Description
The DigiTech Whammy WH-1 is a pioneering pitch shifter pedal introduced in 1989, offering a unique way to manipulate sound with its two-octave up/down pitch shifting, detune section, and harmony octave capabilities. It is renowned for its distinctive, somewhat analog sound and has been used by iconic musicians such as Tom Morello, Jack White, and Joe Satriani. The WH-1 is considered a '90s holy grail pedal, prized for its versatility and ability to create distinctive effects, though it may not track as well as newer models, particularly on complex chords.
