This pedal was an absolute lifesaver when I was in a cover band. We had several songs down tuned and rather than lug 5 guitars around I'd turn a knob to change overall tuning.
Right! It really is helpful!
🤘🏼😜
well i have that problem right now and i thought about the whammy ricochet (not the drop) do you think that will do?
@@polytrave I have not used that personally so I am not sure the viability of that pedal.
@@polytrave ricochet/whammy doesn't have as much processing power /computation as drop, so they will give you latency and warpness to your guitar as they're not meant for a "always on" pitch shifting.
@@vanlopes1687what about the whammy dt
You NEED this pedal if you have a guitar with a locking nut and Floyd rose!!!
Or an Evertune! 🤘🏼😜
I bought a drop pedal for that exact reason.
I had mine with a blocked bridge and d tuna with that pedal and it was awesome
@@jaguarataktwitchdude1642 I also have an EVH D tuna and it really it the complete package along with a floyd rose and locking nut!
@jaguarataktwitchdude1642 how's that working for ya? I might do this, seems like the easiest route
Now thats a practical pedal...looks well made.
Its cool for sure! For the price its the best solution for Dropping your tuning Quickly!
🤘🏼😜
Oct + dry sounds like modern KoRn!
Yeah! It does huh! 🤘🏼😜
Will never leave my setup love this pedal so much saves so much time
The greatest pedal format pitch shifting algorithms out there still. The Ricochet is amazing too which I would recommend as superior giving you the ability to slide in and out of the pitch shifter at adjustable speeds if desired. Amazing kit.
Hopefully i can get my hands on one one day and i’ll make some content for it!
🤘🏼😜
Your production value just keeps getting better and better!
Keep at it!
Thanks bro! I appreciate that! I’m working hard.
🤘🏼😜
Thank you for sharing
This is something I was in search for
I’m glad its helpful. I’m hoping to have a full review up soon.
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic sounds good...
I will tune in when it hits my feed
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
We used this in my band (both lead guitar player and bass). Worked great. We used this when playing songs that were half step down (eg Van Halen). We’d call it code red songs (on account of the LED).
Ha! Nice! 🤘🏼😜
I've just got one of these and it's a godsend. I can play some Queens of the Stone Age in C standard and then simply turn the dial and play Electric Wizard in B standard 🤘
Boom! Its awesome!
🤘🏼😜
Didn't know this existed, and honestly that's extremely useful.
Its a must have in the kit!
Its great for tuning down a few semitones. Within reason of course.
🤘🏼😜
I bought mine 2 yrs ago and it is a blessing... i play modern metal, you know how hard it is trying to re-tune to 4 different tunings? It Sucks, big time..... but with this pedal, its soooooo fuckin simple. Best pedal I have.
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That was a nifty little riff
Thanks! Glad you dug it!
🤘🏼😜
This sounds fucking amazing!! Shred on man!
Thanks! 🤘🏼😜
I got the whammy dt, and its my favorite pedal i own. The ability to just have 2 or 3 guitars and be able to play pretty much every song that's on a 6 string is amazing
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I'll definitely be getting this! Thank you!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I was told about this pedal but I haven't really put thought into it. After seeing this video though, I might have to get 1!
Nice! I have a bunch of other videos talkin about it too. So be sure to check those out.
🤘🏼😜
If I had to get rid of all but one of my pedals, this is the one I’d keep. I use it literally every single time I play guitar because I play in a variety of different tunings. It’s literally a godsend
I agree! Though I don't use it all that often, its nice to know I have it in case I need it! 🤘🏼😜
Man... no more spending month's learning the fret counts . pitche sounds.. harmonics.. AND I LOVE IT..
Oh.. AND THAT RIFF IS OUTSTANDING ❤❤❤ 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Life savior for my floyd rose guitars 😂 \m/ i got it last week friday 🙌
Bro that thing is amazing.
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Massive tone in this!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
using this Digi DROP for
2 years, its been a
gig abuse pedal,
3 to 5 days in a week gig..
still alive and kicking 🔥🔥
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Glad to hear it!
🤘🏼😜
Both of my guitarists in my band have them so we can go between D standard and C# standard mid set, a must have
It works absolutely great for small interval drops! 💪🏼
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusicabsolutely, even for a new one that’s a full step down it works great
Back in the days i owned the orig. Whammy with the divebombs,whamming.This is also cool when you only in the Downtuning.
Fuck yeah! I really need to get one of these.
Honestly, its a game changer for gigging musicians that change tunings frequently!
