DigiTech Whammy MN Mono Neon
Digitech · pedal
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.
