DigiTech Whammy 5 Pitch-Shifting Pedal

Put one of modern guitar's most recognizable pitch effects under your foot with the DigiTech Whammy 5. Its expression treadle delivers dramatic bends, dive-bombs, harmonies, detune textures, and smooth chordal shifts for stage, studio, and sound-design work.

Why It Stands Out

The fifth-generation Whammy keeps the immediate one-knob-and-treadle workflow while adding polyphonic Chords mode, true bypass, and MIDI control. It can move from a subtle detune thickener to an unmistakable two-octave pitch sweep in seconds.
