I think it works great. I use mine all the time and never have any tracking or latency issue, and I’m pretty sensitive to that. The main thing is you just have to be loud enough to not hear the acoustic note of the string, or it sounds like some crazy warped harmony lol
@@brandonbryson3317 so I guess I just got a “bad” one. It’s not the cables or the amp. If it was, I’d have noise issues all the time. But everything is quiet, until I hit the pedal. Major noise! So much so I can’t use it live… never mind recording! Thanks for the input.
I use this in a 90's cover band. One guitarist and I (bassist) have the Drop and the other guitarist has the Whammy DT. I notice a very slight latency at times, but it's so minimal. Nobody in the crowd would ever know. Maybe half the songs drop half a step, there's one that we drop a full step, and I'll use the octave on one song. I'm not aware of anything better other than setting up another instrument and switching throughout the gig. This pedal has been a welcome addition to my pedalboard.
@@MadManMusic same man I just ordered one I have 3 guitars in D standard and 1 in E flat and 1 in standard and my new one is going to be in B standard and I really want to be able to switch Tunings and this is exactly what I need.
I use mine all the time, but I never go below C standard using a 6 string with standard E tuning. It just gets too muffled and sounds like it's underwater. As long as you don't go below C, standard the thing works like a charm.
Great tests! I came here through looking at reviews of this. I dont have it, but I have a Helix LT which just got a Poly Capo (same effect). I had not even given this thing a second look before. Tried it out and agree with your assessments. I was also messing around and got mine to record a "dry" signal out that was an octave lower and got some decent captures (checked with tuners on Reaper). Its *relatively accurate for fun little projects like that. I then re-amped through an Ampeg preset and laid down a decent bass line. Super useful and can easily translate guitars in a live scenario to lessen what guitars you need to carry for dropped tunings.
It’s definitely a powerful tool for the gigging guitarist needing to bounce around tunings. I didn’t find it to be so useful for bass. Im not sure its really designed for use with bass.. but i was having trouble as early as 2 intervals. But again.. im not sure this was ever designed for bass. Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼😜
I’ve owned a whammy DT for almost 3 years now and here’s my 2 cents. Pros: -Can easily go down to B standard/Drop A without major issues on guitar and to C standard on Bass -Much less gear to bring to shows saving cargo space during travel and precious time between songs -Coming up ideas in different tunings at home or during jam sessions is a equally convenient and easy -The octave Up/Down + dry settings sound amazing -Believe it or not but I’ve actually saved money since owning it because I have less use in owning more instruments to set up in different tunings -I’ve tested it with guitars already set up in lower tunings and it seems to handle it almost 100% as well as a guitar set up in E. Cons: -The “flub” and other artifacts do indeed become a lot more noticeable below 5 semitones on guitar and 4 on bass -While great in a live setting, I still either borrow or set up an instrument for a different tuning for recording as with headphones, it’s glitchiness can sometimes be heard. -Price point, I understand why the Whammy DT is priced as is but the standalone DT should honestly be cheaper -Availability, it seems like there’s either only ever 1000 of these or 3 on the market, no in between lol Overall these are really awesome and versatile pedals. I play everything from straight up blues to funk/psych to jazz to doom metal so I get a lot of use out of mine wether I’m just setting it to Eb or Drop A. It’s become one of my “always on” pedals and it’s saved me a lot of trouble over the past 3 years ESPECIALLY in live situations.
i LOVE IT !!! it is amazing it even works perfectly with the Rocksmith game on the pc! At some point i went broke for a cupel of months sold my amp pedals and guitars but kept this! the best pedal you can have with a tuner and a noise Gate coming in no 2 and 3!
For a bass player, this pedal really shines if you are... - in a cover band, and don't want to retune between songs or switch basses - willing to stick with the neck pickup, it gives a stronger fundamental for the pedal to work with, just like an OC-2 - able to pretty much stick to quarter notes or shorter, no long held out notes below E as you can hear in this video, they get wonky - ok with not having your perfect tone on those songs - not trying to play anything fast (this will be a deal breaker for some of you) This pedal has been indispensable for me. I've even been able to use it 5 steps down like a virtual B string if I follow these guidelines.