🤘🏼😜
Would be cool if you could reverse it as well, pitch up an octave or whatever with the press of a button.
Yeah it would be cool for sure.
But then they couldn’t call it the “Drop” pedal.. 🙈
I’m honestly surprised that they didnt include that though. 🤷🏻♂️
🤘🏼😜
So many recordings of music have been either in a lower tuning, it made it difficult to learn... this pedal has helped a lot.
Im glad to hear that! 🤘🏼😜
Sounds great
I'm glad you think so! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼😜
Love this pedal!
Me too! 🤘🏼😜
I've owned the drop, pretty cool. I gravitate twords the Ricochet and the OG Whammy.
I’ve used the OG Whammy for years, i loved it but it was HUGE on my board AND it required its own power supply (i don’t think the newer ones do… 🤔) but it was great. I’ve never had the chance to mess with the Ricochet, maybe one day.
🤘🏼😜
No whammy? (Process to breaks skateboard in half)
Im sorry!! 😓
Poor poor skateboard…
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic 😎🤝😎
One of the best pedals digitech ever made! After the whammy pedal.
Its good. I have one, a bit expensive but i promise you’ll keep it for life.
New they are definitely a bit pricey. But you can find good deals Secondhand.
🤘🏼😜
I can also recommend the Hotone Harmony. It can both droptune between 1-12 & 24 semitones and up tone,as well as detune (maybe 60 cent, idk). Also it gives the possibility to emulate a 12 string guitar as you can set the dry as well as the wet output. And the best thing: it is cheap as fuck.
The only downside is that it sucks out a lot of highs and gain but it does it's job if you need something fast instead of changing guitar every 2 seconds
Hmmm... I can't say I've experienced any tone or gain suck... I'll have to keep an ear out for that.
🤘🏼😜
Is that the Epiphone Matt heafy custom? Had one of those was cracks in body all over very bad quality ended up swapping for the prophesying custom
I love it my fav pedal
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
In the lower octave setting, does it just play the lower octave or does it play the original signal on top?
Both! You can set it for a straight up octave as well as a 50/50 blend!
🤘🏼😜
This pedal was good for me when I only had a humbucker guitar with a Floyd
Thats a great reason to use one. I play an EverTune so I’m in a similar position where I can’t change tunings very easily.
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic yeah it’s super useful
Yeah this pedal safed my string tension and never detune my guitar again
Definitely helps keep you from jacking up your setup! 🤘🏼😜
Looks great, but i feel like you cant beat the original whammy with the expression pedal for true at home Tom Morello emulation
Oh of course! The full on Whammy is just awesome! But.. I doubt many people use it for its Detune Feature even though its capable of it.. 🤷🏻♂️
🤘🏼😜
You look like the obscure love child of serj tankian and wayne static, either way, nice demo🤔
Ha! I'll take that as a compliment! 🤘🏼😜
😄😄😄
And they work great for bass.
Techn has advanced so much. Is there a better version now?
Better than this pedal?
No. Other than larger much more powerful processors like Kemper, Axe FX and Quad Cortex.. but really, the Drop still tracks just as well.
🤘🏼😜
Its cool. But Ive got a guitar for every tuning standard down to dropped A? If I didnt this would come in handy
Nice! That must be an awesomely collection of Git-Fiddles!
🤘🏼😜
So it's like a pitch shifter but with less features?
Well… it is a pitch shifter. Thats exactly what it does.
You might mean “its a whammy pedal with less features” and that would be kind of true. This feature is on the Whammy Drop. But this pedals is a much more space efficient and statistically more sought after tool than a whammy is.
🤘🏼😜
nux mg-100 makes a great octaver.
I’d love to try one.. but you 💰🤷🏻♂️
🤘🏼😜
what's the song u were playing
Just noodling something I made up.
🤘🏼😜
I want one
Get one! 🤘🏼😜
I have tried it in my signal chain but it affected the sound negatively.
Im sorry.
It really needs to be one of the first effects in your chain to work properly. Tuner ➡️ Gate ➡️ Drop.
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic that was the way me and my friend tried it and it didnt work.
@@MadManMusic like a blanket and it stole a lot of treble.
Aaah excuse me we didnt use a gate.
I just mean it should be placed in a the beginning of your chain along side pedals thats dont effect your sound like Gates and Tuners.
🤘🏼😜
When you need to get to drop a quick!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
It works great!
🤘🏼😜
What tuning were you playing that awesome riff in?
