This ia a quick demo of a Whammy V standing in for five other pieces:
a chorus pedal,
a bass guitar,
a vibrato tailpiece,
a multi-octave pedal,
and a B-bender.
NOTE: I don't spend much time here on the "main" Whammy sound, since I've touched on it in several other videos. If you'd like to hear the Whammy at its Whammy-est, I recommend Audioslave's "Like a Stone" be the next video you watch! Digitech should build a statue of Tom Morello outside of their main offices.
All music played on my Fender American Standard Stratocaster loaded with the Seymour Duncan "Everything Axe" set.
Thanks for watching! If you would be so kind as to like, comment, and subscribe, I'd really appreciate it!

This pedal was the best money ive ever spent in my life probably, loads of fun. And its insane how much creativity it impulses by itself.
Definitely!
The Digitech whammy DT Pitch shifting pedal is the best pedal I've ever owned and used!!
I agree!
It's nice to hear someone use this as an actual functional alternative to a tremolo, rather than the usual octave up weeeeooooo weeeeoooooo.
Thanks!! I appreciate you checking it out!!
I just love it when people use their gears to it's full potential. This is insane bro!!
Awesome, thank you!!!
This demo sold me as much or more than the others. The pedal steel thing was brilliant
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate the feedback.
Never thought or seen the use as a B-bender. That's, sounds freaking good !
Oh thanks!! It’s way fun once you get the hang of it
I’m lurking with intent! What a great idea and video. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for checking it out!!
I been so wanting a b bender for ten years but I'm an effects junkie too and I was already getting a whammy to replace the one I used to have like 15 years. Thanks to this guy I can fake it til I make it
Nice demo, Too many people dismiss the Whammy pedal as a gimmick or buy one and do not use it creatively but when you explore it there are many things that can be done with it. I own a Whammy DT which also has the extra pitch shifting intervals and these can also be used with the Whammy effects too which really increases the possibilities.
Thanks for checking it out! I'd really like to get ahold of a Whammy DT. The pitch shifting at any half step interval would knock out most of my need for a capo, which is and of itself would be huge!
Where do you put whammy DT on your pedal chain? :)
I own one too and absolutely love it! Like my creativity was reborn :)
Basically right up front. I like to run it before dirt (seems less harsh) and before my delays and so forth. I basically just keep a buffer and volume pedal in front of it.
This is how videos should be made- this is perfection.
Your pedal board would give me a heart palpations, I wanttttttt
Thanks! I'm hoping to put up the updated version soon.... it has changed quite a bit since this video. Thanks for watching!!
Likewise. I can't tell if I'm aroused or intimidated
Thank you for running this pedal through a cleaner channel. Awesome music!
Thanks!!!
Just to let you know this is a great video and it watched three times in a row and subbed your channel. Will now look at the other videos in this channel
Love that song. Your playing is awesome.
Oh, thanks so much man!! I really appreciate you watching!
Well played with good music. Digitech should send you a check and/or gear
Thanks so much!! If they’d like to I can shoot them my address.... ha ha ha
Definitely need to. This video is the main selling point for me.
Glad it was helpful!!
Beautiful psychedelic sounds, thank you for sharing!
2:22 is nice kind of sounds like a steel guitar vibe sound
PMTluke that's what I thought for sure... I love the sound of steel guitar! Wish I could play one. Ha ha
This is a really great video. I especially love the b bender example here. I never though to do that. I'm gonna have to try that with my lap steel.
Thanks so much! Glad you dug it.
Ugh now I want one 😓 wish I could afford one rn. Loved the sounds you were getting in the last clip man great video
Thanks!! It's definitely a great pedal to have!
Very helpful. I like your style.
Thanks! Glad you dig it.
Cool soundscapes at the end
PMTluke that's great of you to say! Thank you.
I gave away my whammy 2 and picked this one up and the drop. Strange, I can find a lot of uses for these. Especially polyphonic.
For sure! So versatile. Thanks for watching!!
Good demo video, I was trying to watch this to convince me to buy one, but have concluded its not going to help me with my type of playing, sounds cool, but the video more shows your very accurate playing skill
Thanks for checking it out! I appreciate the feedback
This is a great demonstration. Thank you
I’m very glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for checking it out!!!