Myself & two friends have each purchased a "Drop", the unit works as advertised, but, sometimes when engaging the Drop with a "Drive" pedal a strange medium pitch (RF?) hum is audible, of course when I returned it the the retailer the bloody thing wouldn't hum ! It occurred to me after leaving the store that the amp we were using to test the pedal was the only item turned on in the "loud" room we were using for the test, does the retailer have the worlds best RF killer as well ? My two friends have the same problem, we live in different suburbs, we have different drive pedals & amps both tube & solid state, so no matter what combination each of us has tried, more often than not you can hear the "funny hum". I'm not an electronics expert but we are all of the belief it's something to do with the Drop. I have contacted Digitech but have not received a reply yet.
Hmm 🤔 So it hums when user with a drive? Where is the drive located in your signal chain? It should come after the Drop, not before. The Drop should be the first effect in your chain after your tuner and noise gate. Otherwise… 🤷🏻♂️ Thats pretty wild, Im curious to see what they reply with. 🤘🏼😜
I've been using the EHX Pitchfork for over a year. When jamming with people or under a backing track, it blends pretty well, but playing alone or with headphones you do hear the artifacts. I did order a Digitech Drop since it seems like an approvement in terms of artifacts and latency. Plus you can't do 3 half steps (C#) with the Pitch fork
Bass Player. My whole band has these. We have 6 tunings in our set list (E Standard, D Standard, C Standard, and then Drop variations of those three). This cut out the number of basses I bring. The only thing is with my bass I can only drop one step really. If I go 2 (E Standard to C Standard) It gets too muddy. So I need 2 basses still, one in E Standard and one in C Standard and we just drop tune those when the song calls for it.
Is it the transposition of the notes when it gets to the 6th/7th setting that makes it muddy or the low notes themselves? I've been wanting to learn some lower tunings for bass.
I bought it and sold it. Just couldn't get it anywhere that I liked. I tune my guitars to drop A, and even when I go a step down it just sounds weird when strumming two string at the same time. On one string it works, put that's about it. Sold it because it wasn't worth 150 euros to me.
It’s designed for guitars tuned to Standard E. So it works best in E, D, C.. below that the information is to difficult for the pedal to decipher. Sorry it didnt work for you. 🤘🏼😜
I'm using one since it came out. It's amazing if you don't drop more then 3 half steps. After that it's almost unusable. And the 8ve plus dry it's amazing too.
Any recommendations on a pedal that can tune up without sounding totally digitized? Ive tried a couple in the store and they either sound like pianos or robots. Ideally im looking for something i can use on solos to harmonize with myself an octave up.
@@MadManMusic so I like to play songs as it was recorded in the studio, some Metallica kill em all album songs are 40 cents detuned from standard rather than a full step. Same thing for Nazareth Hair of the dog, that tuning is not quite a half step sharp or flat
@philbouffard715 Thats true! Metallica and Pantera were both known for being slightly off of 440. I never really understood why though. But thats a good use case if you can keep the latency at bay. 🤘🏼😜
Yes. If you’re in standard E using the pedal on its first setting will drop it to Eb. The effect will always work across your entire guitar. So it wont produce a “Drop D Tuning” type effect. 🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic right, and if where to already be in drop d in E standard same story if i drop it down to eb tuning (it will just be in what is it drop c right? )
Just a question, I bought my Drop but it looks octave in all the options when I play single notes, like solos. The guy in Guitar Center told me it is normal but It doesn't like normal.
I just bought a Drop… has anyone experienced excessive noise when turning the pedal on?? I’ve changed cables, outlets… everything I could think of. I even unplugged the guitar cord from the input jack. No difference. As soon as I hit the foot switch, massive noise. I’m thinking I’m the lucky one who got a defective unit.😔
@@MadManMusic guitar to pedal to amp. I was just playing with it at home. Live I have a rack, so it would be wireless to drop to preamp. But none of that applies if I can’t even use it in my living room without major noise.

Dropping to C from E is 4 intervals down. Thats is pretty much the limit Of usefulness for this pedal. I mention that in the video. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Enjoy the new guitar! 🤘🏼😜
I spent a good 2 weeks researching both the Drop and the EH Pitchfork and I ended up going with the Pitchfork... While I do hear the chorus-ey effect in it, its been in a good way... Do you like the Drop better than the Pitchfork?
