'The best Whammy pedal so far? We think so. If you've ever fancied giving one a go, the time is now'.


The newest incarnation of the legendary DigiTech Whammy boasts an number of new functions including 'Drop Tune'. Guitarist give their verdict in the latest issue awarding the pedal with their 'Guitarist Choice' award.

'...the main advance with the Whammy DT is the drop tuning function. It shifts your tuning either up or down by up to seven semitones, plus a full octave and a dry/octave mix option'.

'What's more, the DT also features a momentary switch that turns the drop tune setting in and out instantaneously. This allows you, for example, to go from playing a riff in E to D without detuning the guitar, removing a capo or investing in a seven-string guitar'.

'The Whammy DT is a unique pedal and if you fancy joining the ranks of some of the guitar's greatest and most innovative players then this is the version to add to your pedalboard'.

'Easy to use and with a robust construction, it can provide a powerful addition to your arsenal whether you play metal, country or styles in between: how many pedals can you say that about?'
