DigiTech Whammy

Brand: DigiTech · Category: Pitch · Released: 1989

The pitch-shifting expression classic for octave jumps, harmonies, dive-bombs, and beautifully unnatural guitar moves.

The DigiTech Whammy made pitch shifting feel like a performance instrument. With an expression pedal controlling harmonies, octave jumps, detuning, and dive-bomb effects, it became a landmark for players who wanted the guitar to leap, glitch, scream, or bend beyond normal fingers-and-strings physics.
