That Pedal Show | The Wonderful World Of Whammy & Pitch Shifting [A Very Basic Intro] @ThatPedalShow | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 31 seconds ago.
The world’s favourite pitch shifter gets Dan and Mick’d. Oh dear…
Welcome to the show! Get ready for 45 minutes of Dan being genuinely enthusiastic and me wanting the end to come with vengeance and burning hellfire.
The mental states of two middle-aged men notwithstanding, The Digitech Whammy is without question among the all-time classic guitar pedals, put to immense effect via artists as diverse as Tom Morello, John Scofield and Jack White. Its genre-defining pitch shifting initially delivered a glitchy, badly-tracking mess and while the ensuing years have brought a quantum leap in processing power, it is that idiosyncratically unnatural sound of the Whammy that has won it such a vast legion of devoted users.
With that in mind, we we start with a basic introduction to the Whammy before discussing some other ways to introduce real-time pitch shifting to your tones.
Enjoy the show…
