Obligatory I need to eat supper reaction. I assume you wouldn't expect anything less from me.
1. Pedal feels super solid. Could have been an extension of the SY1000 chassis. Good.
2. Down a single halfstep is good. Whole step is good. Even down 3 is good. Beyond that; it is completely a victim of Boss pitch shifting where there is this weird thing with the low E. It's like a cocked wah stuck in a low "wow" setting. I haven't played a tuned down guitar in forever so maybe I am wrong and this is an experience with a physically downtuned guitar as well but I don't think so. Latency seems to be noticable around 5 down. Doable; but noticable. Weird low end is also exacerbated by different drives. SD-1 was TERRIBLE with it. GT-OD was there but not as bad. MXR Micro Amp 2 was probably best sounding with it?
3. Detune mode is not audible. Unless I am so used to hearing either the MXR stereo chorus or the FAS stuff where it's lush AF? I don't think so. I might be missing something in the menu system they've included.
4. Whammy is kind of neat? I would probably never use it in retrospect. I bought it mainly for presets with the whammy being a sort of add-on item.
5. Up 2 semitones is solid. It definitely has a "fake" sheen to it but with a bass in a mix; it would be fine for that (AKA tune baritone or 7 up to C# for LB riffs)
6. I think I am probably the worst "new to me piece of gear" person I have ever met
If I had to rate it now; I would buy the single stomp and organize songs and change tunings on the fly per group vs. this piece.
I can see using this with my 6 string and whatever 7 or baritone for the wrestling metal stuff. I would absolutely not use it to go down or up for anything more than 3.

I'll eat the shipping costs.
