Digitech Whammy DT Pitch Shifting Guitar Pedal

SKU CH-BNN8-FFWXK

Pitch-shifting pedal with whammy, harmony, detune and drop-tune effects plus MIDI control and momentary footswitch for hammer-on and pull-off sounds

  • Whammy, Harmony and Detune effects expand your sonic palette
  • Drop and raised tuning in half-step or full-octave steps
  • Momentary footswitch triggers hammer-on, pull-off and sudden note shifts
  • MIDI In enables external control of all Whammy parameters
  • Switchable True Bypass and DSP Bypass preserve signal integrity

What this pedal does

The DigiTech Whammy DT adds drop-tuning, raised-tuning, harmony and detune effects to the original Whammy pitch-shifting engine. An onboard expression pedal controls the shift in real time, while a momentary footswitch triggers hammer-on and pull-off articulations or sudden chord changes. MIDI In lets an external controller change patches or sweep the pitch remotely.

Installation and common issues

Connect instrument, amplifier and optional MIDI controller with standard 1/4-inch and 5-pin DIN cables, then power the unit from a 9 V DC centre-negative supply (not included). The signal chain order matters: placing the pedal before drive effects keeps tracking clean, while putting it after can glitch on complex chords. Calibrate the expression pedal on first use or the sweep range will feel uneven.

Who should buy it and who should not

Guitarists and bassists who need instant alternate tunings, harmonised lines or whammy-bar dives without retuning will benefit. Players who only want a simple pitch shifter without expression control, or who require polyphonic drop-tune with zero latency, should look at dedicated polyphonic pitch pedals instead.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Whammy DT is working correctly after connecting it?

Engage the effect and rock the expression pedal; the pitch should shift smoothly up or down. Test the momentary footswitch for hammer-on/pull-off sounds and confirm MIDI control responds if a controller is connected.

What does the Whammy DT include and what must I provide separately?

The box contains the Whammy DT pedal only. You will need a 9 V DC centre-negative power supply, ¼-inch instrument cables for input and output, and a MIDI cable if you plan to use external MIDI control.

Which Whammy DT version should I choose for drop tuning and harmony effects?

This single model covers drop and raised tuning in half-step increments up to a full octave, plus Whammy, Harmony and Detune effects — no alternate versions or capacities are offered.
