The bandleader calls E-flat but you're in standard. Every gigging guitarist knows exactly how that feels. John Bohlinger puts Solar Guitars' new Chug Capo to the test to see if it can solve the two problems that have plagued pitch-shifting pedals forever: latency and tone coloring. Designed by Ola Englund and the Solar team after benchmarking every competing pedal they could find, the Chug Capo promises roughly half the latency of its rivals and a transparent signal that doesn't muddy your tone. John takes it clean, overdriven, up, down, and even runs a mandolin through it.
The Chug Capo shifts up or down a full octave in semitone increments, with a bold display showing your position at a glance. A Mix control lets you blend the shifted signal with your dry tone, and a Favorites preset means your most-used setting is always one click away.
