HARMAN’s DigiTech Drop Pedal for Instant Drop-Tuning Now Shipping

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – HARMAN’s DigiTech today announced its Drop Pedal is now available. A dedicated polyphonic drop tune pedal, it allows guitar and bass players to instantly lower their tuning from one semitone all the way down to a full octave. With the Drop, guitarists can get down-tuned chunk without having to change guitars or re-tune between songs and bassists can delve into deep bass depths even lower than a five-string low B. Featuring polyphonic drop tune algorithms drawn directly from the legendary Whammy DT™ pedal, the Drop makes it easier than ever to get down.

“The DigiTech Drop shares its DNA with the iconic Whammy DT. We designed the Drop to offers a choice of eight drop tune and pitch-shifting intervals from one semitone (half-step) to a full octave down, plus an Octave + Dry mode that blends the original signal with another note an octave down. It also incorporates the same polyphonic pitch-shifting algorithms as the Whammy DT, to perfectly track notes and chords for precise drop-tuning performance with no glitching or lag,” said Tom Cram, Market Manager, DigiTech.

The Drop features a Momentary/Latching switch to create dazzling hammer-on and pull-off type effects. Players can instantly get a drop in pitch of the notes they’re playing by stepping on and holding the footswitch – then releasing it to instantly go back up to pitch to add dramatic musical impact.

The pedal also features true bypass operation, which keeps the pure tone of the instrument intact when the effect is not engaged. Its metal chassis is built to withstand night after night of constant gigging and its red LED is easy to see. The compact Drop is operated via its 9-volt input and included power supply.

The DigiTech Drop has a suggested retail price of $224.94.
