Ha, that's just what I was thinking. I've never been happy with my "baritone" Dot so have been keeping half an eye open for alternatives. Thought about picking up one of the Japanese Baritone Jaguars (or the Bottom Master) but they hardly ever come up over here and importing from the US would prove expensive. Thought about getting a Squier VI and putting lighter strings on it but I'm not sure the 30" scale would be right for how I'd use it. Thought about putting a baritone conversion neck on a Squier VM Jazzmaster but importing a Warmoth neck isn't cheap. etc etcultratwin wrote:Note to self: don't buy/build a baritone just yet, and this indeed sounds a bit better than the NYC peeps' little box.
This might sort me out for a lot less money/hassle.

Agree. Got an Micro POG and it's ace but want some thing that'll drop stuff by a tone or two (i.e. Low E down to D or C or B). Needs to be polyphonic and sound as "natural" as possible. Tracking also needs to be spot on (like the Micro POG).
Just wondered if anyone had tried either of these out and whether they sort of fit that bill.

The Pitch Fork is definitely more versatile but tbh I can't see myself ever wanting to do the harmonizing stuff. I've watched a few demos but they all tend to be chuggy chuggy metalz riffz so I have had a hard time working out which one I prefer the sound of from the few clean demos I've found.

This guy did a review and said the latency was higher on the Pitch Fork.
His summary:

His summary:
He also did an (metalz chugging) demo:Get the Pitch Fork if:
You need to be able to pitch shift in both directions.
You want to blend your wet signal in for octaves or harmonies.
You want to be able to do Tom Morello tricks with an expression pedal.
You don’t mind a hint of metallic tinge to your high end. The drunk crowd will never notice, right?
Get the Drop if:
You’re a dedicated downtuner and don’t need no stinkin’ higher notes.
You want a tone more optimised for drop tuning.
You need 100% precision and zero discernable latency.
