From the Whammy lineage to the modern drop tuning tool
Building on the innovative heritage of DOD (since 1973) and DIGITECH (since 1984), the Drop condenses the expertise of the famous Whammy into a compact format dedicated to down-tuning. It naturally fits into the DIGITECH range as the simplest and fastest solution to play lower without adjusting tuning pegs or needing a second guitar.
For which musicians and uses?
Ideal for rock, metal, hardcore, doom, stoner, or modern pop guitarists and bassists who alternate tunings. On stage, it allows switching from standard tuning to drop tuning with a single tap. In the studio and rehearsals, it speeds up experimentation with lower arrangements while remaining comfortable on a compact pedalboard.
Features and handling
The Drop offers a rotary selector to choose the amount of transposition (from « -1 » semitone to « -1 oct »). A mini-switch toggles between « Momentary » mode (effect active while holding the footswitch) and « Latching » mode (classic on/off). True bypass preserves your tone when the pedal is off. The 6.35 mm jack connectivity integrates into any effects chain, and the included 9 V power supply ensures immediate use.
Built in a sturdy metal chassis, the pedal withstands touring demands. Its 44.1 kHz digital processing guarantees clean and detailed reproduction, whether you play open chords, tight palm-mutes, or melodic lines.
Sound character
The Drop's character is
neutral and precise: it lowers pitch while preserving attack, dynamics, and midrange clarity. The response remains solid on bass frequencies, with controlled latency that maintains a natural playing feel. Its polyphonic tracking ensures stable chords without fluctuations or unwanted « warble » effects, delivering convincing tones from the clearest clean sounds to the densest saturations.
