Grunge

DigiTech, founded in 1984 in Utah, pioneered digital effects processing and became synonymous with pitch-shifting through the Whammy series introduced in 1989.

The Grunge pedal captures the thick, saturated distortion of 90s alternative rock. The circuit delivers everything from gritty rhythm crunch to searing lead tones.

Four controls—Loud, Low, High, and Grunge—provide intuitive tone shaping. Dual outputs with mixer simulation enable direct recording. Runs on 9V battery for 18 hours or optional adapter. A budget-friendly classic.
