I didn't notice that and I'm British too... guess maybe I should go and do one of those silly tests that they put people through when they're applying for British citizenship to make sure I belong! 😆 I self-deprecate and am super cynical though so I should be ok...
@@davidmassey4572 Ah, I see... I live in the midlands and you do hear people use the word knob, especially followed by "head" or "end", sometimes "jockey". 😆
Awesome pedal! For me as beginner this is a great way to play around with detuned sounds without actually having to detune or buying a 7/8 string guitar!
Great content as always, and I love seeing more of the Sterling. Your video made me decide to pull the trigger on one… until I ended up with a JP15 & JPX-7 instead. I got a little carried away.
For me, going up the octave worked great. So good for doubling up lead parts on the high end, but the pitch shifting down was terrible, the tone is so muddy and the delay is so long. I bought it for the first purpose though and it’s useful for that!
would you say the donner can help turn a standard tuned guitar to drop D or C easily for metal riffs? I dont need more that that and was considering this pedal or the Mooer pitch box as a cheaper alternative to the digitech drop
8:44 "Canadian deathcore boi speedruns One by Metallica, 2021 colorized" Those pedals are surprisingly good tho, always nice to have a decent pitch shifter
Do they ship these pedals internationally? I like the pitchshifter, so many options packed into a small pedal, and the tone and tracking seem solid when downtuning. I guess the shipping might be too costly though to justify getting a cheap pedal. I was surprised when you played part of a "One" solo, Metallica were a band that got me into the metal genre. Great review.
Thanks for the info on these pedals by the way. I'm thinking of picking up the harmonic square for my 5 string bass to pitch shift down from drop G# to drop F# because I'm too poor to get a dingwall or other multiscales. How do you think this will sound for down tuning bass?
I have a dingwall and am looking for a pitch shift pedal to downtune to F# instead of going with a .170 string (cable lol). Did tou ever get this? If so how does it fair for bass?
@@kandem01 I did get it. Works great on guitar. Not so great on bass. You lose a lot of character and it doesn't know how to handle the frequency. And if you're already rocking a Dingwall with that gauge just tune down lol. I would understand if you wanted this pedal for the convenience of not having to retune, but I wouldn't recommend for bass.
I'm in love with the pitch shifter on my Fractal Audio FM3 unit. Hoping in a few years VST's will sound just as good as amp modelers, they're getting there...
Great video dude! Just wondering how much the octave pedal affect the tone, I would use it for all examples u did, but primarily to shift down, would the difference be noticeable?
I didn't notice a huge difference in tone, there will always be a bit of it with any pitch shift pedal and the "less" you shift the less noticeable it will be
@@BaenaCarcosa im looking into a pitch shifter pedal so I don’t have to buy a 7 string, what tuning should I be in to pitch down to drop a? Would drop b end up sounding too bad or should I go lower from the start and shift less?
Wtf, my donner harmonic doesn't sound that good. Its got tons of input lag and drops the tone to just dead. What could it be? Any reply from anyone in the comments would be helpful. Thanks!
I have one question. Have you noticed any latency or distortion issues when using it for down tuning? It’s a tad hard to tell in the video alone. I want a digitech drop tune but can’t afford it atm
So basically, could I use this harmonic square pedal to go from e standard to b standard whenever I want? Like just detune it and then shift it back up to e standard? I only have two guitars and when I play live, I can't just switch guitars for a different tuned song, I'm thinking of using this to just pitch shift.
I have the donner pitch shifter thing but there's a delay on it, not like a musical delay as in I play, dry signal comes out, then maybe 200ms later the wet sound comes out, which just makes it completely unplayable in a live setting. Do I have a faulty one or is it supposed to do this for whatever reason?
UGH, why didn't I see this months ago? I'm subscribed lol. I"m getting my digitech whammy DT tommorrow but I would have totally bought this when this video released. I'll rest easy knowing I have the full capabilities of the DT so I'm good with the outcome.
Got a question to all you experienced guitar dudes out there. I’ve Never messed with this type of pedals now I’m trying to play some Chevelle, Deftones, etc… . This shift pedals help get me to tuned down or up with messing with my standard tunings?
Did you notice any latency with the Harmonic Square? I just got one and there is a noticeable 100-200 ms delay between hitting the note and the wet signal playing. If I turn wet to 100% and dry to 0% it feels like I am playing a delay pedal with no repeats or something. It makes it really hard to play, which is disappointing because it sounds great!
@Zaamz I got a message from Donner saying they were working on a new version and would let me know when it was available, but I never heard an update. They did refund me $6 which is... something, but I would have rather just had a pedal that worked with no delay!

2000s: Drop B? That's low
2020s: Drop B? That's high
Real
Lol it is still super low.
We are going heavier
drop z coming soon
Fr lmao, got my baritone guitar vi in drop C#1 t h a l l bruthers
"let's crank that wet knob up a little bit more" as a Brit this slayed me 😂
As a American this slays me.

Baena please, stop making me buy more gear 😩😩😩
😢😢😢
At least these are cheap enough to buy. 🤘🏼
Andrew, thank you for demoing this pedal. Most people blend the wet and dry and I wasn't sure how those worked all the way off or on.

