History of whammy pedals
The history of whammy pedals dates back to the late 1980s when the first digital pitch-shifting pedal was introduced. These pedals revolutionised the music industry by allowing musicians to create sounds that were previously impossible with traditional methods. Over the years, whammy pedals have evolved, incorporating advanced digital technology to offer a wider range of effects and greater precision.
How whammy effect pedals work
Whammy effect pedals work by using digital signal processing to shift the pitch of the input signal. They analyse the frequency of the notes being played and modify them according to the settings selected by the guitarist. This allows for real-time pitch bending, creating unique and innovative sounds.
