Ampero Stage/Stomp owners: Can it do reasonable pitch shifting?

Looking for something to play around with that is an update on my HXFX. 

Ampero Stage ticks a lot of boxes with a touchscreen and a mobile app for editing...BUT I really need it to be able to do a virtual capo like the HXFX. Basically I want it to downtune my guitar by a semitone for some Eb tunes.

Nothing really all that clear on the youtube demos.

Do you know if the pitch-shifting is reasonable? Doesn't have to be perfect, just workable in a band mix.

My Ampero Stomp is superb. I genuinely love it more than any similar device I've owned, and that includes the HX Stomp. 

Instantly getting a great amp sound is so much easier than the Line6. 

Alas the pitch effects are the weakest part of the system. I can recommend it for everything else, but not pitch. 

I'd have another look at the pitch stuff tomorrow and update with my attempt at a virtual capo.

Thanks.

Since posting this I had a look on the Ampero facebook group and it seems that nearly everyone says that the pitch effects are not much good.

It's a shame because everything else is superb. It doesn't affect me because I rarely use pitch effects.
