DigiTech HammerOn

Digitech · pedal

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.
