DigiTech DROPBK Overview

Conveniently expand the range of tuning options available to you with a single foot press with the BlackDrop from DigiTech, a polyphonic drop tune pedal, now available in a limited-edition black finish. This pedal lets you detune your whole guitar across nine settings, from one semitone to a full octave.

Like a capo but in reverse, each setting drops the tuning of your entire guitar, letting you easily attain drop tunings for unique chord exploration, enhanced performance expressivity, and a chunkier, more powerful tone, all without needing to manually tune or change guitars. Along with seven drop tuning modes and an octave mode, you also get an Octave Down + Dry mode for an even thicker tone. True bypass ensures you maintain your pure tone, free from high-frequency tone suck, when bypassing the pedal. And with the Momentary switch, you can select between momentary or latching operation for your performance needs. The BlackDrop includes a 9V power adapter.

Momentary or Latching
Setting the Momentary switch to On will cause the Effect footswitch to act as a momentary switch (the effect will be enabled only as long as the Effect footswitch is pressed and held). Setting this switch to Off will cause the Effect footswitch to act as a standard latching on/off switch (the effect will be toggled on and off with each press of the Effect footswitch).
Drop Tuning Modes
The BlackDrop pedal offers 9 tuning modes, selected with the knob and indicated via 9 LEDs:

  • 1—Transposes guitar signal down 1 semitone
  • 2—Transposes guitar signal down 2 semitone
  • 3—Transposes guitar signal down 3 semitone
  • 4—Transposes guitar signal down 4 semitone
  • 5—Transposes guitar signal down 5 semitone
  • 6—Transposes guitar signal down 6 semitone
  • 7—Transposes guitar signal down 7 semitone
  • Oct—Transposes guitar signal down 1 octave
  • Oct+Dry—Transposes guitar signal down 1 octave and adds dry signal
