DigiTech Whammy 5
- Whammy Pitch Bending Effects
The DigiTech Whammy brings you the same hair-raising "dive bomb" effects, gripping pitch bends and lightning harmony shifts you are looking for plus a few new twists. Bend entire chords with the new chordal pitch shifting setting and execute classic single note bends. - Classic Whammy Interface
The Whammy interface features the same legacy Whammy pitch bending options you're accustomed to along with some additional pitch bend settings from the Whammy DT. - MIDI In for Remote Control of Whammy Effects
The Whammy features a MIDI input for receiving incoming MIDI data. MIDI messages can select a Whammy or Drop Tune effect and set whether these effects are in an active or bypassed state. MIDI CC messages can then be used to control the Whammy Expression Pedal position.
The legendary Whammy pedal is the premier pitch-shifting pedal for any guitarist's board, and it only gets better with time. In addition to the classic Whammy sound, we've added chordal Whammy pitch-shifting and true bypass.
Whammy artists have won over 60 Grammys using its unique pitch-shifting sound to enhance their music. Its songs echo the hallways of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and generate acclaim on over 700 million albums around the world. There is no doubt why Whammy is one of the most common sights on guitarists' pedalboards.
The Whammy can bring new depth to your artistry. Turn your solo into raging, rebellious screams of tone or tame your crowd with highly expressive, ambient chordal bends. Energize your audience with a scratchy note frenzy, bring them in and out of the sound tunnel with musical bursts, or carry them through an existential exploration of full-fretboard pitch translation. The Whammy puts expression into the expression pedal.
Don't be the last guitarist without a Whammy!
Features - DigiTech Whammy 5
- Expression Pedal
This Pedal is used to control the pitch bending amount of the selected Harmony, Whammy, or Detune effect. Rocking it forward (toe down) increases the amount of pitch bending while rocking it back (toe up) decreases the amount of pitch bending. - Harmony & Whammy LEDs
One of these LEDs will light when an effect is selected. Harmony effects have dry signal added to the effect signal. - Classic/Chords Switch
This switch toggles between the classic Whammy algorithm (Classic) and modern algorithm from the Whammy DT (Chords). The Classic setting is ideal for single note play while the Chords setting is best suited for bending of full chords. - Selector Knob
This knob is used to select one of the Whammy, Harmony, or Detune effects - Detune LEDs
One of these LEDs will light when a Detune effect is selected. The Expression Pedal controls the amount of Detune signal mixed with the dry signal. - Effect On/Off Switch
This switch turns the Whammy, Harmony, or Detune effect on and off. This LED lights to indicate the effect is on. When the effect is bypassed, this LED will be off.
