THIS IS THE GREATEST INVENTION EVER. I THOUGHT I'D HAVE TO GET MORE GUITARS TO HAVE IN DIFFERENT TUNINGS TO MAKE LIFE FASTER BUT I DONT NEED TO 😭😭😭😭😭 TEARS OF JOY
Whats wrong with more guitars man?
Money lol
Tried this pedal out and bought it immediately. Very impressive. I've heard people say it has a noticeable latency, but I don't hear it. It sounds very authentic (especially compared to line 6's detuners). Eliminates constant guitar changes if you play in a lot different tunings.
I have a digitech whammy pedal with the droptuner built in, at it is amazing, I totally recommend it, it's an awesome tool.
if you had 2 of them can you drop the drop? lol.
Oh my.. I need this. Thank you tone king for introducing it. \m/
My favorite pedal! So useful for playing wide music I love playing metal with Drop D to Drop A in it.
Is it odd playing detuned with tight E tuning strings man ?.. I love the feel of the saggy strings in B tuning for some Sepultura.
Bought it and your video helped on my decision cheers man!
I use the Helix. Would I run my guitar into this and then into the input of the Helix or would it be good to put it in an FX loop block at the beginning of the chain (or would it make no difference....as long as it's at the from of the chain)?
is there any difference between this pedal and the same section that you can find on the digitech whammy dt? i mean is there the same kind of digital tracking? or one it's better than the other? i ask this because i like the drop thing of this pedal but i like also the versatility of the whammy dt which can do apart from drop tunings also some sort of capo tunings plus the whammy itself section and the harmony one; so i need to decide between the two :=)
is there any way i could use this with an audio interface like the scarlett 2i4 or use it with an effects processor like the boss gt-001 or line 6 pod hd 500?
can I custom the tuning in open tuning?
+The Tone King Hi I have only one guitar which is Vintage VRS 100, but in several years I think I will buy ESP LTD H-1007FR STBLK, which have floyd rose 1000 series and my question is that all Floyd rose have tuning problems?
I actually really want this pedal now, maybe I should get one. Awesome vid TK!
Gareth Howes Thanks Gareth!
Love the pedal , alone , but with my pedal board i get a echo when i turn it on ! both with it at the beginning of the run and at the end !! any ideas ??
Guys you can NOT go from standard E to drop D with this pedal... It drops everything in semitones... In order to drop into drop tunings properly you have to drop the guitar to drop D first, THEN it will drop correctly. All the tuning he is showing are not correct drop tunings because he started in E standard. So when he went to drop C it was DGCFAD not CGCFAD and so on. If he woulda dropped to Drop D tuning the drop tunings would have gone sequentially.
i bought this thing and i can confirm. first drop D (which is easy to do with a floyd rose guitar) and then you can go down to drop c. works like a charm
So by your logic dropping from standard to a half step down across all strings is no problemo?
@@miketabacco5436 That is in no way what anyone said...
@@XMetalChefX stop capping bro bro
@@harls7317 English?
Great Tone TTK!
What if you are already in drop C can you use this pedal to go back up to drop D or standard tuning?
I have a morpheus droptune pedal that pretty much does the same thing. Lately I have been bugged by the tone coloration. Does this color your sound?
Love it! If you've ever played one, how does it compare to the Morpheus Drop Tune? This seems like a more straighforward, compact version of it.
Hey, TTK. Can you compare this to the line 6 pod hd500's detuner? Or if you have already done so by yourself, which would you say sounds better? I've noticed that some of the original signal kind of leaks through on the hd500's detuner as you add more notes to a chord
Does it also work for downtuning? For example I own a guitar with Floyd that I really love and want to play a song by Guns N Roses that is in Eb tuning, will this pedal be helpful for that too? Thanks!
Does it work on 7 string? Or 8?
What is the latency like on this? Is it noticable?
Great demo, thanks for sharing, it just made my wish list, will it work on basses too? \m/
Hello Tone King nice video!!!!!! I was wondering if you could do a review about the ESP LTD EC-50 guitar!!!!! If you could that would be amazing!!!!!!
Hi Tone King, nice demo. I was just wondering how this pedal compares to the Donner Grey Pitch and Hotone Harmony pedals that you reviewed some time ago (for down tuning purposes)? I have the Grey Pitch myself but was wondering if it was worth the upgrade?
How well does it track? Does it start feeling/sounding funky the farther away you get from your guitar's actual tuning? Any gain loss?
