Here’s what DigiTech say:

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.

Key Features

  • Use as an Expression Pedal – This pedal is used to control the pitch bending amount of the selected Harmony, WHammy, or Detune effect.
  • Harmony & Whammy LEDs – One of these LEDs will light when a effect is selected. Harmony effects have a dry signal added to the effect signal.
  • Classic/Chords Switch – This switch toggles between the classic Whammy algorithm (classic) and the modern algorithm from the Whammy DT (Chords).

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.

Specifications

  • Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz
  • Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
  • Signal to Noise Ratio: > -105 dB (A weighted); ref = max level, 22 kHz bandwidth
  • Power Consumption: 2.4 Watts (< 265 mA @ 9 VDC)
  • Power Adapter: 9 VDC External Adapter
  • True Bypass: Yes. With true bypass circuitry, the whammy is completely bypassed when both Whammy and Drop Tune effects are off.

Pitch & Harmoniser Pedals

Pitch processors shift the incoming note to a new interval, while harmonisers add one or more shifted voices alongside it. Digital detection may follow single notes, chords or a selected musical key, and some units allow continuous expression-controlled sweeps. Tracking accuracy, latency, interval range, scale intelligence and formant handling determine how natural or deliberately synthetic the added voices sound.
