![]() ![]() There’s a slight shimmer to the sound, almost like a tiny bit of chorus has been added. For example comparing the sound of a 7-string guitar tuned to B with that of a 6-string guitar tuned to E but dropped using the DropTune is a bit like comparing 2 JPG photographs at 2 different resolutions, one high and one low. However, I don’t think this is an entirely transparent process there are definite artefacts in the sound. As a polyphonic pitch shifter it has to alter the pitch of a complex wave form containing multiple notes played at once. I have to say, the sound quality isn’t at all bad considering what this pedal is trying to achieve. ![]() Instead here are some of my experiences with the DropTune. You can read a detailed explanation of the features of the pedal on the Morpheus web site so I won’t go over the same ground here. Even better, because the DropTune is capable of lowering the tuning of your guitar sound in half step decrements you can play in a number of dropped tunings without retuning or swapping guitars. The Morpheus DropTune is an interesting pedal which – at least on the face of it – offers players of 6-string guitars the possibility of entering the world of 7-string tone without investing in a 7-string guitar. There’s also PDF instructions for the upgrade and a scan of the manual that came with the pedal. If you use the upgrade and subsequently damage your DropTune I can’t be held responsible. I have added the last firmware update I got at the end of this post. If you are considering buying one of these be warned. Update: It looks like the makers of the DropTune have gone out of business. ![]()
