## Overview

The DigiTech Whammy (5th Gen) is a professional-grade pitch-shifting pedal featuring classic and chordal modes, true bypass circuitry, and 10 versatile pitch/harmony settings. Trusted by Grammy-winning artists and featured on over 700 million albums, it offers seamless tuning flexibility and pristine tone preservation in a compact, durable design powered by standard 9V DC.

## Description

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 and 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' pedal boards. 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-fret board pitch translation. The Whammy puts expression into the expression pedal. Don't be the last guitarist without a Whammy!

Review: Brilliant! - I love this thing! The polyphonic pitch shifting capabilities are amazing on this. It sounds totally natural, it doesn't get "confused" by different notes in chords like other pitch shifters I have previously used did. I used to bring 3 different guitars in different tunings every time my band played a show and now I can play all of our songs on one guitar and just change tunings with a twist of the knob on the Whammy DT pedal! The classic pitch shifting functions on the left side are tons of fun too. This thing exceeded my expectations and I can't imagine not having it in my setup ever again. It's very well built and it's actually smaller than I thought it would be. I definitely recommend this for anyone that likes to use various tunings for their music and hates constantly re-tuning their guitars. It also has a cool momentary switch, this either engages or disengages the drop tune function (depending on if the DT switch is on or off, the momentary switch goes to the opposite setting) and it only stays active as long as the switch is depressed. Fun, versatile, functional, weird, and very very useful. Get one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome product I must have for any guitarist

It is a DigiTech whammy pedal need I say more

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ as described..good purchase....good value
*by C***Y on March 25, 2013*

Im sure the $7-800 originals are the best....but for this kind of money this pedal is an excellent purchase. All the left side harmony level settings and the chorus can be great in studio and as songwriting aids or embellishments, while the Whammy side is what I use mainly during the live shows. It has been awesome thus far to see the crowd facial expressions as I use the 2 octave settings and they are so into it.....it's such a foreign-sounding guitar effect but is super cool at the same time. I play professionally and tour regularly, and in my experience had only come across this pedal once in seeing someone else perform. Thats when I decided to get one and for the $185 or roughly that (what I spent on Amazon), this pedal was worth every penny....I would even say it's worth more with all the settings. If you have any reservations, go to youtube and type in "digitech whammy demo". there are several thorough demos that will walk you through everything. This pedal rocks!
