Morpheus DropTune

As soon as I got this thing I hooked it up. Did not read the manual, as it is pretty self explanatory. This effect drop tunes your guitar in 1/2 step increments. Can drop tune 3 1/2 steps. It has an octave drop and octaver. It has a trim level on the back to adjust the input of your guitar. Very simple to use.

For what I am using it for seems great. My intentions were to have this for practice. Eliminates the need for other guitars in different tunings. While I have other guitars, I just find it simpler. I hooked this thing up in front of the signal chain. Morpheus Droptune into the multi effects into the amp. I played at jam practice levels to live levels. Did not seem to alter my sound at all at 1/2 and 1 step down. I played briefly at 1 1/2 down and barely detected and alteration. More so in playing chords. I stepped down through the rest just to check them out, but spent no time on them, as I most likely will never use them. I did like the sound of the octaver playing clean. I see some future use for this.
I also hooked up my bass and bass guitar rig with this, and it worked great. I have a lot of different guitars and amps but the ones I used on this were a Shecter Diamond Series Gryphon, Rocktron Utopia G100 into a Crate Powerblock running a Genz Benz single 12 loaded with the Eminence Super V12. For the bass I ran my Epi Thunderbird with a Hartke HA3000 into a Ampeg SVT1510. I will try different variations later and maybe put it in the end of the signal path just to try it out, but feel that is better in the front. I will also try this out in a live situation as I do not see any problems with what I am using it for.

It seems to be built tough. Have not tryed no drop tests or anything and wont, I'm sure it will happen in its own time and time will tell. I cant imagine much going wrong other than the norm. Like the switches wearing out or something over time.

Could not tell ya. I never even heard of Morpheus until this baby came along. Dont see no need to get ahold of them.

Overall, I will rate this a great product for ease of use and such a brilliant idea. I just find it so much simpler to click a switch rather than trade up guitars and be off and running. As I said, I just got this and have only spent a little time with it. So time will tell. As of right now, if I lost it I would deffinately replace it. I dont think there is much out there as far as a similar product. If there is, I'm sure there is a heftier price tag on it.
The only downfall I see, is it does not take batteries. It is powered by a 12 volt power supply. Which means my normal 9 volt powered chain will not work, which means another adapter in the box. The adapter is very small though and will not get in the way.
I play classic rock, blues and mainstream rock. This will work great for anything we do. I even messed around with some Pantera and stuff just to check out the droptuning and loved it. I will rate it an 8 in this category just because of the no batteries deal.
