Pedal Recommendation - Pitch Shift

[gibson5413]

I am looking to add a pitch shift to my pedalboard. I bring two to three guitars to gigs, but I thought it might be nice to add this effect if some stages are too small for multiple guitars. I am only looking to go down a half step to a full step. I know most people discuss the Digitech Drop pedal. Are there any others? I see that Electro Harmonix has the Pitch Fork pedal. I have been watching some videos but would love to hear from you all. Thoughts?

Drop works great for what you want

The Drop is what you need. The Pitch Fork is more like a harmonizer.

The Drop gets my vote as well. Have been using one for years.

Thanks guys! I will take a look at the Drop pedal. I've heard that the lag and feel really drop off past a half step and/or a full step with these pedals. I have always just taken multiple guitars but I am playing with a new band that does corporate gigs and weddings and they really want to have as little on stage as possible.

That has been my experience. Going down a 1/2 step is fine, a full step is noticeable but still OK, and past that requires some EQ adjusting for me.

Consider an HX one…. Not much more than a drop and the poly capo is fantastic. And the you get a whole army of other options to use at your discretion as well

I use poly capo a full octave down to fake Djent all the time. Is it perfecf? No but more than sufficient for live