"for me drop b is pretty high tune"
So I am not the only one
No to jest nas trzech
I've gone to g1 and f#1 standard territory(nylon guitar), currently A1 std as in going lower makes the string flop
I’ve seen their pedals online but have never tried them….thanks for the review man, always on point and informative 🤘🏽 love that green revv
Great content as always, and I love seeing more of the Sterling. Your video made me decide to pull the trigger on one… until I ended up with a JP15 & JPX-7 instead. I got a little carried away.
That pitch modulator could be a game changer for me. I definitely can't afford 10 guitars but a $60 pedal sounds pretty good!
Got the donner soph gate after watching fluff's review and yeah $70 for an intelligent noise gate that kicks ass? Definitely worth it!

if i start in quarter step down can i go to standard tuning with the pedal? (i have a floyd rose and hate tuning it lmao)
Man i need this information too! Someone gotta respond.
I just picked up the octave pedal for 30$ usd on the Donner site, they having a Halloween deal today! Sick deal.
Good looking out. Ordered a bunch of stuff for so cheap because of that sale!

Bought the harmonic Square a few months back and no lie it's actually not bad at all
Have you had latency issues? I’ve been seeing some people say they have latency issues. but others say it’s great.

Ah, literally what I was looking for! Pitch shift for baritone....nice.
Finally decided to buy it, cant wait to try that out!
How was it
It was fine, works well, I have an Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork now. Amazing pedal @lancerutland2278
Cheers from Québec man, thank you for this content! Much needed since I only have 1 guitar.
Thanks for the video, great demonstration, these sound pretty good
Always great rewiews from you Andrew,..personal and Humble ;) cheers

nice that donner pitch shifter was my first pedal and still is
Can it set to half step flat?
yep. getting that octave pedal for my grunge setup. cannot lie. sounds really good oml.
Wtf, my donner harmonic doesn't sound that good. Its got tons of input lag and drops the tone to just dead. What could it be? Any reply from anyone in the comments would be helpful. Thanks!
Get a guitar with hotter pickups
@asthecitysleepsofficial emgs and Seymour Duncan nazgul sentient pickups were used. Those should be plenty hot.
Can you pitch shift up or down a half step?
The wave is a awesome pedal for the price!
Just might need these
well i am buying the harmonic square RIGHT NOW!!
pretty good alternative to the digitech drop id imagine!!
and for like a quarter the price!!
I have one question. Have you noticed any latency or distortion issues when using it for down tuning? It’s a tad hard to tell in the video alone. I want a digitech drop tune but can’t afford it atm
I just got mine in the mail yesterday actually and if there is any latency I don't notice any whatsoever.
does this works good on bass guitar as well? Im planning to use it more of a pitch shifter than a harmonizer.
@@jeremiahdagcutan7759yup
Dude! I totally forgot about how good you are with shredding.

i ran into the same problem, regretting buying this pedal because of it:( shouldve just got the digitech
Composure! I did not expect to hear you play August Burns Red! It's been a hell of a hot minute! Oh, that was music to my ears. XD
I knew I recognized parts of what he played here lol.
UGH, why didn't I see this months ago? I'm subscribed lol. I"m getting my digitech whammy DT tommorrow but I would have totally bought this when this video released. I'll rest easy knowing I have the full capabilities of the DT so I'm good with the outcome.
I love that you played Metallica in this demo. You are beautiful.
6:02 Composure by August Burns Red?
all i want it to do is make my guitar sound like it tuned down half step with out having a harmany effect or other effects will it do that
Does the pitch shift pedal work like a ricochet if I wanna do the weeeooweees?
Can we get a VS video with the harmonic square vs the boss octave? And maybe show us a small in the mix clip of each?
Got a question to all you experienced guitar dudes out there. I’ve Never messed with this type of pedals now I’m trying to play some Chevelle, Deftones, etc… . This shift pedals help get me to tuned down or up with messing with my standard tunings?
man i wish you wouldve given a heads up that theres a 5 ms delay/latency between the pitch shifter and the amp:( cant use that for a live setting
Can you put a 9v battery in it too or only with cable ?
is this okay for bass? I was eyeing the digitech drop but it only shifts down.
Nice riffage dude 🤘
Three years later and youre still making them money 🤣 but fr thanks for the demo and easy explanation
Loving the Colombian faction play through
Pretty sick my dude.
Nice nice demo! Donner is great. If u are on a budget, which I am always lol, this shit is perfect!
I like to pitch shift my breakdowns up, so they aren't too heavy
It seems like your giving up..... giving up on everything, YOU WORKED FOR!!! Sorry couldn't resist after hearing that ABR part.
im annoyed by the delay on the "wet" of the donner.
That abr riff 👀
Is it Possible to only Pitchshift my Guitar 2 half-steps down without any effects its just when i step on it, im in D instead of E
Yes, that is what's pitch shifting :)
I noticed the sneaky one solo

I don't recall there being latency, at least not noticable enough for it to bother me
@@BaenaCarcosa Thanks, on mine it was really noticeable so maybe I got a dud. I'll try contacting Donner or exchanging it for a new one.

Has anyone tried the donner square on vocals?
Same 2 donner I bought lol
MOOER pitch box also is good!!
Damn for 60 bucks I'm impressed
i have a Doner Noise Suppresor and it is FOOLISH/ ZERO TONE SUCKING
good look
The latency on mine is absolute shit. It makes it unusable.
play doom with 6 string guitar using that
Columbian faction is one of my favorite riffs
But do they djent
Did you watch this video without your ears?? 😂 djenty as fuq
Lol Columbian faction would've been my go-to for testing that pitch shift as well
The Loud Sonic love >>>>>
He has designed all of Carcosas artwork as well
@@BaenaCarcosa hell yeah he did! Been following his work for a while
Petal doesnt justify ur using a mesa use a cheap amp
You with a six string weird lol
Is it me or does it look weird u holding a six string???
It's the 3 legged dog effect!😵
An amateur would be scared shitless---you are too advanced with drop D --HOW ABOUT JUST NORMAL PITCH SHIFTER for beginners ?
