The DigiTech Whammy is the iconic pitch shifting pedal that defined expressive, foot controlled pitch bending in modern guitar, used by players from Tom Morello and Jack White to Matt Bellamy. Its treadle sweeps pitch up or down by selectable intervals, from subtle whole steps to dramatic two octave dives, and it offers harmony intervals and detune effects alongside the classic whammy dive. Later versions add true bypass and a polyphonic mode that tracks full chords cleanly. It suits rock, metal, experimental and electronic leaning players who want screaming octave up leads, dive bomb effects, instant harmonies and creative pitch manipulation in a rugged, instantly recognizable expression pedal format.
The DigiTech HammerOn is a pitch and octave pedal that delivers instantaneous pitch jumps over a four-octave range, letting players use their feet to hammer onto notes beyond their hands' reach for faster, more intricate phrases. It has two independently programmable footswitches, a rapid-fire Trill function, and a DRY+ mode that adds harmony to the dry signal. In Impossible mode it alternates hammer-on pitch shifts between two programmable pitches, while Sequence mode steps through fully chromatic Drop and Capo transpositions. Engaging Trill produces techno-like note sequences with two, three, and five-note options plus tap tempo. Marketed as combining the power of seven pedals in one, it suits experimental, electronic-leaning, and lead players wanting playable pitch effects, drop tunings, and rhythmic trills from a single unit.
