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
This is probably the best demo of this pedal on RUclips. 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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
My aren't you looking clean cut today!
I didn't expect to see you here
+Spoder Man i didnt expect you either
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.
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?
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.
Now i can djent with a 6 string with 09's gauge!
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.
For a channel called riffs beards and gear, there not a lot of beard material.
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!
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.
your sound was incredible, with and without this pedal. Just awesome tone!
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.
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
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.
Love the riff man!Sounds killer in every single tuning!
Best pedal for years honestly. I dont need to take 4 guitars to my rehearsal anymore. Just 2 (Drop Tuning for sure). Love it
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?
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.
I justed wanted to know, though if I am asking this silly question as I am beginner. Where should I place this Pedal, in my pedal board chain???
My recent Chain is-- Distortion>>>Overdrive>>>Smartgate>>>Chorus>>>Delay>>>Wah..
????
The manual says it should come first in your signal processing chain, this means you should connect your guitar to it directly. All other pedals, preamp or effects come next. That makes absolute sense, because then The Drop will see the direct tones. Otherwise the polyphonic algorithm might have issues pitch shifting with good results. I could imagine that some owners, who seem to be unsatisfied, are using it in the wrong place of the signal chain...
Hey Fluff, what would you say is better. Actually down tuning your guitar or getting this pedal? What would you recommend?
so can this play from Standard tuning to, drop C and Drop B? any feedback from owners?thanks! im playing different tuning and looks like this is a good pedal
From what I'm aware, it only drops the tone 100 cens each time. Standard would then sound like half step down, then whole step down etc. So you need to have your guitar tuned to drop tuning to keep it dropped when going through the pedal.
Hey, does this pedal add buffer/lag/latency between played notes? Don't know how this pedal works but software plugin pitch effects usually add quite a bit of lag/buffer/latency because of the processing it has to do.
great demo, so glad to hear there is finally a drop tune pedal that's finally worth the money.
Hey Fluff!
Just wondering man, did you have it tuned in E standard to begin with or were you in C sharp?
Does the knob go by half steps?
Like eB to D to C# to A etc?
Hey, Fluff, do you recommend this pedal for recording purpose?
Fluff, did you find that the Drop pedal offered the same quality as Kemper's pitch shifting effect? I have a Kemper as well and wondered if you compared the two. Is the Drop pedal better or on par with the Kemper in regards to latency and tone changes?
the faces as it drops are awesome - sounds like it tracks pretty well
Does it makes any kind of noise fron amp/ground noise when plugged into guitar?
Hey Fluff! Got a quick question. I saw this demo and thought this pedal was pretty sick. So I looked up other demo and reviews on it. I've read good reviews, but couldn't find any good demos. I'm assuming that's because Most of the demos I found the guitarist didn't seem to have a good time, which leads to my question. Will this tone affect your tone drastically or not? This might seem like a stupid question, but I'm kinda ignorant on pedals and not much of a gear head.
+Donnivan Kim 3:03
Got this a few months ago. Love it! Finally gott to play those C# Black Sabbath riffs!
I love how plectrum just falls of his headstock at 1:08
(lmao, noticed it rewatching this video for 100th time)
Very impressed with this pedal, Also one of the better videos to display how well it works.
Good job fluff!
Might be a silly question, but this pedal doesn't do half-steps right? Say I'm in standard, I can't drop to Eb right?
What? No drop Q? XD
LOL!!!
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!
Great review man, exactly what I was looking for. Cheers for keeping it simple and short.
Best review!! Do u recommend before or after distortion pedals? Thks!!
Question. Why was it in C tuning? That’s got me all screwed up, can there still be drop D#, or drop D?
Does the pedal respond alright to bending the strings? I've noticed out of the majority of pitch shifters can't maintain or completely ignore bending the notes.
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!
Hey Fluff, how did you record this for the first example? mic on the cab (distorted signal)--> interface input.
and then for reamping, out of interface -->Drop---> Interface in? or....? Recorded the dry signal using a DI (and at the same time monitor yourself with the distorted amp sound, that would justify the mean expressión on your face while playing), and then re amp it through the Drop --> Rev --> mic--> and then go back to the input interface to print what we are hearing?
I would love to watch how this thing response on a solo situation, how does it track fast notes and specially when bending.
Thanks a lot, great review!
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 😆
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.
How does this compare to the drop section of the Whammy DT? Is it basically the same circuitry (but with added pitch 'up' as well as 'down')?
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.
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!
Hello! First
of all congratulations for the video, I'm from Brazil, this pedal goes
up and down the tones from a main tone that I'm playing is it? Here
in Brazil is very difficult to find this pedal very much, but the
application is very worthwhile ... Thanks for the video and God bless.
