Pedals that stack with the Digitech Whammy 5

EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter

The Dirt Transmitter's low-noise, stacking drive gives the Whammy 5's smooth pitch-shift real gain to push through.

ThorpyFX The Dane

The Dane's natural, dynamic overdrive gives the Whammy 5's smooth pitch-shift a rounder front end to push through.

Alexander Pedals SpaceXpander

Keep the SpaceXpander after the Whammy 5 — the smooth pitch-shift stays clean and the silent, spring-voiced reverb trails behind it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath

Keep the Afterneath after the Whammy 5 — the smooth pitch-shift stays clean and the shoegaze-style ambient wash trails behind it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
