DigiTech Whammy Ricochet
When DigiTech unveiled the Whammy pedal 28 years ago, it was an instant hit. With its built-in controller pedal, the Whammy was fresh-sounding and expressive. DigiTech marked the Whammy’s latest anniversary by nixing the expression pedal—at least on the Ricochet, which is designed to fit on a crowded pedalboard. With a handful of knobs and switches controlling transposition, the streamlined Ricochet provides a superb introduction to pitch-shift effects.
