Whammy DT : Best pitch shifter period

3 years ago

I didn't have the chance to try the unit before buying, so I had a few concerns about latency and pitch tracking. I've tried other pitch shifters and they fall apart when playing complex chords. The whammy DT handles everything I throw at it while maintaining a natural tone with no warbling pitch . Obviously when tuning down by a lot the tone can change, but that can be compensated for with a tighter distortion sound. Latency isn't an issue either, as I can play very fast scales and arpeggios without issue. The combination of features in the Whammy DT is well worth the large footprint; you don't have to choose between being drop tuned or using the whammy functions. The only thing missing is the classic mode from the Whammy V, but I prefer the solid pitch tracking of the newer algorithm.
