The DigiTech Whammy changed everything for experimental guitarists. Today, the newest version of the DigiTech Whammy adds to the original with MIDI control.

While fads and fashions may come and go, the true classics will always be in demand. It's been nearly a decade since DigiTech introduced the mind bending effects of the Whammy pedal to the world, and that original design has been in demand ever since. The same smooth pitch bends, rich detuning, accurate dive bombs, and fast tracking harmony shifts, which were responsible for the instant success of the original Whammy pedal have been resurrected in the new incarnation of the DigiTech Whammy Pedal. Painstaking efforts were made to recreate the exact sounds that made the DigiTech Whammy such a popular and indispensable effect.

Every feature of the original WH-1 has been included in the new DigiTech Whammy; From the rotary preset selection knob, to the Ferrari red color; from the mechanical momentary switch, to the exact same interval selections. However, the new DigiTech Whammy has added the versatility of MIDI control, making this timeless effect flexible enough for any situation. The new "Dive Bomb" Preset gives the effect of a Floyd Rose whammy bar pushed all the way to the body of the guitar, and 16 LEDs provide a visual indication of your Preset selection even on dimly lit stages.

- Original Whammy presets

I will be happy with this product till the day I die. And nothing could replace it.
Sound
Sound quality is great. Perfect pitcheseven through switching octaves. Nice bass and treble sounds as well. It sounds unbelievable with some kind of distortion effect. I own this product and it has improved my playing ability
Features
This product came with its own cable plug-in device, which makes this great so you dont have to use the 9 volt batteries. It does have a lot of features I do not use though on the left side. The octave changer on this product is spectacular.

Nice red and black finish on the pedal. Easy to use and it is durable.
Value
Good and offordable.
