Key changes are at the tips of your toes and take just moments, which is crucial when the audience is feeling your vibe. Pitch shifting effects really help your guitar performance stand out and the Whammy pedal has been the core pitch shifting effect for famous artists for over 20 years. Now add full drop and raised tuning in addition to classic Whammy shifting to your effects arsenal and find out why the Whammy DT is the premiere pitch shifting effects pedal for every guitarist.

Whammy Effects: This group of effects will bend your incoming signal either up or down depending upon the effect setting you have chosen. As the Expression Pedal is rocked back and forth, the signal will bend from the original input pitch (toe up), to the pitch specified by the selected effect setting (toe down).

2 OCT UP – Bends your input note two octaves up.
1 OCT UP – Bends your input note one octave up.
5TH UP – Bends the input note 7 semitones (5th interval) up.
4TH UP – Bends the input note 5 semitones (4th interval) up.
2ND DN – Bends the input note 2 semitones (2nd interval) down.
4TH DN – Bends the input note 5 semitones (4th interval) down.
5TH DN – Bends the input note 7 semitones (5th interval) down.
1 OCT DN – Bends your input note one octave down.
2 OCT DN – Bends your input note two octaves down.
DIVE BOMB – Bends your input note three octaves down.

Harmony Effects: This group of effects add a harmony to your incoming signal. Both the harmony note and the input signal are mixed together as if two guitars were playing simultaneously. As you rock the pedal back and forth, the harmony note bends between two intervals specified by the selected effect setting, but the input signal remains unchanged.

OCT DN/OCT UP – Bends the harmony between one octave below (toe up) and one octave above (toe down) the input note.
5TH DN/4TH DN – Bends the harmony between a fifth (toe up) and a fourth (toe down) below the input note.
4TH DN/3RD DN – Bends the harmony between a fourth (toe up) and a minor third (toe down) below the input note.
5TH UP/7TH UP – Bends the harmony between a fifth (toe up) and a dominant seventh (toe down) above the input note.
5TH UP/6TH UP – Bends the harmony between a fifth (toe up) and a sixth (toe down) above the input note.
4TH UP/5TH UP – Bends the harmony between a fourth (toe up) and a fifth (toe down) above the input note.
3RD UP/4TH UP – Bends the harmony between a third (toe up) and a fourth (toe down) above the input note.
MIN 3RD UP/3RD UP – Bends the harmony between a minor third (toe up) and a major third (toe down) above the input note.
2ND UP/3RD UP – Bends the harmony between a second (toe up) and a third (toe down) above the input note.

Detune Effects: This group of effects create a copy of your input signal, shift the pitch of the copied signal, then mix it back with the original signal. As the Expression Pedal is rocked back and forth, the level of this detuned signal is changed. With the pedal in the toe up position, only the original dry signal is heard. As the pedal is rocked forward, more of the detuned signal is mixed with the dry signal.

SHALLOW – The copied signal is slightly detuned from the original pitch.
DEEP – The copied signal is substantially detuned from the original pitch.

Drop Tune Effects
This group of effects allow you to transpose (shift) your instrument up or down – with a range of one octave in each direction – for instant drop tuning or raised tuning simulation. The Octave + Dry effects create a 12 string guitar simulation. This effect can be used in combination with the Whammy, Harmony or Detune effect. Drop Tune effects include:

SHIFT UP

OCT + DRY – Transposes guitar signal up 1 octave and adds dry signal.
OCT – Transposes guitar signal up 1 octave.
7 – Transposes guitar signal up 7 semitones.
6 – Transposes guitar signal up 6 semitones.
5 – Transposes guitar signal up 5 semitones.
4 – Transposes guitar signal up 4 semitones.
3 – Transposes guitar signal up 3 semitones.
2 – Transposes guitar signal up 2 semitones.
1 – Transposes guitar signal up 1 semitone.

SHIFT DOWN

1 – Transposes guitar signal down 1 semitone.
2 – Transposes guitar signal down 2 semitones.
3 – Transposes guitar signal down 3 semitones.
4 – Transposes guitar signal down 4 semitones.
5 – Transposes guitar signal down 5 semitones.
6 – Transposes guitar signal down 6 semitones.
7 – Transposes guitar signal down 7 semitones.
OCT – Transposes guitar signal down 1 octave.
OCT + DRY – Transposes guitar signal down 1 octave and adds dry signal.

The Whammy features a MIDI input for receiving incoming MIDI data. MIDI messages can select a Whammy or Drop Tune effect and set whether these effects are in an active or bypassed state. MIDI CC messages can then be used to control the Whammy Expression Pedal position.
