DigiTech Whammy
®
()
The DigiTech Whammy
®
is an effect that uses an Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the
incoming signal, or add a bendable harmony with the original signal. As the Pedal is moved, the
note bends either up or down. When DigiTech Whammy is selected, it is automatically placed
before the Amp modeling as shown in the block diagram on page 13.
Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn
counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post
(appears after the Noise Gate effect).
ShiftAmount-Knob3 selects the interval and direction of the pitch bend. Choices are
as follows:

(1 octave above)
(2 octaves above)

(one octave down)
(octave up/down)
PedalPosition-Knob5 provides a manual control of the Whammy pedal position.

Mix - Knob 6 adjusts the Whammy mix. Ranges from to .
Pitch Shift ()
A Pitch Shifter copies the incoming signal, then shifts the pitch of the copy to a different note.
The shifted note is then mixed back with the original signal, sounding as if two guitars were play-
ing different notes.
Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn
counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post
(appears after the Noise Gate effect).
ShiftAmount-Knob3 selects the interval of the shifted pitch. Ranges from (2
octaves below) to (2 octaves above).
Mix - Knob 6 controls the mix level of the shifted pitch. Ranges from to .
Detune ()
A Detuner makes a copy of your incoming signal, takes the copied signal slightly out of tune from
the original, then mixes the two signals together. The result is a doubling type of effect as if two
guitars were playing the same part together.
Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn
counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post
(appears after the Noise Gate effect).
ShiftAmount-Knob3 adjusts the amount of detune shift. Ranges from to
cents.
Level - Knob 6 controls the mix of the detuned note. Ranges from to .
