New DigiTech Whammy Teaser
The guitar world is buzzing with speculation, and for good reason: DigiTech might be staging a massive comeback. A teaser clip posted on their social media has fans on edge, asking one exciting question—are we about to get a brand-new Whammy pedal?
The clip itself is simple but electrifying. It features a scene from The Blues Brothers, where the iconic line “We’re getting the band back together” plays, with the DigiTech logo prominently appearing. Paired with a cheeky #whammy hashtag, it’s hard not to wonder if the legendary pitch-shifting pedal is about to get an update.
DigiTech Whammy Comeback?
DigiTech’s story has been a rollercoaster. Purchased by Samsung in 2017 and seemingly left to fade into obscurity, the brand was acquired earlier this year by Cor-Tek, the company behind Cort Guitars. Cor-Tek promised to honor DigiTech’s legacy while investing in fresh innovations—and it looks like they’re ready to deliver on that promise.
The Whammy pedal has been a game-changer since its debut in the early 1990s. Known for its jaw-dropping pitch-shifting capabilities, it has inspired countless guitarists to push their sound to new heights. Over the years, we’ve seen updates like the Whammy DT and the Whammy V, but the pedal hasn’t seen a new iteration since 2012. Coincidentally, that makes this year the perfect time for a 10-year anniversary reboot.
What’s Next for DigiTech?
If the rumors are true, the Whammy could be just the beginning. Fans are already dreaming of a revival for beloved DigiTech pedals like the Gunslinger distortion and the Obscura delay. And who knows? The brand might even surprise us with entirely new creations in this exciting new era.
Of course, there’s still some mystery surrounding DigiTech’s plans. Former product developer Tom Cram, who worked on iconic models like the Whammy V, has stated he’s not involved with the company’s current projects. But even without insider details, the teaser has sparked a wave of excitement.
The Whammy's Triumphant Return
Whether it’s a new Whammy pedal or an entirely fresh lineup, DigiTech seems ready to reclaim its spot in the pedal world. The Whammy has always been a symbol of bold creativity, and a new iteration would be the perfect way to signal the brand’s rebirth.
