Essential Information About the DigiTech Whammy DT Pedal

  • Iconic pitch shifting + built-in Drop Tune: switch from a spectacular pitch bend to an instant retuning without touching the tuning pegs.
  • "Capo" function up or down: up to 7 semitones, or a full octave, ideal for changing keys live.
  • Expressive foot control: expression pedal + momentary footswitch to trigger the effect on the fly during a solo.
  • Designed for the stage: rugged metal chassis, true bypass (and selectable DSP bypass mode) + MIDI control.

A "next generation" Whammy: the legendary DNA, now with tuning capabilities

The Whammy is one of those instantly recognizable pitch shifter pedals: a proudly digital grain, interval leaps impossible by hand, and unique expressiveness thanks to the expression pedal. The Whammy DT carries on this legacy and expands it with a dedicated Drop Tune section: you get both the classic Whammy effect (bends, harmonies, detune, dive bomb) and a modern tool to change tuning with one click, whether in the studio or on stage.

Who is the Whammy DT for, and in which styles does it make a difference?

This pedal is aimed at guitarists and bassists who want to broaden their vocabulary: alternative rock riffs, metal in down-tuned settings, electro textures, experimental atmospheres, or "synth" style lines based on pitch slides. Live, it avoids the need to multiply guitars (standard, drop, low tuning) and becomes a true creativity booster. In the studio, it allows stacking clean harmony vocals, doubling a line at the octave, or creating vertiginous dive bomb drops.

Controls, modes, and connectivity: designed for foot operation

The Whammy DT combines two sections selectable via two switches with indicator LEDs: the Whammy part (pitch bending and harmonies) and the Drop Tune part (capo/retuning). The expression pedal controls the pitch range for ultra-musical transitions, and a momentary footswitch allows activating the effect only while held down. For pedalboard integration, it features true bypass (with selectable DSP bypass), a MIDI input to control expression and configuration changes, and a dedicated input for an optional 3-button external footswitch (FS3X) to navigate settings hands-free.

Sound

Expect a clear and sharp pitch shifting with a proudly digital signature that cuts through the mix perfectly. In Whammy mode, pitch rises and falls remain very clear, ideal for "impossible" bends and immediate harmonizations. Detune modes add subtle thickness (like doubling), while the Drop Tune section is designed to preserve attack and stability during tuning changes. This is typically the kind of effect favored by expressive and creative players like Jack White, Matt Bellamy, Tom Morello, Steve Vai, or Tim Henson.

I don't know how I managed to go without this effect all these years. At first, I opened it, looked at all the buttons and thought "I don't think I'm going to figure this out" Actually, you have to divide the pedal into 6 uses. From left to right: -The harmonys immerse us in somewhat quirky but nice universes. This is not the function I use the most. -The octaves next to it raise or lower the note with the center pedal. It's quite practical when, for example, you set it to "2 octave" and play a heavy, saturated rhythm, then press the effect pedal while playing a chord in the highs to get that great relief. -The ascending notes will raise all notes by a half step if I'm not mistaken -The descending notes will lower all notes by a half step, however. So you can tune in C or D and use the pedal with 2 octaves higher when you press it and it really kicks. Anyway, it took me two days to fully understand it but I don't regret it. At first, I bought it thinking you could make a "double voice" to mimic a guitar solo double but that's not the case. However, there are really more interesting things to do with it.... (Show more)

Perfect great this pedal that I really prefer to the Whammy 5 (not foot-controllable) because for live and improvisation the Digitech FS3x footswitch is really essential and without latency

I've been using this pedal for a long time, and it fits many contexts! The drop function is really handy for playing metal without detuning! And the choruses are welcome too

Just one of the best accessories to add to your pedalboard. Easy to use, the tone change is clean and without too much sound distortion.

It is very sturdy, I think it will accompany me all my life. However, I find the ease of use slightly complicated at the beginning

I had wanted to buy a Whammy for a long time. And it's done. The "Drop Tune" function is just magical. Very very good product.

Much more expensive than a few months ago, but impossible to find second-hand. Great pedal for Morello, Jack White, and much more with the DT mode. Synthetic beyond two octaves. Perfect tracking. Power supply included, no noise. Perfect.
