Trusted by Grammy-winning artists and featured on over 700 million albums, it offers seamless tuning flexibility and rugged build quality, powered by standard 9V DC. Perfect for guitarists seeking expressive, dynamic soundscapes and effortless tonal innovation. ## 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. Review: Versatile pedal with some crazy sounds - 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. ## Features - Classic Whammy Sound - Chordal Whammyv-01 Pitch Shifting - True Bypass - 10 Whammyv-01, 9 Harmony and 2 Detune Settings - Standard 9V DC power (included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007ZXWQ8E | | Amperage | 300 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | γƒ”γƒƒγƒγ‚·γƒ•γƒˆ | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,205 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #19 in Electric Guitar Pitch & Octave Effects | | Brand Name | DigiTech | | Color | Red | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) audio jack | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (563) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00691991202629 | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Item Dimensions | 7.75 x 6.5 x 2.5 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.75"L x 6.5"W x 2.5"H | | Item Weight | 3.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Harman Music Group | | Manufacturer Part Number | Whammy 5 | | Model Name | Digitech | | Model Number | WHAMMY | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Expression | | UPC | 799491183216 691991202629 | | Voltage | 9 Volts | | Warranty Description | 6 years parts and labor. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DigiTech - **Color:** Red - **Item Weight:** 3.6 Pounds - **Product Dimensions:** 7.75"L x 6.5"W x 2.5"H - **Style:** Expression ## Images ![DigiTech Whammy (5th Gen) 2-Mode Pitch-shift Effect with True Bypass - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Uobg9BBEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this the one zach myers uses in shinedown** A: Yes. Typically if you google a guitarist or band, followed by the words "rig rundown", you'll get more info about their pedals and stuff. Careful, you'll spend hours doing it and end up wanting to buy lots of stuff :-) **Q: Is this the fifth generation of the whammy pedal? Confused by the v-01 designation.** A: Whammy (5th Gen) **Q: Is this the brian may peddle ?** A: No. brian use digitech brian may red special **Q: Can this detune just the same as the drop pedal? Or is there less versatility for tuning on this pedal than the drop?** A: There is a define setting on this pedal. But I suspect the drop is more robust in terms of versatility and features . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant! *by I***K on May 7, 2012* I love this thing!
