Take Your Bass Tone to New Lows - or Highs!
DigiTech brings back their most famous effect to bass players! The
Bass Whammy pitch shift pedal gives you nine different expressive modes
to shift and slide your notes at different musical intervals. Instantly
shift up two octaves to play a lead line, or drop your bass another
octave for ultra-low bass lines. Even at extreme settings, the Bass
Whammy sounds surprisingly fluid. One thing Sweetwater bassists
especially like is that you've got two options: you can shift your
entire bass tone, or layer the pitch-shifted tone on top for harmony
effects that leaves your fundamental tone intact.
DigiTech Bass Whammy Pitch Shifter/Harmony Pedal at a Glance:
- Create a wide range of de-tuned, harmonized, and pitch-shifted tones
- Smooth, glitch-free pitch manipulation in Chord mode
- Create raw, glitchy pitch effects in Classic mode
Create a wide range of de-tuned, harmonized, and pitch-shifted tones
Sure, you can use the Bass Whammy pedal just like the whammy bar on
an electric guitar for quick bends and divebombs, but that's just
scratching the surface. Its detune mode lets you create lush chorus
effects or mind-bending vibrato effects. You can harmonize your tone and
even sweep between different harmony intervals. Best of all, its true
bypass operation means your tone stays completely intact when you hit
the bypass footswitch.
Smooth, glitch-free pitch manipulation in Chord mode
DigiTech loaded the Bass Whammy with their most advanced polyphonic
pitch-shifting algrorithm for incredibly smooth pitch modulations. It's
called Chord mode because you can even shift the pitch of complex chords
without any audible glitches.
Create raw, glitchy pitch effects in Classic mode
The original DigiTech Whammy-Wah pedal sounded hyper, belligerent,
and downright glitchy at times - and creative guitarists like Tom
Morello and Dimebag Darrell absolutely loved it. Turn to the Classic
mode on the Bass Whammy, and you'll get the original pitch-shift
algorithm in all its glitchy glory.
