Turn on this effect for rhythm parts or leads, and hear the way the pulse of tremolo and vibrato takes run-of-the-mill riffs and makes them unforgettable.

Pitch Effects
Shifting your pitch mid-note creates a sliding effect that adds animation and expression to your playing. These pitch effect pedals let you make extreme jumps in pitch, creating a whammy-bar-like effect. Some, like the DigiTech Whammy Pedal, go far beyond the pitch-bending that whammy bars are capable of, letting you make noises you only hear right before breaking your strings!
