DigiTech Bass Whammy Pitch Shift Bass Pedal

DigiTech brings back their most famous effect to bass players! The Bass Whammy pitch shift pedal gives you nine different expressive modes to shift and slide your notes at different musical intervals. Instantly shift up two octaves to play a lead line, or drop your bass another octave for ultra-low bass lines. Even at extreme settings, the Bass Whammy sounds surprisingly fluid. One thing bassists especially like is that you've got two options: you can shift your entire bass tone, or layer the pitch-shifted tone on top for harmony effects that leaves your fundamental tone intact.

DigiTech Bass Whammy Pitch Shifter/Harmony Pedal at a Glance:

  • Create a wide range of de-tuned, harmonized, and pitch-shifted tones
  • Smooth, glitch-free pitch manipulation in Chord mode
  • Create raw, glitchy pitch effects in Classic mode
Create a wide range of de-tuned, harmonized, and pitch-shifted tones

Sure, you can use the Bass Whammy pedal just like the whammy bar on an electric guitar for quick bends and divebombs, but that's just scratching the surface. Its detune mode lets you create lush chorus effects or mind-bending vibrato effects. You can harmonize your tone and even sweep between different harmony intervals. Best of all, its true bypass operation means your tone stays completely intact when you hit the bypass footswitch.

Smooth, glitch-free pitch manipulation in Chord mode

DigiTech loaded the Bass Whammy with their most advanced polyphonic pitch-shifting algrorithm for incredibly smooth pitch modulations. It's called Chord mode because you can even shift the pitch of complex chords without any audible glitches.

Create raw, glitchy pitch effects in Classic mode

The original DigiTech Whammy-Wah pedal sounded hyper, belligerent, and downright glitchy at times - and creative guitarists like Tom Morello and Dimebag Darrell absolutely loved it. Turn to the Classic mode on the Bass Whammy, and you'll get the original pitch-shift algorithm in all its glitchy glory.
