Digitech Whammy DT Reviews

Fun toy for guitar tone mangling

I'm gonna start with the downsides. This effect pedal introduces a slight amount of noise and a hint of digital 'garbliness' to the tone, especially when hitting a high-gain amp which exaggerates these tonal side effects further. If you use this as a part of a long pedal chain, you'll want to experiment with placement to find where it suits your final outcome the most.

Having said that, this box is much about sound mangling anyway, and the negative aspects are minor compared to the tons of fun you'll have when dive bombing and messing up your solos. Adding harmonies works as advertised, faux 're-tuning' sounds surprisingly well (e.g. for dropping those metal djent riffs on your standard tuned Gibson with cool results), and the whammy effect can be extremely fun when not overused. As with all digital pitch tools, the sound quality for static sounds works better when you don't go overboard range-wise, keeping the aforementioned garbliness to usable discretion.

Think Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, and the picture should start making sense.

Great !

I put it in my pedalboard and since then it is good friend of mine ! Great sound effects with many possibilities ! I recommend this product to every guitar player !
