Description

A classic, must-have piece of guitar pedal history - the Digitech Whammy IV. This pedal is fun to play and gives a variety of octaves, harmonies and detuning options. This pedal can be heard all over Rage Against the Machine's Evil Empire, Pantera's 'Becoming,' as well as classic Radiohead tracks like 'My Iron Lung.' It's very hard to nail that sound without this effect unit! Rocktron power supply included; does not include original box or instruction manual. Features:6 Whammy modes including famous 2 Octave Up as heard on 100's of songs10 Harmony Bend modes including 2nd Up to 3rd Up simulating pedal steel bendsExpression pedal controls dive bombs and bendsCutting-edge pitch detection engine designed specifically for guitar delivers fast accurate shifting!MIDI In & Out/Thru to control pitch bends via CC's"In 1991 a legend was born. A new era in guitar effects began with the introduction of the Digitech Whammy. This pedal was (and still is) THE guitar pitch shifter and harmonizer. Packaged in a large, red metal case with a built in expression pedal, the Digitech Whammy brought about new guitar effects and sounds never before dreamed of by guitarists. At last guitarists could bend notes without going out of tune. Pristine octave up and down effects were now just a footswitch away and the amount of pitch shift could be controlled in real time. Not only did the Digitech Whammy offer great sounding harmonies, but using the expression pedal, you could bend between two harmonies with your foot! Nothing like this had ever been seen for electric guitarists and it immediately made its way into the rigs of influential guitarists and onto the albums of top bands of the time. Artists like Tom Morello and Dimebag Darrell made extensive use of the Whammy's amazing tones and introduced aspiring guitarists to the true potential of this powerful pedal.Due to the huge success of the Digitech Whammy anther pedal was soon to follow, the Whammy II. This version featured a black chassis with expression pedal and a select footswitch for toggling settings. The Whammy II, while not as popular as the original Digitech Whammy, it featured fewer harmonies and only one Detune mode but had the ability to store a setting giving the guitarist the ability to toggle between two different settings with the footswitch. This was an invaluable tool for live performance. The Digitech Whammy II was heard being used by such artists as Herman Li, Trey Anastasio, and Buckethead.The Whammy Moves ForwardThe most recent version of the Digitech Whammy is the Whammy IV. This is a return to form of the original Whammy pedal with some modern upgrades to make it more versatile and usable. The Digitech Whammy IV features the addition of a divebomb feature allowing non-tremolo guitarists to achieve rocketing whammy bar effects without routing their guitars, buying new ones, or going out of tune. The Whammy IV also incorporates MIDI control of all expression pedal functions for external control or synching of the Whammy effects.Depending on signal chain placement the Digitech Whammy can yield different effects and sounds. Placed after a few overdrive and fuzz pedals, the tracking gets a little slower and the output gets more lo-fi for vintage squeak and squawk. When placed in the effects loop or first, the tracking is spot on even at the highest speeds and the effected signal is sent to your effects pedals letting them do the work. One of the cooler tones yielded by the Digitech Whammy is running a dry output into one amp and a wet output into another amp. This setup is super sweet for running thunderous harmony down effects adding a wide open sound and (depending on what kind of amp the effected signal is run through) major synthesis addition to your guitar."CONSIDERATION FOR REVERB SHOPPERS:Most used equipment shows some signs of wear from playing throughout the years.
