DigiTech Bass Whammy
The DigiTech Bass Whammy is a dedicated pitch-shifting pedal designed specifically for bass guitarists, offering a range of expressive effects tailored to low-frequency instruments. It features two distinct tracking modes: Classic, which emulates the original monophonic Whammy's glitchy character, and Chord, which utilises advanced polyphonic tracking algorithms for smooth and accurate pitch shifts, even when playing chords. This versatility allows bassists to achieve both vintage-inspired and modern pitch-shifting effects.
The pedal provides 21 different pitch settings, encompassing Whammy, Harmony, and Detune effects. With the built-in expression pedal, players can control the pitch-bending amount in real-time, enabling dynamic performance capabilities. Additionally, the Bass Whammy includes a MIDI input, allowing for external control and integration into complex setups. Its true bypass circuitry ensures that the original tone remains unaltered when the effect is disengaged.
Constructed with a durable metal chassis, the Bass Whammy is built to withstand the rigours of live performance. It operates on a 9V DC power supply and features 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion, delivering high-quality audio processing. Whether aiming for subtle harmonies or dramatic pitch shifts, the DigiTech Bass Whammy offers a comprehensive solution for bassists seeking to expand their sonic palette.