Mad goosebumps off that tone n choice, mate - solid ✊
Oh, thanks!!! I really appreciate you saying that!!
@@S19NALC14AIN inspiration for days - looper a new addition n feeling it out rn, dreamy-punchy-ambient that you do is right up my lane, man ✊
That's excellent! I hope you dig it. Loopers are HIGHLY underrated and misunderstood if you ask me. Good for so much more than just 10 hour long improv jams!!!
@@S19NALC14AIN man, I keep coming back for those mad swells - plays with the feels so good 😥
Thank you!!!
Excellent video. Good contrast to the more gimmicky videos out there
Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that, and I'm glad you dug it.
I love the samples/progressions/riffs you use in your videos-really good stuff. I would love to get my hands on a b-bender some day...
Thanks! Me, too. I've never actually used a B-bender, sadly.
Well-made videos here. Very professional. You know your stuff, man!
Mr G that's awesome of you to say, thanks so much!
Awesome video, mate! As if I wasn't already gas'ing for a whammy, now it's definitely a necessity!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out. And yes-- you should totally get one!
Excellent video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
Are there tabs for what you were playing I really like the way it sounds and id love to be able to play it
Came here after getting a cheap Whammy 2 and realized it also does chorus in addition to the octaves thing.
Yeah, and the chorus is great!! Thanks for watching!
Love this video about the Digitech whammy good informational video thanks brother
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
That B-bender trick is cool, I've never seen that before? Might have to dust of the Whammy pedal and give it a go!
Johno Madgwick I've only recently landed on it myself. Under a compressor with some delay and 'verb it's definitely a lot of fun!
Great vid. I really like the sound you’re getting around 2:20
_church_music_ Tutorials thanks so much! I'm glad you dug it.
Brilliant 💖 Just bought one on Reverb 💕
Holy crap man. This is awesome. I have to have one.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. They are amazing pedals
@@S19NALC14AIN I have a question though. I do a few drop tuned songs with some groups I fill in with. I ordered a whammy dt do you think I can get the steel guitar (b bender) sound with it as well?
As I understand it the DT will let you do both at the same time. My buddy has one and the flexibility is awesome. Thanks for watching!!
@@S19NALC14AIN cool thanks. I'll keep you posted.
Please do!
Whammy is an amazing pedal. Although I don't use it much, when I do it hits the spot! Tom Morello has it mastered I think..
Bradley Mlekush you are absolutely right-- Tom Morello is the master! I touched on a sort-of "Like a Stone" type usage in a couple other videos, but I can't do any of the crazy Rage/Prophets stuff he has going on. Thanks for the feedback!
Wow, what a pedal collection you have. I want to buy some modulation pedals, what do you recommend?
Davidsgrunge thank you so much! As far as a first modulation pedal, I'd have to recommend starting with a phaser. Mine is a Blackout Effectors Whetstone, and it is full of features and does several other effects. I love it! But if space is an issue, you'd be in great hands with an MXR Phase 90 or Phase 95. Hope that helps!
Are you playing your own songs in this demo or are they other people's songs? I absolutely adore this sound. I bought a Whammy 5 and never could get any sounds that I liked. Was just getting ready to sell it but then found YOUR video and what you show is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks
Oh, thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I love mine! In all these videos I try to just keep it generic and play common progressions. I appreciate the comment!!!
Nice dude. I love the b bender thing. That's actually my number 2 axe. Go back to some of my older videos and find the Durham sex-drive, there's actually a pretty decent b-bender solo on that one. Good stuff man!
GlennWallaceMusic awesome! Soon as I get to some Wi-Fi I'll check it out!
Hello, such great sounds you create here.. can you explain a little further how to create the B bender sound please?
I've been wondering a bit more about the Digitech Whammy and what all it can do! I love Fast Fret too! This actually doesn't have to do with the Digitech, but do you personally like the Wampler Ego? I've been looking into compressors for a while and I like it the best.
Kaispinjitsu the Whammy is absolutely killer. You should take one for a spin for sure! Thanks for checking out my video!
Excellent video very interesting a lot of stuff there I didn’t know cheers
KARL SHERIDAN thank you so much! It's awesome of you to take the time to check it out!