Glad you enjoyed the Riff. Its in Drop A. 🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic Hell yeah man. The sound of that low A growling gives me chills keep it up 🤘🏼
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
What tune are you using in the guitar? Amazing stuff brother 👏
This is Drop A on a 7-String! Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘🏼😜
May be a dumb question… but will this work on a bass? Any help is extremely appreciated!!!!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
It will for sure!
But just like Guitar, you may only get a Step or two before it starts to not sound amazing.. if you’re going for a Half to a Whole Step down, I think you’ll be okay. Beyond that… it will get questionable..
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic dude thanks for responding so quick! 🤘 so I’m trying to play for a metal band… they play in drop F…. I was planning on tuning to AEADGB… and then dropping it from there. In your opinion, do you think that’d work? Thanks dude!🤘
It could.. F is kinda silly… you’re almost better off just tuning to standard and playing the same notes that they are technically.
For instance with my band Aphelion, we have songs where I tune my guitar Drop E on a 7 string. Which is like an Octave Tuning. But we dont tune the Bass down that low. It just plays standard E. And it works perfectly.
🤘🏼😜
does it go down full steps like E standard or D or E, D#, and so on?
It drops in Half Step Increments.
So E-Eb-D and so on.
🤘🏼😜
I wonder if you had this in front of a tuner it would read the detuned note? I know tuners go first in the chain but just curious
Yes, It would read the detuned note.
🤘🏼😜
Imagine using this with a hollow guitar and hearing two completely different tunings at the same time
I show this in my “Putting the Digitech Drop to the Test” video!
It’s totally wild!
🤘🏼😜
That's the only negative of the pedal really. You have to make sure your amp is louder than your guitar strings or use headphones.
do you use anything in your beard? it looks good. Great playing too
Ha! Nope! I just wash it when I shower and blow dry it afterwards. Leaving it wet irritates my skin.. 🙈
Just let it grow!
🤘🏼😜
How will I explain to my wife why I need so many different guitars ?
Do I have this right ? so once I lock my nut and fine tune my Floyd say in standard tuning I can use this to drop down to D standard once I step on the pedal? Click off and back to standard tuning ? Damn I’m not a pedal guy I just use my amp for for my gain and what not but I have to get this if it’s cheap Enough.
Yup! Thats how it works!
Its accurate enough to do the job for a gig. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for recording.
🤘🏼😜
You kind of look like Jim Root
…hmmm 🤔
Well that’s new! But alright!
🤘🏼😜
Curious what the difference between that and the Ricochet pedal are?
I have never messed with one but it seems like the Ricochet changes your pitch both Up and Down. And it does it in transitionary way. As opposed to just being instant like the Drop.
Its a Ricochet Effect so it Bounces I would assume.
🤘🏼😜
Does it works to acoustic guitar?
I recently released a video where i tested it with guitar, bass and acoustic!
I’d say it would be difficult to use with acoustic. But you’ll have to check out that video to see what I mean.
🤘🏼😜
How’s the latency?
Barely there. You hear it more when you drop it down more then 5 intervals. But its totally usable throughout.
🤘🏼😜
Aqui no Brasil é o preço de um rim.
Works in only E string ? For Drop D
It works however your guitar is tuned, but higher tunings are a bit clearer.
🤘🏼😜
Sounds like Lars Ulrich narrator
Nice
🤘🏼😜
Does this work with combo amps?
Yup! It will work what any amp.
🤘🏼😜
Does it go to stuff like drop c or B tunings?
It will. It works in Semi-tone increments of whatever tuning you’re using.
So if you’re in Drop D, use 2 Semi-Tones and you’ll be in Drop C.
🤘🏼😜

Does this work on bass
I would say it does, but not as well as it does for guitar.
I tested it on Bass in this Video ➡️ czcams.com/video/uD_ac2qX0Z4/video.htmlsi=yMQW9mULCwAYmyRX
🤘🏼😜
how’s the tracking? is it clean?
Fairly clean. It has minimal latency until you start to push it too far. 2-4 steps may be as far as you can really go without hearing flub.
🤘🏼😜
WHAT STRAP IS THAT
Its the Richter Straps “Spring Break”!
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic thanks man it looks so cool i want one for my lp
So your telling me going drop D will just get even heavier with this pedal?
Well… yeah! 🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic letsss gooo sounds like a great investment 🤘
@vero_8525 Ha! It is! Especially if you don’t want to lug multiple guitars or you use a guitar that’s unable to easily change tunings. Like a Floyd Rose or an EverTune.
