    Nux B-5RC ?

    Digitech Drop Pedal for Bass

    I recently purchased one of these. Several of the projects I'm in use multiple alternative turnings. Primarily, switching between 440, Half step down and whole step down. I really want this to be the answer to not having 3 basses on stage every gig. I'm a little concerned about tone degradation...