How are you eliminating extra noise when combining all of these pedals? My old Les Paul with P-90s can't take any compression or dirt pedal I've tried without producing a ton of noise.
+Mr G I've got single-size humbuckers in my Strat. That helps a lot. Also, the pedals I use almost all have surprisingly low noise floors (the Erupter Fuzz and the Custom Comp probably being the loudest).
P90s being a single coil will always have hum unless they're run together out of phase to cancel out the hum like a humbuckers does. Many newer guitars wire single coil pickups this way so when you combine them you lose the hum but can still use the single coils and get that nice twangy quack sound.
Very true! Thanks.
I have a question. I want to change only 1/2 step the tune of my guitar for a live presentation, this is possible with the Whammy V (no the Whammy DT)?
Sadly no. I do believe the DT is the only one for that, or perhaps the little standalone... the Ricochet??
@aleaudioguitar -- (Sorry, late to the party ...)
Unfortunately, you can't tune a half step down directly using the Whammy 5. But (in Whammy mode) you can select "2ND DOWN" (a whole step down), and then tune it a half step up with a capo (on the first fret), resulting in a half step down (for toe down on the pedal).
Not sure if that was helpful (and/or a bit late), though ...
Can you use a whammy pedal to get a 7th string sound? I’ve been craving that sound but don’t want to drop the bucks to get another guitar
Yep! Whammy mode down a fifth
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
Was this done with whammy 4 or whammy 5??? I just bought a whammy 20th anniversary edition.... it’s basically a whammy 4 but in chrome.... looks sick next to my gold dime wah that I took out of its original casing and installed it in the gold wah casing.....
Nice! That sounds awesome. This is a 5
@@S19NALC14AIN can you tell me what’s the difference between the 4 and 5? I’m
New to the whammy world....
@@xvx6663 to be honest with you I’m not too sure!! This Five is the only one I’ve ever owned.... and also the oldest one I’ve ever used! The few others I’ve messed with have been 5s, bass whammy, or DT
Great Video!.. Love that Pedal Long time =)
Bloody Vengeance thanks! That's great of you to say.
Great video! Thanks for the tips. What song were you playing at 2:32? It sounds really nice.
Mr.Sand-Oval thank you so much! That little clip, like pretty much all of them, is just a generic, common chord progression and not any specific song. That one is particular one is pretty common in modern church music, and seemed fitting. I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the feedback!
S19NAL C14AIN Oh alright thanks for letting me know.
Mr.Sand-Oval no problem! Ask away, it's why I'm here! I just subscribed to your channel.
so much love
I really appreciate it! Thanks for checking it out!
2:55 just a little pedalboard.
Just a tiny one!!!
Tom Morello Joined the Group
Ha ha!
ah man now i want one bad
They are certainly worth the price! I will say though, if you end up getting one check your current situation on your power source. High draw. Thanks for watching!
Can it go a half-step up?
Not this model, but the DT model will
Thanks for watching this!!
This is awesome though I have to admit: I'm not getting that wonderful B-Bender sound you're doing. You're using the third patch on the harmony function the ▽4th ▽3rd right?
Thanks! And yes, that's how I was doing it. Just rocking toe to heel nice and slowly between the two!
@@S19NALC14AIN Thank you - I'll keep working with it.
Right on!!!
If you have any more/further questions don't hesitate!
@@S19NALC14AIN Respect! Also I realized: I had my guitar volume down low because I'm in my apartment. I know the Whammy, PS6, OC3 and most "pitch shifting" pedals prefer the volume maxed for effect - so I'll try again tonight. This is what happens when you're not playing shows because of the quarantine. Thanks again for your kindness and for showing us how it's done!
Do you know if that B-Bender thing can be done on the old XP100 Whammy/Wah combo?
That’s a good question! As long as it has “harmony” capabilities and not just straight pitch shifting it should
Nice going mate...
Hanner Gunsen thank you!
can i switch harmony on/off while using the pitch shift w/ expression pedal . or a separate plug in foot button ?
As far as I am aware it can’t do two modes at once, unfortunately. That would be great, though!!
