Digitech Whammy DT

Digitech Whammy DT: A Versatile Pitch-Shifting and Tuning Pedal

The Digitech Whammy DT is an all-in-one effects pedal that combines detune, harmonizer, pitch-shifting, whammy, and drop-/raised-tuning effects, making it a powerhouse for guitarists and bassists looking to explore a wide range of tonal possibilities. Designed with Digitech's renowned pitch-shifting technology, the Whammy DT offers creative freedom to add depth, harmonics, and unique tonal shifts to any performance or recording.

Unmatched Polyphonic Pitch-Shifting and Whammy Effects

The Whammy DT delivers true polyphonic pitch shifting, allowing musicians to transpose notes and chords with precision. Whether raising or lowering pitch by up to 7 semitones or a full octave, the pedal’s Whammy effects open up creative options. From subtle harmonics to dramatic octave shifts, this pedal preserves tonal clarity and accuracy, even with complex chords.

Classic Whammy Sounds and Advanced Pitch Control

With the Digitech Whammy DT, players have access to the classic Whammy sound that’s been a staple of rock and experimental genres. The pedal allows for seamless pitch shifting and harmonizing, which can be tailored to different playing styles and musical genres. The true-bypass design ensures no signal loss when the effect is turned off, maintaining the integrity of your tone.

Momentary Footswitch for Hammer-on and Pull-off Effects

One of the unique features of the Whammy DT is its momentary footswitch, which offers hammer-on and pull-off effects. This feature lets you momentarily engage the pitch-shifting effect for quick, expressive shifts, creating sounds reminiscent of classic guitar techniques without changing finger positions on the fretboard. It adds a dynamic layer to solos and riffs, making it a versatile tool for both live performances and studio recordings.

Seamless Drop and Raised Tuning Options

With the drop and raised tuning options, the Whammy DT can instantly transpose your instrument’s tuning without physically adjusting your strings. This feature is invaluable for guitarists who need to switch between tunings mid-performance, allowing you to shift from standard tuning down to a whole octave below, or raise by up to 7 semitones. The drop-tune function simplifies switching between tunings for different songs or keys, saving time and effort during live performances.
