Whammy Ricochet

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

The Whammy Ricochet delivers pitch-shifting in a compact stompbox without the expression pedal. Momentary or latching operation lets you trigger pitch rises, falls, or both in sequence.

Seven intervals from 2nd to octave cover most musical applications. The Ballistics knob controls how quickly pitch bends occur—from instant to gradual. True bypass preserves tone when off. Perfect for players wanting Whammy sounds in a smaller footprint.
