The Whammy Ricochet effects pedal from DigiTech takes the popular Whammy pitch shifting effect and places it in a pedal with a small form factor. Instead of using a treadle to manipulate pitch bending rate, such as those found on traditional Whammy pedals, the Whammy Ricochet bends the pitch of the incoming note at a rate determined by the Shift and Return controls. Thanks to a true bypass design, your tone remains unaffected when the effect is bypassed. The Whammy effect can be turned on or off using the Footswitch, which can operate as a momentary or latching switch. The Trajectory LED ladder lights in sequential order to provide a visual indication of pitch shifting rate and direction.
