This allows you to harmonize, pitch shift, and either down tune or to tune up (similar to using a capo). This pedal tracks excellently with no glitching like the Digitech Whammy 4. I haven't had it for too long so I cannot vouch for the durability; only time will tell. However this pedal is worth it for the pitch shifting alone to get those Rage Against the Machine or Dimebag (Pantera) sounds. But the fact that it also allows you to change tunings all the way from an octave down to an octave up is what sold me. Because I have a Floyd Rose guitar, it is impossible to drop your tuning on the fly and this pedal allows you to do so. You can change your tuning while effectively using the pitch shifting or harmonizing modes as well. Great pedal

Long story short, if you want a really good chorus, harmonizer and a 12 string emulator in one pedal, buy it. I bought this for the detune function mainly, and I find it lacking, due to the fact that it copies the signal and mixes it, translation... You hear the octive of your original signal, so power chords are interesting, but single notes are really noticably harmonized, like it or not, this would be an awesome device if you could separate the dt and harmony function, opens lots of possibilities for nu metal stuff.. I'll keep it for kicks and grins, but if you are looking for a straight detune, keep looking.

I was originally looking of a v5 Digitech Whammy, after reading reviews about the difference between v5 and v4. After seeing this Whammy DT that was an "open-box" special for the same price as the v5 Whammy, I decided to try the upgrade. I'm glad I did. The Whammy features work as expected, but the drop-tune is really helpful for me as some of my favorite artists (like Stevie Ray Vaughn and Thin Lizzy) recorded a half-step lower than standard tuning. One click and I can go from a .38 Special song in standard to a Thin Lizzy song down a half step. My only complaint in the location of the "Momentary" button, which is below the drop tune button. I've had it for a couple weeks and still haven't plumbed the depths of possibilities with this pedal. Definitely will stay in my pedal chain. Edit: After playing with it a while, there are a couple of very minor issues - the pedal is thin, and if you have a fat foot (like me), you can accidentally move the knobs on the tuning or whammy sides of the pedal while you're pressing down on it. Also, the pedal is sometimes difficult to move back to the heel position, but that's probably me not being so familiar with the pedal. Overall, my recommendation stands.Read full review

The pedal arrived sooner than expected! The quality is exactly as it was listed (open box; basically brand new) and worked flawlessly right out of the box. Very easy to use and setup. I can finally play some of those crazy Tom Morello solos. Couldn't ask for more!

This pedal is terrific. Very easy to learn and intuitive. It has two sides: on the left, you have your whammy/harmony effects, with some nice chorus-y sounding detune effects thrown in for good measure. On the right, you have your detune effects where you can go up or down seven semitones, or a full octave higher or lower, with or without dry signal. This means you can instantly take your standard tuned guitar down to C, or B, or hell, even A if you're TRVLY CVLT. You can play an octave lower with dry signal and voila, you now have a bassline running underneath your guitar. I bought this pedal because I love whammy effects, and originally was going to buy the Whammy 5, but this is that pedal PLUS the detune effects. This is especially useful with Floyd Rose or other floating bridge guitars. We all know what a pain in the @$$ those things are to tune.Read full review
