The dream for floyd rose players :D
Alejandro Enmanuel Cabrera Contreras exactly why I’m here lol
Stoned Immaculate same
Your are not wrong it’s 2020 and I’m in need for this pedal
Agree... La neta jajaja
I honestly never thought of that. That’s brilliant. I just thought about eliminating the need of having multiple guitars with multiple setups :D
Every djent lover who only has a 6-string should watch this.
yes
+MushyTheCraft Indeed
+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.
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
This is probably the best demo of this pedal on UA-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
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. 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?
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.
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. But just for playing at home.
Maxwell Hoffman huh? whered you get that from? i didn't know that was possible.
1:03 Trivium
1:09 SOAD
1:14 Slipknot
1:19 Sybreed
1:25 Suicide Silence
1:30 Cannibal Corpse
1:35 Whitechapel
1:40 Fear Factory
1:46 Glass Cloud
1:40 and architects
cannibal corpse don't use drop G# tbh they use d# standard
Gerardo R they used drop G# in scourge of iron but it’s true d# standard is kinda their default
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
My aren't you looking clean cut today!
I didn't expect to see you here
+Spoder Man i didnt expect you either
Oh my God I was laughing so hard when you got to 7 and a full octave. Your reaction is hysterical.
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!
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.
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
have you never heard of Twelve Foot Ninja? They took tuning changes during songs to a whole new dimension.
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
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.
Love the riff man!Sounds killer in every single tuning!
Very impressed with this pedal, Also one of the better videos to display how well it works.
Good job fluff!
your sound was incredible, with and without this pedal. Just awesome tone!
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.
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!
For a channel called riffs beards and gear, there not a lot of beard material.
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!
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.
Great review man, exactly what I was looking for. Cheers for keeping it simple and short.
great demo, so glad to hear there is finally a drop tune pedal that's finally worth the money.
Thanks for review, vertu helpful. I had few questions about it and you answered them all, and showed everything that's needed to know - thanks again 😆
Now i can djent with a 6 string with 09's gauge!
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!
the faces as it drops are awesome - sounds like it tracks pretty well
The musicality and harmonics are still there when detuning - Thanks for demoing this!!!!
beard guy your guitar tone is so massive and heavy in this even without the drop pedal engaged. Love it. Going to check out that amp.
Got this a few months ago. Love it! Finally gott to play those C# Black Sabbath riffs!
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 :)
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
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.
Best pedal for years honestly. I dont need to take 4 guitars to my rehearsal anymore. Just 2 (Drop Tuning for sure). Love it
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.
The more and more I hear the intro riff the more I love it.
Can't get enough of this intro! (or Fricker's, for that matter... Always a sign of something awesome coming up)
Bought this pedal from GC it should be in later this week and I'm excited I like to play sometimes in Eb for srv and other blues songs. Great video
Great playing Fluff!
I WANT ONE! OMG If you have a floyd rose this could come in handy,
Definitely. Floyds take about 30 min to set up for a new tuning.
Crimson Ghost longer than that for me on my ibanez its
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.
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.
Great video and a amazing pedal. Great way to play kind off dark guitar music.
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.
What? No drop Q? XD
LOL!!!
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?
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 the vid, mate! I should definitely get this pedal.
Very good review Ryan, it's the first time i see your video, my congratulations from Brazil.
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.
Yes mate! the strat! Sounds awesome the pedal is wicked too! Going to go get one...
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?
I just saw Uli Roth and he has the whammy pedal.
Perfect demo thank you this helped a lot
Thanks man, finally someone how knows what the audience wants to hear
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.
Just bought one, thanks for the recommend!
WOW, just joined a second band and it is all drop a,b,c to z tuning, this is perfect!
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 👍
Does the knob go by half steps?
Like eB to D to C# to A etc?
I lost count of how many strings I broke when changing tuning, this pedal will make my life so much easier!
what a wonderful piece of art u have here
Awesome. Perfect for the end of Black Diamond. Really though this is an amazing pedal. SO many possibilities. Kinda on the pricey side but like you said-well worth it. BTW I love the sounds you folks make and the humor. This is one of my favorite channels on youtube. Can't wait to hear/see more.
Black diamond? Is that a song and from What band?
@@mmmetalwolf It's a song by KISS. The end of the original song features the main riff slowed down a half step at a time throughout the fade.
Black diamond is just using one tuning!
This pedal changes your live game completely. Now I put songs drop d, a full step, half step, 3 steps down in the same with no problem. Awesome pedal
it takes well going from drop d to drop b?
nice... i need it of that actually.
@@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 🤙🏻
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.
cheers mate - excellent demo
This thing looks fucking amazing. If I was playing live still, I'd definitely pick one up.
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
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!
This is better than the pitch glide on my pod, which definitely warbles when you hit chords.
Great demo. Was hoping to hear the octave/dry mode though. Thank you.
I love that Fender. Never thought a single coil pickup would beef like that!
Listen to most Smashing Pumpkins songs.
Mine arrives tomorrow, it's going to elevate my playing so much by allowing me to play stuff on my Floyd rose without spending an hour detuning
I've had one of these for 4 months and it's brilliant. So much practice time saved!
If my guitar is in E standard does it drop on all the strings or just on one string?
Great video as always Ryan! I need some of your stickers bro!
That's a good godamn riff!
Does anybody know how the pedal reacts in the effects loop?
Man your power chord slides are so sick!
HI. i want to record heavy guitar WITH EFFECTS and going for effects processor. should i get a Elevenrack or Line6 POD hd or what else? Thanks
Nice demo. Fun too. Thanks.
Does it makes any kind of noise fron amp/ground noise when plugged into guitar?
Can't wait to get a DigiTech Obscura!!
pretty good to use on my floyd rose, thinking of getting one!
i was thinking the same thing. instead of buying 4 guitars, i could do it with one. changing tunings on a floyd sucks.
I've always wanted this pedal
I really dig that 94 Strat sticker scheme pretty freaking cool
Id love to see a video of this pedal being used against a tuner that goes off of pitch to see how accurate it is!
ok, so, if o tune my guitar tiene Drop D i can make It sounds like Drop B without tunning my guitar again?
I have this, and I really like it a lot!
The answer to my problem with my floyd rose tremelo, retuning and setting it up for different songs
Yep. Love my Drop pedal.
I'm new to peddles..
Would this help with the goofy alternate tunings the the goo goo dolls use? I've broke so many strings..
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 !
Own it for 4 years n love it
Best review!! Do u recommend before or after distortion pedals? Thks!!
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
Can you use an expression pedal with that??
can the pedal go up or only down? i usually keep my guitar in drop c, but i would like to go up to drop d on occasion. i know i can play in drop b/ drop a, etc.
Can it be possible to shift 1 semi note??
Hi Great Review!!!
Can someone please tell me if this pedal can be powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus?
From what I read may work at the entrance 5 or 6?
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?
Anyone know how this compares to the pitch shifter on the kemper?
