Pitch Shiffters & Octave Generators (Whammy, Hog, ...)

[Ech0]

I didn't find any topic related on this kind of pedals so here it is...


You probably all know about new Digitech Whammy DT
official page for more info: http://www.digitech.com/en-US/products/whammy-dt





However...
i've found out that Jimmy Page already had the Whammy DT in 2009?!

stop at 3:03, you can se both switches (left and right, plus whammy bar in the middle)!

EDIT: its not the screw that bends whammy bar, and probably its not a whammy dt, but you can see somekind of mod!?!?!

If that thing's just a normal whammy, the drop tuned sound is going to suck. >.>

I was just thinking earlier today how much I want another HOG. D :

Whammy DT will be True bypass and also polyphonic. I'm guessing it will be without glitching effect on octave up/down or its the same on left side as whammy-4 and on the right side its polyphonic!

[McSpunckle]

Oh! Well if that's the case, it might be awesome!

[nieh]

So, its like a Whammy 4 with a morpheous drop tune atttached?

It looks like you'll need a separate Pedaltrain Jr just for that alone. If you bring along a TU-1000 you'll have the largest pedalboard of all time using just two pedals...

Size was my issue with the HOG + Footswitch too. I miss that pedal sometimes but switching to the POG2 has saved me like half a pedalboard. The Whammy DT looks cool but I've never tried any Whammy version that didn't sound like shit in my setup so my expectations are low.

actually new whammy isn't that larger as you may think...

Whammy DT
8.2” x 7.725” x 2.35” (W x D x H)

Whammy-4
6.3" x 8" x 2.5" (W x D x H)


So my guess is that the whammy bar is the same small as the one on Whammy-1.


couple of quotes:

Momentary footswitch for “hammer-on” and “pull-off” effects: You can instantly create hammer-on and pull-off effects during your performance with the momentary footswitch. Hold it on for quick chord shifts or note changes during your solo or a gritty bridge.

From the factory, the Whammy DT is set to True Bypass Mode. In this mode, the circuitry in the Whammy DT is completely bypassed when both Whammy and Drop Tune effects are off. If you have switched to DSP Bypass Mode and would like to switch back to True Bypass Mode, follow these steps...

...The benefit of using DSP bypass is so the Drop Tune Momentary footswitch can smoothly transition between momentary on and off states since the true bypass relay is removed from the circuit.
