Killer bit of kit and inexpensive :D
I'm really impressed.. This is the second one of these I have purchased. The last one went on a PRS SE and sorted out a few stability issues very well. The latest one I put on a Jem 555 I modded with a proper Floyd and EVH d-Tuna, it works perfectly holding the tuning on the other strings when drop tuned. I was also going to tune the Jem to E flat and drop C# with the d-tuna, but my string were a bit heavy, dropping tuning down to D and Drop C was as easy as on fixed bridge guitar, no messing about having to re-tune the strings and adjust the tension on the trem springs :D
Pro's..
Cheap
Works
Easier than blocking
Easy to fit / remove
Cons.
Probably wont hold tuning with a broken string unless you wind the pre-load right up
No more trem flutter when sliding my hand of the wammy bar :(
Tricks for setup.
Wind on about 1/4 preload. It make it easy to fit and needs to be set around there for double bends and drop tune.
After its set up and holding the block - over tighten the trem springs a little.
Worth a try if you are looking at a trem setter, only takes 2 minutes to remove if you don't like it and will only leave 2 small screw holes.

simple idea and design, big change
it is what it is, a very simple hack for your floyd rose bridge. but you must be aware of two things:
1. not for all floyd roses.. i have a few ibanez's but only one of them, a Jem Jr is compatible. not a problem for me as I knew it from the start.
2. not for floating floyd roses.. you need to block your FR to stop it from going high. otherwise the change in the E string tension will destroy your whole tuning. So I put a wooden block under the bridge to do the job.

Essential for trems and easy drop D tunings
I bought this for a fully floating Charvel So Cal. Usually it would be necessary to ensure the trem is set to 'dive only', when using a D-tuna, however, to retain the fully floating trem you can use a Göldo Back Box with this to allow your trem to fully float, and it won't go out of tune when you pull the D-tuna.
Pros:
Easy drop tuning on double locked trems
Can be used with a Göldo Back Box to keep the trem fully floating
Great quality
Easy to install and set up.
Con:
None

Works smoothly.
Bought this to fit to a Kramer '84 model guitar that has 1000-series Floyd Rose. Installation was simple and the kit includes all the instruction and tools you'll need to get the D-Tuna fitted in no time.
The unit is nice and smooth in operation and once set up properly will get you accurately from E to D ( or anything other whole-step) every time.

Amazing feature!
I installed it in a couple of minutes. Very easy to use. I really suggest this feature. I installed it on an evh guitar, so the Floyd rose it's already not floating. This makes it easier to install.
Great feature.

Great but not for all types of floyrose
Unfortunately doesn't work for all type of Floyd rose when you D tune I am forced to adjust the others strings as well, lets see when I buy another guitar with another type of Floyd if works better
