Description

For decades the Digitech Whammy has in various forms been a must have for creative guitarists looking to make cool noises. But it’s only now that Digitech have caved to the building demand from bassists for a version specifically tailored for the low end! For years bassists have used the guitar version but complained of sub optimal tracking and tone but not any more! There’s a whole host of creative, bass specific options including recreating glitchy sounds of old, or more transparent modern chord work.

Here’s what Digitech say about the Bass Whammy

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.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Pitch & Harmoniser Pedals

Pitch processors shift the incoming note to a new interval, while harmonisers add one or more shifted voices alongside it. Digital detection may follow single notes, chords or a selected musical key, and some units allow continuous expression-controlled sweeps. Tracking accuracy, latency, interval range, scale intelligence and formant handling determine how natural or deliberately synthetic the added voices sound.
