DigiTech Whammy guitar tones

Songs whose original tone used a DigiTech Whammy. Don’t own one? GuitarToneAdapt re-creates the sound on the pedal and rig you actually have.

The DigiTech Whammy is a pitch-shifting pedal with an expression treadle that bends notes up or down whole octaves in real time, plus harmonised and dive-bomb effects. It’s Tom Morello’s octave-scream with Rage Against the Machine, Jack White’s pitch stabs and Muse’s synth-like leads. As a pitch effect it sits ahead of your dirt, so matching a Whammy tone is about the interval setting layered over your existing gain and EQ.
