Axe3 Droptuning - as good as/better than Digitech Drop/Whammy?

[JustinAiken]

For using a pitchblock just to drop the tuning from E Standard to D Standard or the like..

- How's the quality on the Axe3? Improved over the Axe2?
- How's the latency? Same, or lower?
- Is it good enough that we can ditch Drop pedals? (I could never get the Axe2 quite there, even with the attack envelope trick... Drop pedal ended up being the only thing I used along with the Axe)

I’ve never used a Drop so I can’t comment on how it compares.

So many topics about this already....

Sorry, I'd searched for "drop tuning" instead of "pitch shift"

yup... I was wondering the same thing. would be great not have to use a whammy dt on top of the Exp. Pedals.

I’d really like to get a Drop to compare it but not willing to shell out $180 right now.

I have one. Send me your demo unit and I will let you know,

I'm planning on selling mine.. I'll send it to you to do all kinds of A/B clips first if you'll ship it to whoever I sell it to after

I'm definitely curious on the latency compared to the Axe2
