This pedal was an absolute lifesaver when I was in a cover band. We had several songs down tuned and rather than lug 5 guitars around I'd turn a knob to change overall tuning.

I can also recommend the Hotone Harmony. It can both droptune between 1-12 & 24 semitones and up tone,as well as detune (maybe 60 cent, idk). Also it gives the possibility to emulate a 12 string guitar as you can set the dry as well as the wet output. And the best thing: it is cheap as fuck.
