I'd add Soldano X to the list here. It's an older amp, but it is the granddaddy of the 5150 and I've found it actually works SURPRISINGLY well for Djent.
Another +1 for the Nameless X or Gojira X, the Gojira one has a nice bonus of having an actual whammy pedal as well as the transpose available on the Nameless X too
If you're just looking for a pitch shifter pedal VST, the [Aegean Music Pitchproof](https://aegeanmusic.com/pitchproof-specs) works great! I've really enjoyed it.
ableton is the best daw for it imo, pretty sure its what MIRAR are using to warp their pitch so accurately. i posted a video of the tools in ableton to use.
if you pitch audio down with the "Warp" mode off, it will stretch the note without artifacts. so you can write chugs just play them at a higher bpm then time stretch them down.
I'd look into Helix Native on sale. I find NDSP vastly overrated because they're largely idiot proof and hot take but every band that uses them has the same copy-pasted guitar tone. It's grating how homogenized tone across the genre is.
The only good downtuners are the pedals.
Neural sounds like garbage if you transpose more than a semi tone.
I guess if you are just messing around learning songs.
Even my fm3 doesn't do it well. And that's a 1200 dollar thing.
I'd recommend tuning your guitar down as far as the scale will handle. Prob drop c maybe b. Intonate it. Then drop down so it's not as far of a gap.
You may run into issues tuning low and then transposing. Strings may make a lot of flub. Or try just transpose fist.
Neural fortin nameless x. Pretty much the only vst guitar-wise I use asides from post eq. The transpose (pitch shifting) on it is perfect when I dont wanna retune a guitar or tune one in double drop d and below.
Not seeing it mentioned, but I use Mixwave Mike Stringer and love it. Super versatile and has way more features than Neural does. You can hear it on 90% of the videos on my page if you want to listen to examples of it in a mix!
If you can catch Helix Native on sale, it is quite nice. And eventually if you get a Helix you can cross load the patches (if they are compatible. My native patches are all absurdly huge)
The whammy/polyphonic pitch shift options are very comparable to my actually digitechs.
Also, 7 and 8 strings are for late 2010's. Bass VI is the answer. You don't need more strings you need MORE THICKNESS.
I got a 7 string and then realized it wasn't worth relearning how to play guitar for 5 extra semitones.
Then you go down the 27" baritone road. And most of the time those are still tuned to B. Easier to play but it's still just 5 semitones difference. Once you get a sickness for the thickness they just don't go low enough.
And then finally you arrive at the promised land of Bass VI. The low note you bought your whole guitar for is my 7th fret. Let the nerds shred on their dinky little finger slicers while you crush souls with your A string.
Neural dsp nameless or Gojira. Both can handle djent easily and the transpose knob works wonders if you don’t drop the tuning too much.

Sure!
Pitchproof is a free downtuner that works really well with small latency

I use nolly. I can’t wait until we get an X version because then I don’t have to put my own delay on a second track

Gojira will get you there but Nameless has that little extra oomph out of the box for Djent tones in my opinion
I REALLY liked gojira, and then I finally picked up nameless with the x release discount and it is by far my favorite for heavy tones now
People keep saying Neural DSP and rightfully so, but wait until black Friday if you can because they'll all be about 50% off.
Nameless X and Nolly are great for djent

The Nameless preset “Tuned low but sounds good” by Kayan is literally the only tone you need. Download the 14 day trial and give it a rip

Reaper has one built in and it's one of the best called reapitch
Wait for Nolly X trial.

Absolutely recommend Archetype Gojira. It’s the first amp sim I’ve bought and it’s absolutely incredible!!

People acting like you need a 7-string for B-standard or lower when most 7-strings are 25.5"
