Digitech WHAMMY DT Guitar Effect
The DigiTech Whammy DT is a classic pitch-shifting pedal that adds instant drop and raised tuning to the legendary Whammy effect. It steps the guitar signal up or down by seven half steps or a full octave with one press, eliminating awkward tuning pauses between songs and keeping the performance flowing. The expression pedal adds real-time pitch bending for classic Whammy dives.
- Nine harmony intervals plus ten Whammy modes and two detune effects in a single stompbox.
- Momentary footswitch triggers hammer-on and pull-off shifts for instant pitch dives mid-song.
- True bypass preserves the dry signal when the effect is off; 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion at 44.1 kHz.
- 5-pin DIN MIDI input and 1/4" TS I/O make it easy to integrate into any pedalboard or MIDI rig.
DigiTech Whammy DT — Classic Pitch Shifting with Drop and Raised Tuning
The DigiTech Whammy DT pairs the iconic Whammy pitch-bending engine with a dedicated Drop Tune section, letting guitarists retune without touching the tuning pegs. One press steps the signal up or down by seven half steps or a full octave, so key changes happen in the time it takes to stomp a switch. 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion at 44.1 kHz keeps tracking solid under clean and high-gain conditions.
What sets the Whammy DT apart from other pitch shifters
Unlike a standard Whammy, this version adds a separate Drop Tune selector knob and a momentary footswitch for hammer-on and pull-off shifts the moment it is held. The dry signal can be blended back in on the octave-up setting to emulate a 12-string guitar without doubling instruments. A road-ready metal chassis and 5-pin DIN MIDI input complete the package.
Pitch shifting range and modes for live performance
The pitch engine covers Whammy, Harmony, and Detune effects for live performance.
- Pitch Bend Range: -3 to +2 octaves — covers dive bombs, octave-up leads, and sub-bass doubling.
- Harmony Modes: 9 intervals — octave up/down, fifth down/fourth up, fourth down/third down.
- Whammy Modes: 10 effects — from 2-octave up bends to classic dive bombs.
- Detune Range: -4 to -30 cents — adds subtle chorus-like thickness to clean passages.
Drop Tune section and momentary footswitch for instant key changes
The dedicated Drop Tune side handles retuning between songs without swapping guitars.
- Drop Tune Range: 7 semitones up or down, plus full octave — covers standard drop tunings in metal and rock.
- Momentary Footswitch: Hold to engage — produces hammer-on and pull-off pitch dives during solos.
- True Bypass: Yes — the dry signal passes through untouched when the effect is off.
I/O, MIDI, and chassis specs for pedalboard integration
