DigiTechWhammy (5th Gen) 2-Mode Pitch-shift Effect with True Bypass

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.

Great product , fair priceI am diving in slowly this pedal has many sonic possibilities… I hear things going in a variety of of ways with this added to my pedal board … Degitech has nailed this one … L.Rashaan Rich , Guitarist

To be clear, this is not the best pedal for harmonizing modal melodies or sounding like there are multiple live musicians in the room. The sound is good, but it is a digital pedal, so it sounds a bit unnatural.That being said, I love this pedal. The available options for harmonizing and pitch alteration can’t be found in any other single pedal. If you want to practice a song in a lower tuning, this works great. I’m no longer wasting time tuning down a half step for every other 90’s grunge song.One warning for anyone thinking of adding this to their pedal board. It is digital, so be ready for 9v 300mA requirements.

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!

If you close your eyes this sounds exactly like physical string modulation, I’m so impressed with this pedal.

Shipped from Madrid and got here on time, this is the 5th generation pedal, gone is the need for 9vac (special extra adapter) replaced with 9vdc , Dry out jack is goners well as weird artifacts in the sounds that the 4th generation made. (some do like the weird artifacts though, purely subjective) This pedal has a slightly smaller footprint and now comes with a LED by this foot switch and true bypassing.

New Digitech Whammy Pedal with oldschool Logo and true bypass. I compared it with an older version and it sounds a little warmer (less digital), I use mostly the 1 or 2 octaves up and in the older version it does a more digital jump between notes, which I kinda miss because with this version if you dont use the expression pedal properly you can hear the notes in between the pitch bend. Also, it would be better if the settings knob was further away from the expression pedal, every once in while I change settings by mistake while going up and down with my foot.

Probably the most entertaining pedal I have. Mix it with other effects and you can get endless different sounds out of it. If you don't want to restring your guitar to play in a different key while keeping the same pattern, you can cheat with this. If you want to record bass for a song, this works surprisingly. The classic vs chords switch does indeed make a difference when using the harmony options. I recommend mixing this with a wah wah pedal and you really get a grip on the sound. If you don't feel like making highly unusual sounds, the chorus effects are beautifully done. I tend to leave it on one of those when I'm not doing much with this pedal.Definitely recommend for an experimental guitarist or any musician seeking out unique sounds.