Thats brilliant thing however when f.i guitar tuned Drop C manualy then there is a different position how you catch accords.
Nice video and i thumb up ! Could you name the tunings for each numbers of this pedal? Looking for the Drop D.
How do you play in such a tiny space
Hi TK i really thanks if you can explain one more thing about this pedal that all Floyd lovers around the world we are awaiting because maybe its not real for the money have 3 or 4 guitars, so tell us where is the best place for it, first place in the chain or in front of the amp after all pedals, or in the fx loop of the amp...thanks for your advice and sorry for english and regards from Costa Rica
How Much?
awesome pedal. picked it up myself
I was thinking of setting up my 08 Core PRS Mira down a whole step for grunge-metal covers but now this pedals got me thinking🤔🤔
You know why else this is great? I love playing with some thin bass strings, so whenever I want to take it down a full step, the strings get rattly
hey tone king,cool review man,but you left out the most important thing,what does it retail at? cheers dude.
I do like that ... It can used with non floyd models ..Just need to find out the price of that .. pedal
sounds OK with distortion. and now that you mentioned it, hell yeah i don't have to dread floyd rose trems so much hahaha
this should really be convenient. now I can go and learn Death songs (tuned to standard D), more Guns N Roses songs (E flat), Shadows Fall and Children of Bodom songs (drop C), and instantly go back to playing stuff from Toto, the Police, Mr Big, and all that good stuff in standard tuning. no need to purchase a new set of strings for each tuning (I do so because of my arthritis stricken fretting hand; i have to be very specific about string tension)
thanks for the demo, Tone King
P.S. that Carvin AE is lovely
P.S.#2 Finish the song! =)
Having nearly 30 guitars....This never leaves my board...
this tunes all the strings down so how do we get a drop d tuning and not a d standard tuning?
arpon chakraborty tune to drop drop. So when you start drop tuning, say D to C, it’ll drop correctly as with how it is it’ll drop ALL the strings at the same time this making drop tunings incorrect. Going to drop D first will solve this before enabling pedal.
Seems amazing but.. When I play in B I like the feel of the saggy strings in that tuning.. It feel kinda odd playing B tuning with tight E tuning strings yeah?... For the price,I might just save a few more weeks and buy a new guitar for a different tuning... Edit: Although, it be handy if you break a string on a Floyd and had to use another guitar with different tuning... So yeah actually a handy thing to own.. But you can never have too many guitars too
Sweet.!! thumbs up.!!TTK
Awesome pedal, I wonder if there is any sort of lag. I am also curious to hear what a guitar and bass in a Live setting would sound like if both players were to use this pedal.
5ns delay is what I saw hope it helps!
I have the DT Whammy. It's good to about a step and a 1/2. After that too many artifacts. Cool pedal though. Ditch the capo.
I bought one its awesome
Does it drop by whole steps or half
Crystal Pepsi God Half.
Where did you get that ozzie figurine from and is there a Dio one available too? (criminal if there ain't)
shoominati23 haha - eBay! It's a bobblehead. I love that figure! Would be AWESOME if there was a DIO figure - but I don't ever recall seeing one.
Actually there is a Dio figurine available but it is Rainbow era.. having said that, guess you could customize it out to black sab / heaven n hell era lookalike.
I do this with a zoom g2, just set the harmoniser to a half step down then mix 100% effected signal and 0% dry, on that particular unit only the harmonised note comes through on the wet signal so you get the effect of playing half step or lower down on a standard tuning guitar, I would like a pedal this size to do the same thing but it's a bit expensive
logeybear5150 Cool. I never tried the Zoom.
***** i tried a de-tune with the zoom g2. for half a step is ok, but when you are going to de-tune for more than one full step you start to lose definition, the tone starts to become dull, you lose gain also, that's what i like about this digitech, i don't see any of those problems in this unit.
can u reach a drop B with that pedal starting from the standard E tuning?
Riccardo Mauri yep :)
If you are tuned to Standard and you use the pedal, you'll have to tune the low E string down to D in order to go to ANY drop tuning on this pedal. If you use a Floyd Rose, you might have to get a second guitar because even changing one string on a Floyd is a pain.
So i can go from E standard straight to drop C ? If so, i might get this.
Andrei Trimbez no it won't go from standard to "drop" tunings. It takes what you are tuned to an lowers that half a step each setting. If you are in a "drop" tuning it will lower
that a half step at a time.
