The DigiTech Whammy 5 is a pitch-shifting guitar effects pedal built for dive bombs, pitch bends and harmony shifts, plus chordal pitch shifting and single note bends. The DigiTech Whammy delivers the same effects and functions that made the original a must have for guitarists, now updated and enhanced for fullness and depth. The Whammy now also includes chordal pitch shifting and classic single note bends for more functionality than ever. All the cool Whammy settings are instantly available at the touch of a knob. LEDs indicate the current Whammy setting and a heavy-duty momentary footswitch enables and disables the effect. True bypass circuitry means that when the Whammy is disengaged, the guitar signal passes cleanly through the pedal, unaffected by any of its background circuitry, eliminating signal loss and noise. Full MIDI connectivity allows the DigiTech Whammy to be hooked up to any MIDI device to send or receive pitch-bend information, letting it be controlled from a keyboard, MIDI foot controller, or almost any MIDI device. The pedal features true bypass switching and MIDI compatibility, and won't force you to retune your guitar between songs.