🤘🏼😜
I didnt notice a pitch change
You must be tone deaf, and I'm not trying to insult you
Now in bass
I tested it on Bass in a Recent Video.
I would link it here but CZcams disabled links. Head to my channel and look under “Gear Talk” and you’ll find a “Drop Test” video.
🤘🏼😜
What song is this
Just something I made up for the demo. 🤷🏻♂️
🤘🏼😜
Sick man make it a song it’s amazing
@GooseGangster14 Im glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
🤘🏼😜
This pedal was built for Floyd rose owners
EverTune Users as well!
It certainly helps! 🤘🏼😜
Does it do half step shifts?
Yes. 🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just get the Digitech whammy
You could, if you can afford the space it takes and you don't mind using the proprietary power supply it requires. 🤷♂️
Morpheus
Neo 🤘🏼😜
That pedal is for djent and thall
I think its a bit more versatile than just those genres. I think it works great for pretty much any genre that doesn’t require super super clean guitar tones. I feel like the processing is most noticeable when playing super clean.
🤘🏼😜
The low interval limits are hahahaing Xd
Im not sure what’s happening at the end there…. I hope you’re okay. 😆
🤘🏼😜
So I can play one string and drop the pitch 😂 almost like DAW
It will drop the pitch of your entire signal. So all strings will drop in pitch.
🤘🏼😜
Real tone sucker. But no one in the audience will notice it, right?
I have't noticed that its a tone sucker at all... 🤘😜
"Without draining bank account"?? ...$330 in Australia
Order it from the states and have it shipped, is probably cheaper.
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic alot of it is usually the currency exchange rate. Oz is currently at AU$1.52, to US$1. The rest is greed ...cos they can.
Ouch.. I’m sorry.
I’ve definitely heard others explaining that some of the gear I talk about is expensive in Australia.. now this makes a bit of sense..
Hopefully you can get your hands on one for a decent price. 💪🏼
🤘🏼😜
No shift up for a Royal Blood attempt? 😒
Nope…. “Drop”… ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🤘🏼😜
So they got rid of the need of having several other guitars those bastards
Ha! Thats a good point! More guitarists should be offended by this!! 😆
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic I'ma keep this a secret from some people 😂 my excuse still stays
@dr.slimewise7650 😉😉😉
Pretty cool but sounds a bit digital
When you drop it lower than 2 semitones you definitely start to hear the processing.
But you won't find a transposition pedal that does the job any better until you get into AxeFx / Kemper Realm. These processors have the power to process the info "better" and so faster.
Thanks for watching!
🤘🏼😜
What no one tells you is that this horrible for an acoustic electric with piezo under saddle.
You know, that didnt even occur to me… great point. I’ll have to see if I can get ahold of an acoustic to try some stuff.
🤘🏼😜
I have the whammy upgrade fuzz your brain to a comma
😳😳😳
Whoa! Sound awesome!
🤘🏼😜
Also damn near 300$
I got mine second head for 120 bucks. 🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic from a store or an individual?
@terryflaps4492 From an individual.
There’s almost no point buying something Second Hand from a Store.. unless its a Rare Item… otherwise they mark it up so high that you might as well buy it New.
🤘🏼😜
True that
Not everyone has $240 😭😭😭
You can find them second hand for cheaper all over the place.
Also sites like ➡️ www.zzounds.com have credit "No Credit" payment plans. So like 6 months of $17 or something.
There are NO EXCUSES!! 😈
🤘🏼😜
I don't have to buy 5 guitars 😅
Well no one said anything about not needed more guitars! 🤘🏼😜
Wayne are u alive?
Too heavy☠️
🤘🏼😜
mine sounds more like a hamanizer pedal
Like you can hear more than one signal?
Cuz its definitely not supposed to do that…. 🤔
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic yah I can hear the original tone and the pedal tone on my amp
The only setting you should hear 2 pitches is the 50/50 Octave setting..
Do you hear on all of the other settings?
If so, something is wrong.
Lemme know.
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic I'm only trying to make it sound like my guitar is a half step down and I hear it almost like either a harmonic like I hear the wet and dry at the same time on the amp
If the sound is bleeding through in your amps signal path, than the pedal is defective.
Are you also hearing your guitar naturally from the guitar itself? Like “acoustically”?
Then you just need to turn up the volume on your amp or use headphones..
Thinkin that might be part of the issue..
Sorry you’re having trouble with it…
Let us know how it goes.
🤘🏼😜
I heard no difference
Do a tone deaf test