Thank you very much. 🖖🏽🙃
What was the first song you played
Very cool. I want buy this pedal too. Very Beaty effect))
Yeah, it's a total keeper! One note: if you get it and plan to run it off of a power supply rather than its wall-wart, you'll need something high-current. Thanks for watching, hope you scoop one up!
S19NAL C14AIN thanks for this info))
No problem! I love helping people learn things easily rhat i learned the hard way. Ha ha ha. Hit me up if you have any questions, any time!
Up 1 harmony is a nice sound at 3:32
هل يستخدم للعود
Can you "fake" a floyd rose tremolo?
Yeah, for sure! Although only one direction at a time... there is no setting to go up and down all at once.
that chord progression sounds like "In this river" by black label society, either way sounds great.
Thanks!!!
Sounds like MGMT kids Em,C,G,D. Nice demo.👍🎸🇬🇧
2:33 song?
I wonder it too :/ Someone wrote to comment ''Mr.Sand-Oval'' but I can't find anything
Just generic chords! Probably a lot of actual songs but just a handy progression in this instance...
But it's a little sounds like Wasting Love from Iron Maiden
Cool stuff! I disliked, loved and liked your comment this morning trying to click your name to watch this... (fat fingers) lol... I never thought of the B-G bender thing... so obvious but it eluded me completely... great idea! I love whammy’s but sooooo huge! I had a ricochet for a minute but sold it. I prefer having the rocker.
jobyregrets thank you, I'm glad you dug it! I do the same thing all the time, especially trying to view likes on Instagram posts. Haha. I haven't messed with the ricochet, but you just confirmed my suspicions about how I'd feel towards it.
pierre pouget I was 8. Ha ha ha! I don't think I know that BOSS unit. I'll have to look it up!
Woow excelent video!!! Settings in this part 4:16 ??
Thanks! The rhythm guitar at that point is using the shallow detune setting, and the lead is using the Down a 4th setting. I believe the lead is also running through my Moog MF Drive, but I can't remember exactly how I had that one set. The swells are the Down a 4th/Down a 3rd setting and my BOSS FV-30H volume pedal. The bass line is in the Down and Octave Whammy setting. The last part that comes in is Octave up setting with the sample and hold mode on my Spatial Delivery. Thanks for watching!
@@S19NALC14AIN hell yeah!!!
@0:58 seconds "What are those!!!"
The detune settings are the bottom-most settings on the dials. Very cool non-oscillating chorus!!
okay what is that opening song!
Kind of a lot of songs... just a real common chord progression, not specifically any one thing. Thanks for checking it out!
Wats the song from intro
Thznks for watching! The song is just something random and generic I came up with.

tantos pedales para tocar en casa? haha mejor un multi efecto.. pero gustos son gustos, buen video (Y)
Thank you!!
I love my Whammy, I'm on my second one which is also starting to die....just so beat up from years on the road. I just subbed, please consider subbing back. Cheers. Your pal, Ronco
mylungpuppy thanks so much! Subscribing now.
This video is broken :(
Yeah, that's new.... sorry! Thanks for letting me know.
Will share your TH-cam channel with friends and family musicians check out my little girl she has a TH-cam channel she’s a drummer check out Sierra Esquivel TH-cam thanks brother I subscribed 🎼🎶🎸👏
1-6-3-7, the same boring chord progression, all the time, in all platforms, and here is so... Like all shitty pop music. Anyway, not a bad vid for demoing, but i hear these four chords everywhere
you hear them everywhere because they’re good chords
@bujdosó jános -- 🙄
@bujdosó jános -- 4 years ago, you were definitely "that guy". I hope your personality has evolved in the meantime. Not holding my breath, though ...
i know someone said it already but the thing at 2:22 is sooo beautiful. steel guitar vibes.
Nano pog ehx or this pedal?
This pedal for me... the versatility of the Whammy pushes it over the top. I haven't spent enough time with POGs to really say which is better for strictly adding octaves, though I can say I'm happy with the tracking, etc. on the Whammy.
@@S19NALC14AIN i think the same, the wammy Is more and great for less money, thanks (8
Whammy, sorry :$
Exactly! Thanks for checking out my video.
Ehx slammi plus is comparable i think, not nano pog.