I havent had the opportunity to try it yet. But I would love to! Maybe even do a little comparison video. The Pitchfork appears to be a bit more expensive BUT it has EXP Pedal Capabilities… I wonder how you would use that. 🤔 But either way, I pitch shifting will always be hit or miss depending on the use case. It requires so much processing power to shift the pitch in real time.. i think these companies are doing a great job so far! 🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic The Exp is kinda cool because it goes up in pitch as well as down, so you can do Tom Morello kinda stuff... But yeah man, i would love a comparison video from you if you ever get one.. (i havent had the pleasure of trying a Drop myself)
At some point I did the same kind of research Digitech Drop vs EHx Pitchfork and what turned me off from EHX version was that it supposedly had a more noticeable lag which I could confirm from my experience with B9 organ EHX pedal. I went for Digitech Drop and use it to replace bass in basking with a looper situations, so I only use it in a drop an octave mode with a preset specifically designed for bass. To me it totally works for that purpose because the bass is meant as a background instrument that I layer other parts over. The lag is very slightly noticeable but to me it's actually not an issue because I tend to rush about the same.
I’ve had both, the Drop tracks better than the pitchfork, hands down. If you like the chorus like sound, cool. But if you want it tight, the Drop does a better job .
Not Really since Drop D only involves changing one string. I use a hipshot drop tuning peg to accomplish this quickly. Just flip a lever and you're in Drop D. Combine that with this pedal, and you're golden
I realize the lower down tunings start to sound flubby when chords are played, however, so too does your guitar when you physically down-tune it.\Unless switching to heavier string gauges and re-setting your guitar's intonation, you just kind of have to live with that flubbieness unless you are using a high-end amp modeler of even a Kemper.
Would be a great pedal if it was reliable!! Mine worked great for a month then developed a fault and it sounded terrible as a result. Now it’s in the trash.
There is a fraction of a millisecond of latency. There will always be latency because to process the signal in real time would take a very powerful processor. But they have really made it SUPER FAST. This is also why when you drop it too low it gets all Warbley. I think that have managed to make a really useable pitch shifter for the size and price point. 🤘🏼😜
Here to say that pedal is garbage . I used 2 different ones, both with their own power supply fed directly. The latency in the signal is obvious if you hit a note too hard. I got rid of them.
Welp, I‘m here to say its definitely a game changer and anyone who needs on the fly tuning options should have it in their arsenal. Its by far the best at what it does on the market. Which is the whole point of the video. My suggestion is: stop playing too hard. 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks for watching. 🤘🏼😜
Dude. I was going to say that I really like your review because I've never heard of this pedal. And I could have a lot of fun with it. But, now I want to ask why you make people agree to guidelines before they comment? Are you that afraid of criticism? 🤔

-Can easily go down to B standard/Drop A without major issues on guitar and to C standard on Bass
-Much less gear to bring to shows saving cargo space during travel and precious time between songs
-Coming up ideas in different tunings at home or during jam sessions is a equally convenient and easy
-The octave Up/Down + dry settings sound amazing
-Believe it or not but I’ve actually saved money since owning it because I have less use in owning more instruments to set up in different tunings
-I’ve tested it with guitars already set up in lower tunings and it seems to handle it almost 100% as well as a guitar set up in E.
Cons:
-The “flub” and other artifacts do indeed become a lot more noticeable below 5 semitones on guitar and 4 on bass
-While great in a live setting, I still either borrow or set up an instrument for a different tuning for recording as with headphones, it’s glitchiness can sometimes be heard.
-Price point, I understand why the Whammy DT is priced as is but the standalone DT should honestly be cheaper

Dude. I was going to say that I really like your review because I've never heard of this pedal. And I could have a lot of fun with it. But, now I want to ask why you make people agree to guidelines before they comment? Are you that afraid of criticism? 🤔
Im sorry? Afraid of criticism?
I run a UA-cam channel.. 90% of the comments are criticisms. 🤣

I had it and hated it. I ended up selling it and then buying 3 more guitars for drop tunings.
