Great polyphonic pitch shifter

Droptune can drop 1 up to 7 steps down from your current tuning. (E standard down to A standard), an octave below mixed with original OR a straight octave below (as a decent sounding bass emulator - unlike most octave pedals). Perfect for playing along with songs and finding a song in Eb. step on the pedal and keep playing! It can sound a little modulated in the lower registers with a clean tone, but gain masks this.

This is a fantastic writing/ inspiration tool for experimenting with tones.
