The Drop : Very useful pedal to have!

7 years ago

Considering i have only one guitar and play mainly metal ( which requires many different tuning's ) , i needed this pedal so i don't have to hassle between switching tuning every ten minutes or buying several more guitars. And this pedal is a life saver!

I can switch from standard E to standard B in a matter of seconds, and every half-step in between!

Pros:

Features : extremely useful for guitar players who love to use lower tuning and don't want to buy more guitars.

Quality : This thing is built solid and looks like it could handle elephant stomping over it !

Sound: Latency is minimal and hard to notice. Maybe if you shred faster than Shawn Lane you could notice it.

Cons:

Sound : If your amp is really quiet, you can hear both your guitars sound and your amplifier's sound mixing, and since they are in different tuning's it can be a bit irritating. Solution is easy, just raise the volume of your amp!

Features : It would be really cool if this thing had feature to just switch tuning of low E string ( ex: going to drop D ) . But that's just me being picky !

Overall:

While this thing is not perfect substitute for having another guitar, it is really good alternative and great thing to have ! I recommend it to anyone who is in similar situation to me.
