DigiTech produced the WHAMMY-U as part of its long-running Whammy series, positioning it as a dedicated pitch-shifting expression pedal for electric guitar. The unit offered both single-note and chordal Whammy pitch-shifting modes alongside true bypass switching, and accepted MIDI control via a 5-pin DIN input.
The WHAMMY-U ran on a 9 VDC external adapter drawing under 265 mA, with a power consumption of 2.4 watts. Signal conversion was handled at 24-bit depth on both the A/D and D/A stages, at a 44.1 kHz sample rate, with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The instrument input is a 1/4" unbalanced TS jack rated to a maximum of +5 dBu at 1 MΩ impedance; the output is a 1/4" unbalanced TS jack rated to +10 dBu at 1 kΩ impedance. The unit measures 2.5" (H) x 6.5" (W) x 7.75" (D).
Owners seeking setup adjustments, expression pedal calibration, or internal servicing should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with effects units.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