I keep hearing very spacey sounding notes on the higher strings. Is there certain amp settings I should look for to avoid this? Thanks
You can go from standard tuning to droc c? With this pedal?
Very good review Ryan, it's the first time i see your video, my congratulations from Brazil.
Hi Ryan, nowadays I play in drop C# and wonder if the pedal can be used by a drop tuned guitar?
I'm new to guitar and confused with something, let's say i'm playing harmonic minor scale positions and dropped tone with this pedal. do i still play harmonic minor scale with different key in same positions? Sorry for bad english..
u play the same thing but everything for example two steps lower
One of my pupils got this because he likes metal and many songs are in lower tunings. But when he came to test it with me i noticed that playing one note another one sounded together like an octave higher or something like that. Any suggestion? Maybe bad pedal?
Im horrible at changing strings and I hate retuning haha this could be my salvation? I used to have a pitchfork but was horrible for low tunings. Any whammy that is good for low and high? Thanks!
great reviews , I have a question , is possible use this pedal if you are tuning already in drop like drop C ? or it work only in standard tuning ? thank you so much
It does not matter
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
I have a whammy pedal and a guitar with a floyd. I'm assuming it would be ok to also throw in a drop pedal considering that there's already a whammy/drop combo pedal. I don't want to get that though because I already have a whammy so it would be way cheaper to just also get a drop. There isnt anything wrong with that right? It wont sound weird or anything when using a whammy while the drop is on?
Just a question, how does the pedal know which string you are playing? How does it know to drop the tuning on the 6th string but not on say the 5th string?
jasper426 Oh that makes much more sense now that I think about it
what I really want to know that doesn't seem to be addressed in any video I have seen yet, does it track fast lead parts properly? seems to be great for riffs and chords.
Do you put this pedal in the FX loop or connect it with your other pedals?
How about the power adaptor of this pedal, is it the standard 110 to 240 volts? Or a 220 only.
Great video and a amazing pedal. Great way to play kind off dark guitar music.
Where did you get you backing tracks from, especially the drums?
The more and more I hear the intro riff the more I love it.
Do you think it's a good idea to use this pedal for recording other than live situations?
in which level of drop its starting to effect the latency? (sorry for bad english)
Do you recommend putting it on a pedal board. Would other pedals in the loop cause more latency or effect the tone?
The musicality and harmonics are still there when detuning - Thanks for demoing this!!!!
Hey, I only need a pedal to detune half step down do D#. Should i buy this or some harmonizer?
I've been using a Morpheus Droptune for some years and have been quite satisfied. I cannot compare them where I am, have you got an opinion on it ? Cheers
was that a single coil or mini humbucker? actives or pasives?
Hey do u think the wammy dt with the drop tune side is as effective as the singular dt peddle?
Drums sound pretty good. Where are you getting them from? Also, i assume you're guitar is tuned to standard E-E?
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
How does it work? Would you need to play like you normally would in a drop tuned guitar?
Cool demo! How does this compare to the EHX Pitchfork and which is better?
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.
is this any different from the Whammy v??? I have Whammy V now but would be awesome to have a dedicated drop tuner! thanks for the time
How do you know what tune is each one that’s my only question as a new guitar player looking to play different tunes
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.
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.
you mention it can be used with a bass, but would there be any issues using it with an electro- acoustic?
I have a question about using the pedal, is there any way to contact you about it?
Own it for 4 years n love it
how can I get Eb tuning (half step down,D#,G#,C#,F#,A#,D#) with this pedal? THX
Hi. I'm looking for a pitch shifting pedal which sounds good with hi gain channel (only 1 or 2 steps down, altough 5 steps would be great O.o). The Drop sounds great but I would like an ability to pitch shift up (and maybe some funny features). Ricochet looks amazing but sadly it can't drop single steps... and whammy is too big -_- :D Are there any alternatives or The Drop just sounds best? :)
I have a question if my guitar is in drop c I can use this pedal to standard tuning?
Can the pedal make a guitar that is tuned a half step down sound like standard tuning? Looks like it only goes down?
The reason that this a great buy for a live setup is that 1. There is no time delays in between songs that require different tunings due to guitar switches. 2. You don't have to take multiple guitars to practice or gigs. 3. If you only have one guitar, you won't have to setup your guitar every time you want to play different songs with different tunings, especially if you have a floating trem system
Hi mate do you really like this pedal as I can't understand why, I've tried it twice the first time it sounded good at first but there was to much latency and it sounded robotic, i sent it back a year later somebody told me they had been working on it and sounded much better It didn't, I wished it did but i'll just have to carry my 3 guitars with me. sounds good on you tube but not for real i couldn't go out and play with a bad sound
@@rocksteady7546 i wouldn't record with it, but for a live situation or putting a demo together or just recording ideas, it's much easier. I only notice latency once it goes a fifth down or below
