainless steel refrigerator is toss in, it will bounce around, at first getting caught in a couple of teeth and thrown over to the other rollers. Eventually, the teeth grab it just rite and it pulls it through. The machine is so powerful that it barely draws any extra current, maybe 2 or 3 amps at most. Then those scraps fall into more fine tooth grinding wheels and so on until there's nothing left but tiny pieces of stainless metal. You know what I'm saying?

  • @chadallen3211
    @chadallen3211 6 років тому

    I'll start off by saying that you're the best guitar teacher that I've ever heard speak. You're very articulate and precise. Now for my question. I'm looking to play in Drop C and Drop Bb. The way I understand it is that this drop pedal will only drop all of the strings the same amount of semi-tones all at once. So it won't get me to Drop Bb which is 6 semi-tones lower than standard on the low E and 4 semitones lower on all the rest. Or Drop C which is 4 semi-tones lower on the low E and 2 semi-tones lower on all the rest. Am I correct? Should I just have two guitars ready to go? One in Drop C and one in Drop Bb? Seems like this would be the only solution.

  • @jacobsmith1877
