Detail 01
8.2 x 7.7 inch footprint
Roughly the width of two standard pedals and deeper than most, so plan a full row for it.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Digital pitch-shifting pedal that adds Whammy bends and instant drop tunings. For players who change tunings mid-set or want dive-bomb pitch effects.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Sets that jump between standard, Eb and drop tunings
- Riff players wanting octave dives without a trem bar
- One guitar covering songs written in several tunings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small or full pedalboards — the footprint is large
- Players after warm analog drift; the tracking is digital
- Anyone who only ever plays in one tuning
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
3.5 lbs
Heavy enough to stay put on a bare floor, and enough to notice in a loaded gig bag.
Detail 03
24-bit A/D and D/A conversion
Your dry signal is converted in and back out, so it sits after buffers rather than first in a pure analog chain.
Detail 04
Drop tune function
Shifts everything down a set interval while you keep playing standard shapes and open strings.
Detail 05
Whammy pitch bending
Treadle-swept pitch shifts, from subtle bends to full octave dives, on any note including open chords.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your board first — 8.2 inches wide eats most of a row
- 02Leave a spare slot on your power supply for it
- 03Digital pitch shifting tracks cleanest on single notes and clean tones
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this instead of retuning my guitar live?
Yes — that's the drop tune function. It shifts your pitch down so you play standard fingerings and open strings while sounding in a lower tuning.
02Does it do both whammy effects and drop tuning?
Yes. The treadle handles Whammy pitch bends and dives, and the drop tune side gives you fixed downward shifts without touching the tuners.
03How much pedalboard space does it need?
8.2 inches wide, 7.725 inches deep, 2.35 inches tall. That's about two standard pedals wide and deeper than most, so budget a full row.
04Is the pitch shifting analog or digital?
Digital, with 24-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. Your signal is converted going in and coming back out.
