True bypass switching preserves your tone at all times





What are your pedals doing to your sound when they aren't in use? If you're rocking a DigiTech Whammy, then your guitar tone is safe. That's because the Whammy features true bypass circuitry. True bypass circuitry means that when you disengage your Whammy, your guitar signal passes cleanly through the pedal, unaffected by any of its background circuitry. This eliminates signal loss and noise, while simultaneously reducing the effecting length of your signal path, reducing the effect of RF and EM noise in the environment.





MIDI compatibility for ease of use





Full MIDI connectivity allows you to hook the DigiTech Whammy up to any MIDI device and send or receive pitch-bend information. This lets you control the Whammy from any MIDI controlling device. You can put the pedal in your rig and control it from your keyboard, MIDI foot controller, or almost any MIDI device.
