Tone Vise Pitch Shifter - Move Over D-Tuna??

[Tone Vise]

I ordered one today, and will go on my new Charvel Style 2. Report back what I find.

Thanks! I think you'll be happy with it!

Junk yard dog....flutter is the warbling effect you get when you flick trem arm. Think Brad Gillis. A trem stopper(even the ones that allow for the trem to "float")will not allow you to flick or "flutter" the trem.

So you tune your E with the fine tuner, then crank the tone vise and use the fine tuner to tune to D, so when you go back, won’t the E be out of tune since you used the fine tuner to get the D? Am I missing something? That’s what the little set screw was for on the D-tuna, to set that slight variance.

Welcome Mark! Will this work with a Floyd Rose Pro?

Sorry, it doesn't work on the Lo-Pro although there maybe one in the future.

But it does work on the original Floyd, correct? And what’s the price?

Yes, the is a Floyd Rose version and one for the Ibanez Edge. 39.99 shipped in the USA on reverb.

Does the Ibanez model also work for the Gotoh 1996 Floyd trem?

You first tune to E using the headstock tuner, lock the nut then shift the Pitch Shifter to the D position and fine tune with the tremolo fine tuner for the slight variances and you're done.

It will if the Gotoh trem is recessed or elevated above the top about 3//32". I will be introducing a Gotoh specific version shortly.

Use the Floyd Rose version on the Special.

Looks cool. I just ordered one.

I figured as much. I see the Ibanez version on ebay but nor FR version. Didn't see one until I checked reverb.

Really wish you had one on ebay, I'd like to try this on my recessed FR guitar, but I avoid reverb like the plague.

 

[Tone Vise]

What's wrong with Reverb may I ask? Send me a PM regarding the FR version.

Just ordered 3 for my RG 565's. The D tuna fit on one but not the others? Very finnicky on Edge trems. Had to shim the neck pocket to clear the body.

These look very cool.

What happens when the E string goes out of tune in the E position? If you tune it back to E with the fine tuner, will it still be in tune in the D position??

Would this fit a recessed Floyd like on the Kramer SM-1?

I'll find this out when I install mine in the next wee: good question.

Also, I'm wondering if another option to Drop-D/Tune is to use the Tone Vise locking nut for E &A :

No, if you did this it wouldn't be in tune in D. The E is tuned with the headstock tuner. As JYD posted, you can use a set of my Keyless Nut Locks for quick access to the headstock tuners. This would be the best of both worlds as there would be no allen keys needed to tune to E or as with the DT, fine tune to E.

Should fit in there no problem.
