  • Page 9 About the Whammy™ The Whammy™ pedal contains 17 Presets which are selected by rotating the Preset knob. An LED will light to indicate which preset has been selected. Each Preset will fall into one of three groups: Whammy, Harmony, or Detune. Whammy - This group of Presets will bend your incoming signal either up or down depending upon the Preset you have chosen.
  • Page 10 Harmony - This group of Presets adds a harmony to your incoming signal. Both the harmony note and the input signal are mixed together as if two guitars were playing simultaneously. As you rock the pedal back and forth, the harmony note bends between two intervals specified by the selected Preset but the input signal remains unchanged.
  • Page 11 Detune - This group of Presets creates a copy of your input signal, slightly shifts the pitch of the copied signal and mixes it back with the original signal. As the treadle is rocked back and forth, the level of this detuned signal is changed. With the pedal in the toe up position, only the original dry signal is heard.
