DigiTech Whammy HammerOn guitar-effektpedal

The DigiTech Whammy HammerOn is a pitch-shifting guitar effect pedal that combines classic Whammy pitch bending with innovative Hammer-On/Pull-Off simulation, allowing guitarists to create rapid interval jumps without touching the strings. Its most powerful capability is the ability to instantly shift pitch by selectable intervals using a momentary footswitch, enabling realistic hammer-on and pull-off techniques at any tempo.

Advantages

The pedal offers a wide range of Whammy intervals from a 2nd up to 2 octaves, both up and down, controlled by a latching footswitch for dramatic pitch effects. The dedicated Hammer-On/Pull-Off section provides intervals from a 2nd to an octave in either direction, triggered by a momentary footswitch for quick, expressive articulation. A dry/wet mix control allows blending the processed signal with the original for subtle to extreme effects. The metal chassis ensures durability for stage use, and buffered bypass maintains signal integrity when the effect is off.

Suitable for

• Electric guitarists seeking pitch-shifting and Whammy effects
• Players wanting to simulate hammer-on and pull-off techniques electronically
• Musicians needing precise interval control for creative solos and riffs
• Live performers requiring a rugged, reliable pedal
