with detuning, I find a little goes along way. I'd never use anything lower than a drop c# tuning I think. maybe such pedals will provide the lower tones, but keep definition and string tension. its an exciting possibility!

Sounds to me like the top end goes a bit weird, but certainly would be a very cool addition to a live rig.... if only it was MIDI controlled! :)

Seems to me that it starts tubby and just gets tubbier and lacks the growl of a guitar resonating at low frequencies. Dont like.

Hmm, very interesting! looks like I don't have to go through an entire string change and setup on my floyded 7 string in order to play Meshuggah now!  :D

Also, for a working band who want to branch out (or maybe specialise) in rock / metal covers, they won't need to carry a full quiver of guitars around any more, saving stage space and limiting loss / breakage of multiple instruments in the event of theft / van crash etc. Very neat.  :lol:
