The Drop : Best at what it does

5 years ago

I use this pedal to play songs in Drop A on my guitar tuned to Drop D (5 semitones). I also use it on bass and if you're curious, for me it hits it's limit after taking a low A any lower than 2 semitones (still fairly impressive). At the time of this review (mid 2020), I believe this is the best pedal for this job, and definitely at this price range.

It isn't 100% perfect, playing chords at more extreme settings produces some artefacts, however, there isn't really anything else on the market that can pitch shift this low, while retaining playability AND sound quality as high as the Drop.

Seems to be built solid like a tank, wouldn't really be worried about breaking it.
