GingerLefty Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Whatever tuning your Drop puts the guitar to, is what your DAW will record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have some pitch shifting that is meant for single notes not chords. Some people have tried using it polyphonic and have gotten it to work but anytime I try it like that there are digital artifacts. Line 6 has said they are working on polyphonic effects, probably including polyphonic pitch shifting but that might be a couple of updates away. (I'm really hoping the pitch shift will work with clean chords and also virtual capo) So try it and see if it works for you but it may not, also if you hear both the original pitch and new pitch at the same time check that the mix parameter is at 100%.

It's a great pedal. Have fun with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarbloke1980 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I have recorded in Logic using my Digitech Drop into the HX Stomp and it works great! The Line 6 Pitch Shift is not even close to being as good as the Drop pedal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsvette12 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 A pedal that will drop your tuning without actually detuning your strings on your guitar - guitar stays in standard tuning - I only need Eb - 1/2 step down for various songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
