DigiTech Whammy Ricochet

The Whammy Ricochet lets you bounce your playing up or down in pitch in controlled or crazy shifts. A momentary switch and customizable independent rise and fall time ballistics, allow you to get the Whammy action you know and love without the use of a treadle. Just hold your foot on the footswitch and let the Ricochet do the rest. Seven pitch selections – 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, Octave, Double Octave, and Octave+Dry, as well as a toggle to select up or down for the selected pitch.

The Whammy Ricochet also has latching footswitch mode so you can rise or fall to pitch and stay there, and an LED ladder that shows your shift trajectory at all times.

All these controls combine to create classic Whammy pitch-shifting as well as new sounds never heard before.

Key Features

Stompbox Whammy – Whammy effects in a single stompbox pedal.
7 Pitch Selection – 7 pitch intervals shift across a 4 octave range.

Pitch Control

Select from one of seven pitch intervals (2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, Octave, Double Octave, and Octave+Dry). Pitch can be shifted up or down up to 2 octaves depending on Range Switch position.

Shift and Return Control (Ballistics)

Shift Control: Selects the time it takes for the note to arrive at the selected pitch. Higher values increase the time it take to shift. Return Control: Sets the time it takes for the note to return to the unshifted state. Higher values increase the time it takes to return.

Momentary Switch

Sets the operation of the Footswitch. When set to the “ON” position, the Whammy effect will only be enabled as long as the Footswitch is held down. When set to “OFF” position, the Whammy effect will toggle between enabled and bypassed modes each time the Footswitch is pressed.

Range Switch

Selects whether the input note will shift up or down in pitch.

Trajectory LEDs

These LEDs light in sequential order to provide a visual indication of pitch shifting direction and rate. LEDs will light from top to bottom or bottom to top when the incoming note is shifted down or up.

Delivery Exclusions

PLEASE NOTE:

Some products are exceptionally large, heavy or bulky and require specialist freight services. This typically includes items such as large PA speakers, dual 15″ speaker cabinets, dual 18″ subwoofers, flight cases and other oversized or very heavy equipment.

We work hard to keep our prices as competitive as possible and, in most cases, delivery is completely covered by our standard shipping rates. However, for certain oversized items being delivered to regional or outlying areas, the actual courier cost can be significantly higher than standard deliveries. This is also owing to factors completely outside of our control (petrol costs and rising costs of delivery by courier partners)

If this applies to your order, we will always contact you before dispatch to discuss the available options. These may include:

Proceeding with a small additional freight contribution.
Collecting the order from one of our suppliers or a nearby courier depot where available.
Cancelling the order for a full refund if a suitable solution cannot be reached.

Please be assured that we only request an additional freight contribution in exceptional circumstances where the courier cost is substantially higher than normal. Our goal is always to deliver your order at the advertised price whenever possible.

If you’re unsure whether an item may be affected, you’re welcome to contact us before placing your order and we’ll gladly provide a delivery estimate.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support!
