Welcome back to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com. Today we're rallying around the Ricochet, from DigiTech. Taking the same guts from DigiTech's game-changing Whammy pedal, the Ricochet removes the foot pedal, allowing space-strapped guitarists to experience the pitch-perfect Whammy experience in a much smaller enclosure. To replicate the foot pedal in real time, the Whammy Ricochet relies on a momentary switch, with controls that dictate the rise and fall times of the shift, to simulate a foot sweeping the effect. Players can use this momentary setting to replicate the use of a whammy bar, instantly switch to a bass guitar setting or to explore the outer limits of what a guitar can sound like. The momentary option can be changed to latching for players who have relied upon the Whammy's crystalline pitch shifting technology to play in different pitches. This is a boon for players who also use loopers, as it allows them to create intricate harmonies on the fly. Plus, holding the footswitch gives you acces to two Whammy mode: Classic and Chord for original computer glitch or smooth polyphonic tracking. A LED ladder occupies the left side of the Ricochet, for exact measurement of where your tone sits in the pitch shift, allowing visual players to make precision adjustments mid-shift. Best of all, since the Ricochet contains the same pitch-shifting algorithm as its bigger brother, the transition to the smaller box is seamless. - เพลง
that Seven Nation Army+Like a Stone mashup was smooth
Thank you, I was proud of that one! -Andy
You’re amazing Andy
Ok, the intro medley blew me away. Jack White & Tom Morello, played by Andy. That makes 3 of my fav guitar players!
And the Edge of course😉
you are gay
A Bigsby that stays in tune!
+Alex Hollins Upvoting for underrated smartass remark.
haha clever...a Bigsby is a momentary analogue switch
This was a great idea from Digitech
YES. It's about time they made this pedal
Man, I want you in my band! I never cease to be amazed at how you find solidly useful & musical ways to apply these effects. Andy, man, you are amazing!
Dunebilly!
Looks like the Ricochet suits my purposes better than a full on Whammy
Dude holy shit. Didn’t expect to see you here lol. Love your videos man, and I agree this pedal is awesome.
ayyyyyyyyy
Amazing. Whang! Is here in the comments!
Totally, just bought one
Yeah this is a more cheaper option than the digitize house whammy 5, I’m loving it
i've always wanted a whammy for the glitchy octave up shit but it was too big to justify having. i was hoping they'd make something like this and im glad they did
+Neal Goldman Check out the Pitchfork, too.
+Neal Goldman Get a WH1 whammy. It's so much smaller then the VI & V's. This one looks awesome, but an expression input would have been awesome.
+countstoneula Yeah but it's hard to find one that still works well. It still goes for 500$
Pitchfork apparently has bad latency.
I have been waiting for years for this.
That feeling when some guy with not picks and one pedal does your riffs better.
So much hate for Jack White... I think it's funny. How about "that feeling when you think Jack white sucks but he still destroys you on guitar and is a very successful person"
Chromaesthesia He's right though
Chromaesthesia Not being Jack White is worth it
Most people don't even hate him for his guitar playing. It's the pretentious nature that gets us.
expanding on the most useable section of the DT! great job, DigiTech.
What a beautiful version! That intro song!
I think this was really smart of them...love the idea of the footswitch as the expression pedal.
These guys at Digitech are mad geniuses ! Even some of their old stuff is still "the shiznik" !
Nasher188 TC electronic has copied this pedal switch technology.
And your point is........???
Boss did it first on the PS6 Harmonist
I like the on-off aspect of it
The bass playing along w the distorted rhythms,genius ,I knew when I put this on,andys approach to the pedal would be way better,that technique makes me want to buy it. I can do bass intros and blend in my guitar? Why even have a bassist??? I love it. U rule Andy,thanks for that tip. And for doing your job well. No contest, these demos r the best on YT
Subterranean Homesick Alien sold me this pedal
waiting for him to do my iron lung
Andy... you just have TOO much fun with your job!! What inspires you to come up with all of the cool licks that you've been laying down for us all these years?
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Noone - "Let's not have a semi tone shift as an option."
Digitech- "OK!"
It's for ppl with floyd roses
I just had this same idea recently, they obviously had it first. It makes so much sense, the Whammy is really only useful on the toe up and toe down positions, you don't really use it half cocked like a wah.
