{"product_id":"digitech-whammy-5-167515","title":"Whammy 5","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA cult pedal that defined \"foot-controlled pitch shifting\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Digitech Whammy is one of those pedals that created a signature sound all on its own. Its founding idea is as simple as it is effective: turning pitch shifting into an expressive gesture, with a smooth expression sweep that allows you to \"draw\" the pitch in real time, like a radical vibrato... but under your foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver generations, the Whammy has become a language: riffs jumping octaves, aggressive harmonies, slides impossible by hand, and ultra-musical transitions between two notes. This version retains the DNA that made the effect legendary, while offering a reading more suited to chords and connectivity designed for today's rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for, and in which styles the Whammy truly changes the game\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Whammy is aimed at guitarists (and bassists) who want an \u003cstrong\u003eimmediately inspiring\u003c\/strong\u003e guitar effect pedal, capable of turning a simple phrase into a highlight moment. If you play \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, it delivers leads that take off and vertiginous drops reminiscent of a digital \"tremolo bar.\" In \u003cstrong\u003emetal\u003c\/strong\u003e and modern styles, its intervals and harmonizations enhance rhythmic impact and add highly expressive tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eambient\u003c\/strong\u003e, post-rock, and film music, the chord mode becomes a texture tool: progressive pitch shifts, moving pads, shifting harmonies, and \"cinematic\" colors. In the studio, it also excels at doubling a line, thickening a pattern, creating a melodic response, or crafting a transition that draws the ear without overloading the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSettings, modes, and integration: designed for pedalboards and the stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Whammy is its \u003cstrong\u003eexpression pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e: it controls pitch shift precisely, from the subtlest movement to the most extreme stretch. The mode selector lets you switch between \u003cstrong\u003eClassic\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eChords\u003c\/strong\u003e to choose the feel and tracking behavior according to your playing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou have \u003cstrong\u003e10 Whammy settings\u003c\/strong\u003e for typical \"rise\/dive\" pitch shifts, \u003cstrong\u003e9 harmony settings\u003c\/strong\u003e to stack a transposed voice (ideal for thickening a lead or creating an instant third\/fifth), and \u003cstrong\u003e2 detune parameters\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to widen the sound and add a more organic pitch movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn stage, the \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e protects your dry tone when the effect is off. And thanks to the \u003cstrong\u003eMIDI input\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Whammy can integrate into a programmed set: preset recall, synchronized changes, and control from a controller to keep your hands on the neck and your focus on playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Whammy is a signature: an \u003cstrong\u003eexpressive and bold pitch shifting\u003c\/strong\u003e that highlights the musical gesture. In \u003cstrong\u003eClassic\u003c\/strong\u003e mode, you get that grain and \"Whammy\" feel that make foot bends instantly addictive, with an ideal response for punchy riffs, hooks, and pronounced pitch rise effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChords\u003c\/strong\u003e mode aims for a pitch shift better suited to chords: useful for moving progressions, creating transposed pads, or layering a harmony that remains clear. The dynamics depend heavily on your attack and the chosen setting, making it a very lively pedal: the more you nuance, the more it becomes a full instrument within your effects chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOctaver \/ Harmony\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eelectric guitar\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePedal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esector\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePitch shift modes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassic and Chords\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequired power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e9V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnnounced functions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eWhammy tuning, detuned tuning\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Digitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359518740755,"sku":"167515","price":189.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/0154c82e94aca8fe5aa6b88c034856e9bb2dd2ee_DIGITECH_WHAMMY5.jpg?v=1792587651","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/digitech-whammy-5-167515","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
