Solar Guitars is the latest firm to enter the hotly contested pitch-shifting market with the Chug Capo, a no-nonsense stompbox being billed as \u201ca digital bi-directional capo<\/a>\u201d that is set to go toe to toe with the likes of Boss<\/a> and DigiTech.<\/p>\n

The chrome pedal shifts up and down by one octave in semitone increments, has a bright display, and two key selling points.<\/p>\n