Eventide's Pitchfactor is been doing this for years :D
Only thing I would change is moving the knobs a bit further away from the bypass switch. They’re a bit close to each other and might cause some of the knobs to get kicked accidentally, especially mid song, when running on adrenaline on stage. Notice how his shoe gets very close, hovering over the the “range” and “pitch” knobs. A minor thing, but would bug me when playing on a dark stage. Something I don’t want to think about when playing live.
Great review man! Cool sounds too!
Super smooth blend between Seven Nation Army and Like A Stone! Thanks for this!
Excellent demo - I’m sold!
Always awesome Andy! Thanks man!!
>Today we're rallying around the Ricochet
I see what you did there.
Exactly the pedal i was searching for at a reasonable price, i might buy one
kinda nice to have this in a more compact pedal.
Excellent demo!!!!!
Pretty nice, I love my old Whammy V5 but can't fit it on my board. Problem solved.
Love the fact that it's only 300mA so no issues with the power supply, bonus!
Fantastic demo 👌
I remember back when the Boss PS-5 came out, I said: Argh! Why couldn't they make it without the expression input and blend control! Fifteen years later, here we are.
Holy shit this guy can rip it.
Hello! Congrats on the video! I have a Whammy V, is it worth changing for Ricochet? In addition to reducing the size on the board, what other benefits?
You can tell Andy is having fun
Great demo!
I bought one. Crazy to experiment and record all this beauty!
Nice playing!
That invisible whammy bar in 3:34 tho
Good demo. Thanks.
To the guys requesting an expression pedal input. Um BUY A WHAMMY.
Lol
@DamageIncM The Whammy serves a different purpose that the richochet. Get a pitchfork if you want optional expression control.
That was going to be my question: How does the unit compare to the Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork, sound, and tracking-wise. Are they both equally responsive? I've been wanting the Pitch Fork, for a while, but, so far, prefer that, over this unit, because of the flexibility of use with an expression pedal (which I already own).
@@fuzzshifter I have a Whammy and it quite do the pitch bends like that.
warren willard Well, yes and no. Different gigs, different bands = different set ups. Plus, a compact xpress pedal plus this is still a lot smaller And lighter than a full blown whammy.
I was like I'll listen to this for a sec. 7:30 later I'm like man I really need this.
Songs on the Digitech whammy Ricochet:
Even better than real thing by U2
Seven nation army by the White stripes
AND Like a Stone by Audioslave
I wish this pedal has expression pedal capability.....oh wait.
Good one! haha
at home or in the studio-- just get a whammy.
Thumbs up to the U2 Intro!
purty cool INTRO
If you want a Ricochet or PitchFork with expression pedal, but smaller than a Whammy, try an EHX Slammi Plus. And I like to use the PitchFork to transpose. But I think there's some uniqueness to this pedal that's overlooked by some. I'm curious to try this out the next time I'm at a music store. Especially on bass. It seems like a pedal you have to experience, rather than listen to.
I love my Whammy pedal, but only use one sound and that's the first octave up and down harmony setting. I've been hoping to get a compact version of it. Does it do that first setting?
Dude I wonder just how many of these pedals you've sold for Digitech just in the last 8 years. By far the best demo of this thing I've seen. I've been using the BOSS PS6 Harmonizer but I'm excited to see how I can get creative with the Ricochet. You had me on Reverb buying one halfway through your video hah! :) Great stuff, love your playing too!
Thanks so much for the kind words, I'm really proud of this old demo and the medley that came out of it! Glad that Digitech is back at it again!
come on, you should have done some faux pedal steel stuff with the 4th setting
Just ordered it
Does it work also as a drop? Like a half step drop, with no dry signal?
I wouldn't give up my Whammy for this but it's a great idea for people who just want that one or two sounds that the Whammy offers.
Awesome player!!!
Probably the only guy who actually tries to play the song correctly in his demos and actually plays songs that use the effect and doesn’t play some random riff that gives us no reference point
Always great
Need this asap
Didn't the boss super shifter or harmonist do this already? Not to mention there are so many other things you can do with those.
Dude, awesome video... So, If like a stone lead can use this pedal. How about Tetrach - Negative Noise lead too? The melody I think have same pattern. Please give ur opinions dude. Thanka.
Great! But, why not a Exp pedal input too or CV. EHX PitchFork does it, but doesn´t sound like this.
