The true bypass sold it for me. I've had a lot of digitech effects through the years, but I hate the DSP bypass, which is why I quit using them. Great Demonstration.
I'm in a progressive rock/ alternative band and we are looking for pedals which will give us strange sounds in our songs/ solos, do you think this pedal is good for that?
Hi! Thanks for the video! The best I've found so far about this pedal. Just 1 question: The numbers shown on the right (drop down/up) are SEMI-TONES and not full TONES? Am I right? Which means, if you're tuned standard (EADGBE) and detune 1 step down on the pedal, then it tunes you into Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb, right? That's what I hear when you play (and about the 5 on Van Halen), but I just want to make sure... Thanks again!
great video bro. good job. very helpful for me cuz you used the correct type of distortion and played some soloing to show the functions of this great pedal. so many bad demos of this pedal on youtube but yours was great!!! :)
When I bought a Digitech Drop Pedal, I sent it back. Just because I experimented a noticeable latency, which to me was a little bit annoying! Does that pedal have the same issue?
The DT has according to the engineers the same processor but it is cleaner in tracking and to my ears also quicker. But - I am afraid you will still feel a latency. Problem is that it is the only product out there that does Pitchshifts and Whammy effects
It truly is a great pedal and a great demo video. Congratulations! Your English is also very good, don't feel awkward about fumbling the word "sixth!" Also, your German accent is very metal; good on ya! ;)
There is. Just set it to -1 octave (or however far you want to drop tune) and adjust the treadle to the correct position. Granted, it takes a little bit longer to set up and make sure it's perfectly in tune, but it still works. I have a whammy 4 but it works the same in a whammy 5.
Alternatively the drop tune function on the whammy 4 drops you down a full tone (going on memory here) so you can use this function and set the treadle half way.
I really appreciate your video! I'm interested in the Whammy DT mostly for the +/- tuning and have read many bad reviews about problems with tracking or unnatural guitar sound when on clean channel. I understand the problem when you can hear the straight guitar sound mixed with the processed sound in a different key but besides that, does the processed sound OK by itself when you go + or - half or whole step on the clean electric or acoustic guitar? Thank you!
If you just need to detune your guitar you do not need the Whammy DT. There is a product which is called Drop Tune by Digitech which festures just the +/- part of the Whammy DT. Same processor but smaller pedal…check that out. I believe Petteri Sariola uses it for his acoustical work
@@ralfjung thank you for your reply. I believe the Drop only transpose down and not up;; the Ricochet also transposed but skips Eb. Yes, the DT is huge, heavy and I probably won't use most of the more insane whammy functions but the chorus effect is nice, some of the basic whammy functions can come in handy and the ability to transpose both up and down is great as long as they sound natural on clean or acoustic guitar.
The Whammy is not an intelligent pitch shifter which detects intervalls. Although you can change i.g between major and minor third determined through the pedal position, but it works the same for every tuning. So there is no particular setting or trick or preset for an open tuning….
+ibrahim alattas This might be a bit late to tell you but perhaps it just needed to be calibrated? If you don't use it for a while, you have to recalibrate it. It's in the manual.
7 years too late, but I think it means effect is 100% bypassed, meaning it is as if the signal chains pure straight through as if the pedal being bypassed never existed. So no wonky signal interference or artifacts sneaking into or remaining in spite of allegedly "bypassing" the signal.
I was totally wondering the same thing! I betcha it can, as it can Whammy the DT section! It would be great to kill two birds with one stone and take care of my needs for an octave and whammy effect with one pedal!

