I've got a DigiTech RP200 and I made my own preset that has a whammy effect on it called "4thdown". I tune to Eb, so this effect knocks my pitch down to Bb. It's sounds nice, but there's one problem: higher chords. Most individual notes and picking do fine, as is with the lower chords, but once I try using higher chords (like Bb5 or higher) it sounds off. The notes -- even though it's just a two-note power chord -- sound out of tune. I know that the whammy is the problem because they sound perfectly in tune with all other presets. So has anybody else had this problem? Is there a simple solution to it, a way to alter it for the better, or do whammy effects just do that to your tone?

the whammy on the rp200 is a joke... if you bought a real pitch shifter you'd have much better luck... but even the best like an evintide unit wont sound as good as just getting thicker strings and tuning the guitar down.
