Description
Chasing a heavier riff mid-set usually means swapping guitars or wrestling with tuning pegs. The DigiTech Drop skips all that with a dedicated polyphonic pitch-shifting engine that tracks full chords — not just single notes — and drops your tuning cleanly in real time.
- Dial in anywhere from -1 semitone down to a full -7 semitones, or jump straight to a full octave below (with an option to blend in the dry signal for thickness)
- Effect Selector knob picks your drop amount on the fly
- Flip the Momentary/Latching switch and the footswitch becomes an expressive performance tool — hold it down for a quick pitch dip or trill, release to snap back to pitch
- 24-bit A/D/A conversion at 44.1 kHz keeps the tracking tight, even on chords and fast runs
- True bypass preserves your tone when the effect’s off
On the board, this sits early in the chain, before drive and modulation, so the shifted signal feeds your dirt pedals the way a genuinely detuned guitar would. Guitarists doing multi-tuning sets can leave the axe in standard and use the Drop to hit dropped-D, drop-C, or full octave-down breakdown tones without a second instrument. The momentary mode turns it into a whammy-style effect for live dive-bomb moments or rhythmic pitch stutters.
