BUT - it has a major problem with power supply noise on a shared supply, even with isolated outputs. It needs its own fully separate, directly mains-powered supply.
Actually he may be interested in selling it, since we've stopped playing any songs that need it… if that hasn't put you off it too much!

Ah well if he's interested in selling ask how much he'd want for it, this could be of major interest to me!
Reckon I'll be ok for demo'ing and stuff? Not sure I'd use it to record with in a proper studio though. We tracked yesterday using the Tele physically tuned to drop b but the strings were 10's and a bit flappy. Sounded good though when double tracked against humbucker guitars.
The pedal costs £109 from what I can see, for recording a cheaper alternative would just be to get the nut cut for slightly thicker strings, 11-56 is usually fine on Fender scale instruments for drop C, or even drop B so long as you don't play like a gorilla. YMMV - but I've not been unhappy with the performance when going back to 10-46 strings for standard with a nut cut for those strings.
I don't really want to mess about with it by cutting the nut which is why I was looking around for a pedal. If the nut was wider for a 56 then surely a 46 in standard would be wiggling about a bit?
I've cut them for as big a string as a 75 baritone string and it's still fine restrung with a 46.

Sounds more hassle than its worth.