Bro bro, it would take you from e standard to c standard, drop c is something else entirely, hopefully you realize this 7 years later
Does it feel strange to be hearing different notes than your fingers are feeling in the wood?
Michael Horn Not when the volume is turned up :-). All kidding aside - a little volume, and you don't hear anything more than the strings hitting the frets.
this pedal is so good
does it tune to c Sharp
Yes
Honestly I don't need this pedal nowadays since I gots and 8 stringer. But goddamn I curve used this shit when I was younger, would've saved my ass four tunes on thick ass strings. No seriously man when I used to platonic 6's I hated regular tuning. So much even that I tuned to a various amounts of odd and obscure tunings. I stopped off at Drop G#. Thanx for the review TK, very kewlz and very informative
Hey Tone King, how in the world do you like that Zakk Wylde guitar? That thing is ugly as sin lol
Hunter Jones Truly - I love it!
It may not appeal to you Hunter Jones on a personal level .. but looks ain't everything ...with a guitar
***** What kind of guitar is it? Hondo II ? hehehe
totally an artistic preference. some people will love it, some will hate it, some will be indifferent. Silly comment
+Hunter Jones it may be ugly as hell, but it could play beautifully, at that point, doesn't matter the looks. that being said, most odd gimmicky guitars from respected companies tend to hold most value
There was a Whammy pedal with this feature built-in, AND with higher capo settings also...Guess they thought they were giving too much for the money. Now all this one does is drops. On my Whammy, We did a Beatles song where George used a capo on the 1st fret, and that could be done with that section of the Whammy.
Where would you recommend I put this pedal in my pedal chain ?
Digitech says is better putting it first in your chain and it's true because if you put the distorsion before you eill loose some gain lowering down the pich!
guitartechnician.blogspot.it
Definitely at the very beginning. This pedal does not change your guitar signal's natural tone.
@@aragorn767 nope messes with fuzz don’t do it!
@@harls7317 Definitely don't put it after distortion. Trust me. Fuzz always sounds wonky on low tuning.
Hello TK!, where the f**k does this pedal should go in the chain!? Awesome demo as always.
I imagine you should put it after your chromatic tuner if you use a boss tuner stomp box
This tunes into standard tunings or drop tunings?
I'm guessing if you have your standard tuning as E standard it would drop to like Eb, or D standard, etc. So I'm guessing if your guitar is in Drop D or something it would drop it to like Drop C or B or w.e you wanna play in
It does the exact same thing as you tuning down 1/2 step. Want drop C? Drop the E string to D and set the pedal to 2 half steps
Linda tabla para picada usaron para el cuerpo de la guitarra ajaja
Any chance of a bass demo?
Adam Jensen fat chance (hey, no fat jokes!)
You might have seen this meanwhile but still:
/watch?v=4Ux3pEIpxjc
How about latency?
Davi Calherani Barely any latency.
Fluff has said 8 milliseconds at most when going 1 octave down
actually if you have a 7-string guitar you can tune it like ADADGAD and tune it up by using the capo at 1st fret.
I think it`s enough for all you will ever play.
was that intro dr. who
No issues with this pedal, but for those who are having their world changed....the Morpheus Droptune pedal has been out for several years offering the exact same capabilities. A little larger footprint however. A side by side comparison would be cool.
What about drop D tuning?
Just drop the low e. It takes like five seconds so there's no need for a pedal.
Robert Nordin or install a D-Tuna :-)
***** so this pedal will get like drop d and drop c ? don't really understand what the 7 dots mean can you explain it? or make pedal review/ demo of this pedal.
Ronald de Bleijser The dots show you that it's dropped yet another step.
if you want a drop tune your guitar needs to be in a drop tune already. say you are in drop d and want to play in drop b the pedal "tunes" the signal of your guitar down
oo and then go those half steps down if your in drop d or just a drop tuning and want go down more right?
got it thanks
Does this drop tune all your strings or can it drop tune just the low e?
It lowers the pitch of all the strings
But you can have the guitar in drop d and lower it to drop c, drop b etc
Morpheus droptune tracks better for low tunings. I'm on drop A and go from that to drop G on some songs and it KILLS!!!! I also have whammy DT and I don't like its drop tune effect versus morpheus.
