$37.00 USD

DigiTech and to some degree Electro Harmonix have owned the Pitch box/drop tuning market. We have seen some big time players play half their tunes with especially the DigiTech jobbies.
We all wonder just how good they sound. We all wonder just how much
we would use them to justify the money. I recently noticed two things by dumb luck. First that Mooer has dropped the wholesale price in I suspect 
a bit of a sale and there is video of a shoot out of it against the $240.00 USD DigiTech Drop. The Drop is the biggy for those who want the sound but not one of DigiTechs huge Morley Wha shaped pedals eating half their board. 
The layout is a knob for Pitch choice and a toggle for Harmony, 
Pitch Shift or Detune.
     CONCLUSION ___
Well the the pedal is a bit noisy, but surprisingly 
a bit fatter than the Digitech. The sound especially 
when not pushed too many semitones away from  
your guitar tuning sounds very natural. Using it  
just for a really high gain rig or especially with a 
Fuzz is forgiving since your tone is hardly natural, lol. 
HANDS ON 
So It arrived. The dropped pitches sounded natural, not artificial or synth like. The harmony thing is OK but needs to have something written for it. Not really usable for the foreseeable future. . The detune when just put on -1 does a faux double track thing that oddly adds bite and punch in spades. It is not stereo so it will not give you real double tracking but it is so usable it is worth the price of the pedal. I am using with a dropped D tuning for an intro to a tune with great effect!!!  So...for know it stays for a few months test run.
