pedals

Duff_Man

hey i was just wondering if there are any pedals you can buy to alter the tuning of a guitar? for eg: a guitar is standard tuning dropped to Eb and the click of a stomp box? is it possible or just wishful thinking?

Digitech whammy or pitch shifting pedal will do something similar but it would sound fairly crap if you're playing a whole song with it. The new Fender Virtual strat can do that.

Variax guitar.

so there would be nothing i could use to pllay whole songs tuned down without actually tuning down? i was lookin at that phase shifter alrite but wasnt to sure if it would work

Didnt steoob have this exact same thread before?

The Digitech whammy can do a full step down so Eb standard. Sounds like crap though. If you want proper true pitchshifting then you need a Roland GK synth and hex pickup... AFAIK the virtual strat has a midi pickup (if its the same thing im thinking of)

A phase shifter is just a phaser, it doesnt modulate the guitars fundamental pitch in any way.