You like that petal don't cha? :)
Can you drop tune each of the strings separately or it drops all of the strings in the same tone? For example: moving from
(standard to drop D (only the 6th is dropped a tone down
And if it is not, is there something that can do such a thing? like a pedal or some kind of a software that can emulate other tunings without actually change the tuning of the guitar? please help!! I have a floyd rose and it really sucks changing the tuning all the time
No theres no such thing, but D standard is fun to play DGCFAD
Like Trevor said, It cant drop down a single string. That being said you're regular power chord shape in E Standard would sound exactly like the power chord on drop D. After that, if you wanted to play it as if it in drop D, you would just pretend that the open and first fret don't exist on every other string but the "E" string. Alternatively, You could just throw a capo on the 2nd fret across all the other strings, and you would achieve the DADGBe. Hope that's helpful!
I know personally, I'm getting one of these as soon as possible. It just makes tuning down that much easier, and also makes it so you can do some pretty funky de-tuning play, like in "Lonely Boy" by The Black Keys, For instance.
Variax guitars do this. I have one. Love it to bits.
Maybe just get a Dtuna for your floyd if you just want to drop to d. If you need drop C# you and the bass player could use E flat for standard tuning, then when you use the Dtuna it will drop you to C#.
can u put a drop tunning like drop b
can it do drop D turning on a Floyd Rose?
Can you drop D only the E string with this pedal?
What? No just do it manually bruhvosevic, why would you need a pedal for that
This + dtuna
I would use this on a 7 string with two d tunas on the 6th and 7th string
"butten"
Or put a evh dtuna on the floyd
TheMetalMisfits EVH Dtuna is one string, this takes everything. Which may or may not be what you want, of course.
+hillie47 buy six (or more) and put them on all of your strings.
Idk there's something about the sound that doesn't convince me
His strings are causing overtones with the dropped tone.
Too much distortion. It is sounding muddy especially when the overdrive+ octave was kicked in. It is hard to hear the effect with so much overdrive. Let the sound breathe. Just my observation. This pedal, is a cure all for a LOT of issues when playing live with a Floyd.
Just invest a little bit more in a digitech whammy and use that.
always crap distortion cant u give a nice sound
But, the pedal does Not emulates a drop D tuning.
I mean just the 6th string to D, making interesting chords, chords variations of a normal power chord in standard tuning.
The pedal just bring down de whole chord, all strings.
I like the pedal, but nothing to do with the beatifull chords you can play with drop D and the power chords for Metal or any other music genre when distorsion applies.
With an only drop D is easier to make sound your chords, caotic, dark, Beatifull, sad, powerfull adding 9th, 5th, etc with easy finger moves.
So i still dont know what am gonna do with my Schecter hellraiser c1 fr s, as dropping D is a nightmare of an untuned guitar.
I can only play metal and all those variations a mentioned with my Telecaster.
Any sugestion to make easy drop D staying tune on the Schecter? 🙏
Ángel Castellanos Martínez the tone king has a video on drop tuning a floyd rose
learn to play!!!
Ffbggb Hdcvh learn to troll!
If you want to do something that has never been done in the history of metal, learn how to write/play cool songs in keys that your singer can actually sing. Don't tie everything to the lowest open string, don't retune for every key, or even buy a pedal like this. Just really learn how to write and play in different keys. ("What's key?") Never mind.
It's been done before many times
Tobias Isaac Not nearly enough, not in metal. In every other genre of music yes, not in metal, almost never. Thanks for misunderstanding my comment.
>:(
Maybe not as often as we may like, but it still occurs.
Tobias Isaac I am aware that it occurs because I myself do it! At least, when I can convince the musicians I'm playing with to do it, which is almost never. I was expressing my frustration that it doesn't happen anywhere near often enough. I'm tired of metal singers screeching into keys that are way outside their capabilities for no reason other than the fact that they can't be bothered to transpose their songs into different keys, and I'm tired of people telling me to detune my guitar or buy some pitch pedal when we could simply play in another key. Thank you youtube, for completely missing the point of every single comment I have ever made on any subject.
Sounds like digitized garbage. C'mon Tone King!
True story - there used to be a pedal by boss called the digital metalizer. I actually liked that pedal. Go figure. Who would have thought 'digital' and 'metal' would become so taboo.
Hey, TTK. Can you compare this to the line 6 pod hd500's detuner? Or if you have already done so by yourself, which would you say sounds better? I've noticed that some of the original signal kind of leaks through on the hd500's detuner as you add more notes to a chord
