Each pedal touches on a similar idea but approaches it differently- AM 'does chorus very right', and Luxe does very cool poly detune. Get details and the lowest price on the DigiTech Luxe Polyphonic Compact Detuner Pedal.

Dialing down the vibe of the AM didn't make it sound like the Luxe, and dialing up the detune/level of the Luxe didn't sound much like the AM. This comparison highlighted the 'constant' nature of the Luxe detune.

The AM chorus is beautifully rich and full, tolerates signal chain changes surprisingly well, and is adjustable for a wide range of vibe and character. Update2: I mentioned this pedal to a friend, and was asked 'how does it compare to a *really good* chorus?' - the helpful friend lent me an analog man 2-knob chorus. Update1: it works with the 300ma output of the Pedal Power ISO-5, but not with the lower current rated ports.

Very simple controls here - just plus or minus on the Detune pitch, and a Level dial to control how strong the effect is. Then, if I just rock the expression pedal off the heel slightly, there is an awesome detune/chorus effect, with the added bonus of a tone knob, which many chorus pedals do not have. The Luxe takes the Polyphonic Detune effect straight out of DigiTech's legendary Whammy pedal, and gives it its own compact enclosure - to help you enhance and thicken your tone. With the switch set to momentary, you can turn the Drop into a true performance pedal. Get down-tuned chunk without having to change guitars The Drop also features a momentary/latching switch.

But - for the lovely noise I'll add a snarl of additional wire to my pedal board (and toss my old chorus pedals out to Craigslist) I set my EX-7 to the Whammy setting, set the effect to 'detune' (left knob), set the tone to noon (middle knob), and set the mix to noon (right knob). The DigiTech® Drop is a dedicated polyphonic drop tune pedal that allows you to drop your tuning from one semitone all the way down to a full octave. I've not tested to see if a high-current cable can make it work with my Pedal-Power supply (it definitely doesn't work with it 'stock'). My sole complaint is that it requires use of the supplied wall-wart (apparently it draws a lot of 9v). I especially like the subtle end of the range for jazzing up single-coils (even all the way to 'ersatz 12-string' if you need it). The Luxe takes the detune effect from the popular Whammy. From 'sparkle like new strings' to a 'full-on twang' up through 'enough with the martian noises already' there is a lot of fun in the box. The DigiTech Luxe is an anti-chorus, DigiTechs first standalone, compact, polyphonic detune pedal. While I like chorus as an effect, I really don't like how touchy they can be, most I've tried have very small 'sweet spots' that aren't tolerant of significant changes elsewhere in the signal chain.Īfter watching to the 'puff piece' videos on youtube, (recommended) I decided to give this a try.Īlthough not an 'always on' effect, most people will find it addictive.
