The DigiTech Whammy is legendary. Unfortunately, it takes up a lot of pedalboard real estate. The DigiTech Whammy Ricochet pitch shift pedal changes that. Instead of a bulky treadle, you control Whammy Ricochet with its momentary footswitch. And it's ridiculously easy: customize independent rise and fall time ballistics, hold down the footswitch, and dive-bomb to your heart's content. Seven selectable pitch intervals and a Range toggle switch provide you with plenty of tone-bending options. The guitarists at Sweetwater have had a blast re-creating their favorite classic Whammy pitch-shifting sounds with the DigiTech Whammy Ricochet. We've dreamed up a few new ones, too!
