Rock On!

@@meelo Idk, I'm not an expert, I've always just called it a detune pedal. I don't know what the difference between the two is. All I know for sure is that this is what you want and all you'll need besides a regular guitar cable.

If you know how to explain it to him then it's probably better you telling him than me

Yes, that link points to the Drop tune pedal.

But the link you originally gave pointed to this: https://www.amazon.com/DigiTech-Polyphonic-Bundle-Instrument-Polishing/dp/B079Y8VCZ9?th=1

And that's what confused me, and I'm sure @@PinKushin was confused by that as well. Perhaps you fixed the URL later on, but it originally pointed to the wrong pedal.

Got it, just a misunderstanding then. The link I gave must have defaulted to a different pedal which is why I was confused and had no clue what you were talking about. 

 

 

@@PinKushin To answer your question properly. No, you don't need the CabDry pedal, just the drop pedal. Here's the proper link this time:

 

https://amazon.com/Digitech-DROP-Compact-Polyphonic-Pitch-Shifter/dp/B00LXMN740/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1537213371&sr=8-4&keywords=digitech+drop+pedal

@@meelo @@Stark_Knight yep that's what was going on ty for the link. I was so confused. Probably won't get this pedal though. $180 is too steep for me. I'll probably just get some heavy gauge strings to throw on my OLP. Do really appreciate the advise though.

@@PinKushin No worries, just a simple miscommunication. I understand with the price though, maybe you'll get lucky and there will be a sale sometime. The best hobbies always end up being the most expensive.
