Digitech Bass Whammy

Legendary pitch shifting effect for bass guitar

The next generation Bass Whammy uses the most advanced pitch detection and polyphonic note tracking technology to create the world’s best pitch shifting effect pedal optimized for bass. The Bass Whammy maintains the classic settings from the original with many modern upgrades. With two different tracking modes, Classic and Chord, the Bass Whammy gives players the ability to recreate the shift glitch effects from the original or get the smooth pitch shift effect. Chord mode uses advanced polyphonic tracking algorithms for a more exact and smooth pitch shift effect while Classic maintains the tracking artifacts of the original Whammy. The Bass Whammy is true bypass, MIDI controllable, and uses a 9V DC power supply to easily integrate into your existing pedalboard.

Expression Pedal
This pedal is used to control the pitch bending amount of the selected Harmony, Whammy, or Detune effect. Rocking it forward(toe down) increases the amount of pitch bending while rocking it back(toe up) decreases the amount of pitch bending.

Harmony LEDs
One of these LEDs will light when a Harmony effect is selected. Harmony effects have dry signal added to the effect signal.

Classic/Chords Switch
This switch toggles between the classic Whammy algorithm (Classic) and modern chordal algorithm(Chords). The Classic setting is ideal for single note play while the Chords setting is best suited for bending of full chords.

Selector Knob
This knob is used to select one of the Whammy, Harmony, or Detune effects.

Whammy LEDs
One of these LEDs will light when a Whammy effect is selected. Whammy effects do not have dry signal added to the effect signal.

Detune LEDs
One of these LEDs will light when a Detune effect is selected. The Expression Pedal controls the amount of Detune signal mixed with the dry signal.
