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.

[@MadManMusic]

Right! It really is helpful! 🤘🏼😜

[@polytrave]

well i have that problem right now and i thought about the whammy ricochet (not the drop) do you think that will do?

[@jpgtr84]

@@polytrave I have not used that personally so I am not sure the viability of that pedal.

[@vanlopes1687]

@@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.

[@henriklmao]

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.

[@MadManMusic]

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.

Does it go to stuff like drop c or B tunings?