I want one, looks like so much fun to play with
Paul Rudd chould stand in for Andy for just one quick demo and it would be perfect.
So original
So true. So true.
can it, say, pitch down to 2 or 5 semitones constantly and yet capable to make higher-pitched sounds from time to time?
FINALLY!!!
Are the intervals (2nd, 4th, 5th..)set on semitones/half tone or full tone?
Andy do you have an album of all your pedal demos.....hehe.....
It would have been nice if it had the option to oct up or down with every note you pick, sort of give you that XP300 Space Station sound
When is it coming to Europe??? I need it now!!!
Can the pitch shift be used as a Drop pedal? C Tuning for instance
1:13 omg. one of my favs.
Really love it at 5 min
anyone knows the song's name at 3:20... or he is just playing chords?
Veiled version of KC's Red I heard?
Does it play chords as good or same as the drop pedal??
Nice to see that it isn't the size of a small continent like the original.
What’s the tuning for the white stripes songs?
so, this is just a stripped down version of the digitech whammy, right? just a cheaper one right?
the Ballistics control is pretty innovative, so I think it's got it's own thing going.
What model of G&L was that? Can't find it on the website, fine lookin instrument.
G&L Legacy (it’s a Stratocaster style model)
Does it allow pitch shifting by a semi tone?
There was a guy that told me to "wait for the ricochet", guess I get it now!
Like a stone!
Andy can sell a stombox of manure... he's just that good. Love watching you play, man!!
It would be BEST to get a guitar with a REAL "Whammy"/Vibrato on it!!! This is a good alternative for those who are stuck with a "hard tail" guitar, ....etc.! Thanks, Andy!!! Your guitar playing IS ALWAYS AWESOME!!!!!! WOW!!!!
Go Andy!!! :-D
Can anyone confirm if the drop tuning is the same or different than the Drop pedal? I need it for -5 or +5 only always on.
the dt can go to -5 and +5 the drop pedal can only go down to 1 single octave
So, there appears to be several Digitech Whammy type pedals..what are the differences between them all? Can you do a video that shows them all, and shows which one does the most different things? That would be cool. Thanks..dont just talk about it in geek electronic words. I dont understand all this stuff yet.. how about showing us all the different ones, and all that stuff? Thanks?
Can it be possible to shift 1 semi tone??
Nice creation! the first one I mean - but everything you do is mighty fine!
If I have a drop D guitar, I can use this pedal to lower the tuning to C#, C, B and so on?
Digitech makes a separate pedal for that!
They took the fun off the Whammy
+Andrei Martinez Agras Considering that everyone usually just rhythmically pushes whammy pedal to the max this dumbed down version actually seems more practical to me. And it also has momentary mode which behaves like real whammy bar when you release it. Expression pedal input would be nice tho....
+megaman13able expression pedal was my first thought
+Andrei Martinez Agras True but this doesnt cover your board
+GuitarFreak1901 Exactly. Just buy the big classic version if you want an expression pedal. This is great for saving space.
megaman13able I can't agree at all. For example, if you hear the original "like a stone" solo, you can hear that the pitch climb is sometimes slower, what makes the solo more expressive. Using a Whammy is not just pushing up and down like an idiot. Believe me, for the real Whammy addicts, this model is a piece of garbage
is tone suck present in the Ricochet like on the Whammy 4/5/DT?
where in the pedal board would it go???
Awesome pedal, but should have an optional exp pedal input. Kind of defeats the purpose of getting rid of the pedal, but it would be nice to be able to use either a smaller controller or separate the pedal and controller in order to better fit boards and such. The Pitch Fork doesn't track as well, but I would definitely go with the Pitch Fork just because it has the expression and momentary latching switch.
Is this a replacement for the foot-pedal whammy, or a new variant?
+Matthew James McKay it's a variant, think of it as a "Whammy Jr." All our other Whammy pedals are still available (Whammy V/DT/Bass).
Eh... Cool idea, but I'll wait to see how long that it takes before people start saying the footswitch died.
Does this product have the same features as the wahhammy DT
fucking awesome playing and demo
The Whammy DT i'ts fine thank u Digitech.
What's the song after Seven Nation Army?
Great pedal, but an expression pedal input would be nice for people who like the old feel of the whammy
Hey do you know where i can gey that whammy?
