DigiTech Bass Whammy Pitch Shift and Harmony Pedal for Bass Guitar

Bass players often struggle to reach extreme pitch ranges or create rich harmonies without retuning or complex setups. The DigiTech Bass Whammy solves this by putting a full range of pitch shifting, harmony, and detune effects under your foot, with an integrated expression pedal for real-time control.

Who is it for

This pedal is for bassists who want to expand their sonic palette—from sub-octave drops to soaring octave-up leads, and everything in between. It’s ideal for rock, metal, funk, and experimental players who need reliable, stage-ready pitch effects.

Main features

• Classic Whammy pitch shifting with modes: 2 Octaves Down, 1 Octave Down, 1 Octave Up, 2 Octaves Up, and Dive Bomb.
• Harmony modes for rich intervals: 5th Up/Octave Up, 4th Up/7th Up, 5th Down/4th Down, 5th Down/Octave Down, 4th Down/3rd Down.
• Detune modes (Shallow and Deep) for chorus-like thickening without modulation.
• True bypass preserves your dry bass signal when the effect is off.