finally a good demo of this pedal, i've been watching all the others on youtube and they're all crap. thank you!
Thank you for this excellent demonstration. You are such a nice person, as i remember when you worked in Mannheim so many years ago .
What a great pedal, with so many features. Thanks for the excellent review.
ワミーを踏むとギューイーンという音がする。ワミー２オクターヴ下にすることでアーミング効果を得ることができる。急降下爆撃の音をアームを使わず出せる。ドロップチューンセクションでマイナス１にすると半音下げになる。半音を７つまで下げられる。モーメンタリースイッチを踏み続けると設定に応じて音程が上下する。12弦ギターのような音が出せる。コーラス効果が出る。１オクターヴ下の設定にするとベースギターの音が出る。ドロップチューンセクションにオクターヴ下＋原音を出せる。足のつま先側とかかと側で違うハーモニーを作ることが出来る。例えば、かかと側マイナー３ｒｄにセット、つま先側がメジャー３ｒｄに出来る。
yes it is, you can also use weird fx like the line 6 fm4, a ring modulator or equalisers. just to make a special sound
6:55 yeah I caught that too. "it gives you a nice irritating sound for ballads.". Haha. No argument here.
The true bypass sold it for me. I've had a lot of digitech effects through the years, but I hate the DSP bypass, which is why I quit using them. Great Demonstration.
You are the master of demos and instructional vids!!!!
Now that is what i call a perfect review and instructional video!! great job!
I'm in a progressive rock/ alternative band and we are looking for pedals which will give us strange sounds in our songs/ solos, do you think this pedal is good for that?
I think definently
why does he contrast E flat with A?
DISTORTION! FINALLY :D Great demo
Well done! Very instructive & excellent references for all settings.
I probably should have bought this instead of the Whammy 4. Love the sub-octave feature in drop tune section.
I love this guy
欲しいよーーー

Michael - yes, half steps/semi-tones. There's another video here on YT that states it's in whole steps - that's wrong.
Awesome review and a nice guitar lesson too Ralf!

Nice vid thanks. "We Germans are big into yodeling"
very helpful, thank you! "We Germans love yodeling" lol
It truly is a great pedal and a great demo video. Congratulations! Your English is also very good, don't feel awkward about fumbling the word "sixth!" Also, your German accent is very metal; good on ya! ;)
I think what sold it for me was the accent.
So with the Whammy 5 there's no way to use it as a drop tune (or up tune) pedal without getting a harmony or whammy effect?
There is. Just set it to -1 octave (or however far you want to drop tune) and adjust the treadle to the correct position. Granted, it takes a little bit longer to set up and make sure it's perfectly in tune, but it still works. I have a whammy 4 but it works the same in a whammy 5.

how do you set pedal for open G tuning
The Whammy is not an intelligent pitch shifter which detects intervalls. Although you can change i.g between major and minor third determined through the pedal position, but it works the same for every tuning. So there is no particular setting or trick or preset for an open tuning….
well done, thank you
felisitaciones x los videos te egradesco un monton sigue adelante
Great video thank you
7:00 irritating is right...
Thanks
exactly what i was thinking!
there is always one !
magic
mine stopped working and there is no where to fix it.
+ibrahim alattas This might be a bit late to tell you but perhaps it just needed to be calibrated? If you don't use it for a while, you have to recalibrate it. It's in the manual.
09:40 struggle is real
I Like That ,Very Good.
Did he say his guitar is tuned to regular A?
yes
What does true bypass mean?
7 years too late, but I think it means effect is 100% bypassed, meaning it is as if the signal chains pure straight through as if the pedal being bypassed never existed. So no wonky signal interference or artifacts sneaking into or remaining in spite of allegedly "bypassing" the signal.
very good tuto video bout this pedal-- but I hesitate whether I should buy this DT or the whammy 5 please someone help me =) t-you
so is this the best harmonizer pedal? That's all I would need this for and don't want to spent 500 on an eventide
not a real harmonizer
fragment7 what is considered a real harmonizer?
Bobby Stoychev something like the boss harmonist, eventide pitch factor
great vid
HA HA ! we Germans are big in yodeling.
Thanks dude lol
You were already in Eb when you said you were in 4/40 tuning. All you did was go down to D. Work on your ears, partner!
A=440.
I was totally wondering the same thing! I betcha it can, as it can Whammy the DT section! It would be great to kill two birds with one stone and take care of my needs for an octave and whammy effect with one pedal!
