Drop Your Tone, Not Your Action!

Get quick and precise pitch shifting from the DigiTech Drop guitar effects pedal. Rather than dealing with flabby strings that rattle against your fretboard and clatter on your pickups or futzing with your tuners between songs, all you have to do is step down on your Drop pedal to get the tuned-down chunk you crave with the playing action you demand. Nine settings give you 1-7 semitones of polyphonic down tuning plus settings for one octave down with or without dry signal. One thing about the Drop pedal that the effects nuts here at Sweetwater really dig is the mini toggle switch, which lets you set the footswitch to momentary (Tap) or latch (Hold). That gives you a ton of great ways you can use the DigiTech Drop pedal to use in your rig.

DigiTech Drop Pitch Shifter Guitar Effect Pedal Features:

  • A polyphonic, multi-mode downward pitch-shifter guitar effect pedal
  • Settings 1-7 provide 1 to 7 semitones of downward pitch shifting
  • 2 additional settings provide octave down shifting with or without dry signal
  • Hold/Tap switch lets you select momentary or latching footswitch operation
  • True-bypass switching preserves your tone when the effect is bypassed

Great fun pedal

Really fun pedal to just play around with when using the momentary mode but also beats having to bring multiple guitars to a gig or tune in the middle of a set . When playing through a mix it's virtually undetectable that it's from a pedal and not actually tuned down. Its size is perfect and fits well on pedal boards, simple and easy to use, perfect purchase if you have one song in a set that's it a different tuning. Bonus points just because it looks cool as well.
Rated 5/5

Great for quick lower-end adjustments

On a rare occasion I need to hit a lower-than-E note on my 4 string bass, and I dont particularly like detuning to another key, so this DigiTech Drop Tune is fantastic for allowing me to hit, say a low Eb, by either momenetary or an on/off switch. Its like a capo for your foot lol

Digitech drop rules

I been using it on bass.. I have enjoyed it very well. It can at time sound kind of watbaly but if you pair it with compression and then eq it in your daw it sounds preety awesome. I tried it on guitar one day and it was fun too.. you can get away with about three semi tones down on the basss or use it to simulate a 5 string bass. This pedal is very fun.

Outstanding Pedal

I purchased this pedal for Rocksmith so I don't have to constantly tune all the time, save some wear and tear on my strings since bass sets aren't cheap, and it does everything I need it to do. In just a couple seconds I can pitch shift from standard to D or even lower. The signal does get a bit muddled on bass when shifting super low on my four string bass but definitely not nearly as bad when I use the five. When paired with my Hipshot bass extender I can shift to D drop C in seconds and back to standard in the same amount of time. Great pedal if you don't own multiple instruments that you can keep in different tunings, or don't want to switch between songs when playing live, at home, or in the studio.

Always on the board

Great pedal as a whole. Sturdy and easy to use. I personally go through pedals like crazy and this one is a keeper, no doubt! Settings 1,2,3 and octave+dry are amazing. Semitones 4-7 you can tell it starts sounding a little digital but has to potential to create other worldly sounds. Also includes 9V adapter. Thanks DigiTech & Sweetwater! (FYI you can hear your guitar at lower volumes while drop tuned. Takes getting used to it you're not at a loud volume or using headphones.)
