General

The Bass Whammy from Digitech puts the power of the whammy-effect in the hands of bass players. This pedal offers largely the same options as the electric guitar version, plus several extras. First off, there are three effects that come loaded in: Harmony, Whammy and Detune. Whammy enables you to create fluid transitions between one note and another in a higher or lower octave, while the Harmony option lets you sustain one or more notes and add higher or lower notes to harmonious effect, and the Detune effect can be engaged to create atmospheric chorus effects.

The Digitech Bass Whammy: Pitch Bender for Bassists

Optimised for bass frequencies, this Whammy pedal features accurate pitch detection and two different tracking methods: classic and chord. In Chord mode, the pedal makes use of complex polyphonic note tracking algorithms to deliver ultra-precise, super-smooth pitch shift effects. In Classic mode, the Bass Whammy employs a more traditional tracking method. The Digitech Bass Wammy is true bypass and can be optionally controlled via MIDI. 9V power supply included.

Digitech Bass Whammy Pitch-Shifting Bass Guitar Effect Pedal

Voor een éénmalig projectje had ik de sound nodig van Mike Kerr. Ik weet wel dat hij zijn sound niet maakt met een Whammy, maar ik moest zo snel mogelijk iets hebben waarmee ik zijn sound toch een beetje kon nabootsen op een budgetvriendelijke manier. Samen met de Agro pedaal van Aguilar kom ik toch wel in de buurt van die sound, deze Whammy is dus echt wel wat ik nodig had.
Ook de andere mogelijkheden van deze pedaal zijn onwaarschijnlijk cool! Ik heb hem nog maar enkele weken en heb er toch al veel leuke sounds mee kunnen maken...

En zeker niet onbelangrijk, het werd pas last minute beslist dat we een nummer van Royal Blood gingen spelen dus ik moest zeer snel een oplossing vinden om die sound te creëren. Op woensdag avond online besteld en op zaterdag ingebouwd op mijn pedalboard om diezelfde avond Figure it out te spelen op onze gig! Dankjewel Bax voor de snelle service, ik ben terug fan!

Je suis tres content de mon achat Digitech Bass Whammy sur le stock B. Il est arrive en tres bon etat et dans les delais de livraison prevus.
J'etais tres impatient de l'essayer et je ne regrette pas mon achat. J'experimente toutes sortes de sons et j'ai decide d'acheter ma Digitech Bass Whammy apres avoir vu le bassiste MonoNeon. La pedale repond tres bien sur toutes les frequences. Les modes classic et chords sont super et permettent d'aller loin en terme de creativite. Ce n'est pas une pedale qu'on peut utiliser n'importe ou et avec n'importe quel groupe ou musique mais en cherchant bien il y a moyen.

Ik heb de eerste versie ook gehad. Ooit gekocht omdat ik hem hoorde bij Bootsy en Doug Wimbish en na jaren verkocht, met in het achterhoofd om een nieuwere versie terug te kopen. Deze heeft veel betere tracking en betere geluidskwaliteit. Het is niet een pedaal voor iedereen, de avontuurlijkere bassist zal er echter heel veel plezier aan beleven. Klinkt super cool met delay en/of distortion/overdrive pedaal. Er zijn wat kleine verschillen met de gitaar versie, waarvan de blauwe kleur de meest opvallende. Hij schijnt ook een betere 'tracking' te hebben in verhouding tot de vorige versies en er zijn een of twee standen in de harmonics setting die anders zijn, waarvan de 1 oct up - 10th up de meest opvallende. Zeer robuust gebouwd voor dit geld. Klinkt zo strak dat wanneer je een 5th naar beneden gaat je blijft klinken als een klok.

Super pedaal. Doet hetzelfde als het gitaarpedaal alleen is deze versie gericht op de bass. Werkt uitstekend met midi. Wie handig is met bouwen van midi signalen kan de pc de whammy bedienen en dat kan super gave effecten opleveren.

Verder werkt het pedaal natuurlijk ook zonder midi. Pedaal ligt goed onder de voet, is robuust en makkelijk te gebruiken en te bedienen.

Werkt perfect en klinkt perfect. Niks negatiefs te zeggen over het beste bas whammy pedaal die er is.

5/5 sans hésiter: la tenue des notes est juste excellente (tracking - en comparaison avec la Boss OC-2, MXR M88). Le mode chorus est absolument bluffant ! (shallow - pédale engagée). Je ne m'attendais pas à ça, pour moi ça ressemblais à un simple gadget et ce n'étais pas la réelle motivation de mon achat (étant surtout une pédale de pitch) , mais elle bat ma Boss CE-5 japan. Bref, un must, je pense que cette version 5 vaut réellement mieux que les anciennes générations, à cause du switch qui peu changer du tout au tout suivant les catégories. En gros c'est simple, pour les effets de droite on met le switch sur "classic", pour ceux de gauches avec les harmonies il faut basculer en mode "chords". J'insiste car la différence de précision et de qualité sonore varie énormément entre ces 2 modes. ça tient les harmonies et les octaves, pas d'oscillation, c'est magnifique. Si vous suivez bien ce principe, vous aurez un effet de pro pour votre basse. L'alim 9V est très légère et peu encombrante, tant mieux car de toutes façons vous ne pourrez surement pas la brancher sur votre multi-alim standard (elle consomme 1.3A ! - la mienne délivre 500mA max). C'est pas le genre d'effet que l'on utilise beaucoup, je vous l'accorde, mais alors.... quelle qualité !
