Page4 Making Connections The Whammy™ pedal is extremely easy to set up and use. Simply follow these steps and you be Whammin. 1. Connect your instrument to the Whammy™ input. 2. Connect from the “Wet Added” output to your favorite distortion pedal or to your amplifier. 3. Connect from the Whammy™ Dry Out to a guitar tuner if desired. 4.

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. As the treadle is rocked back and forth, the signal will bend from the original input pitch, to the pitch specified by the selected Preset.
Page6 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. Harmony Presets include: Harmony Presets Oct Up/Oct Dn - Bends the harmony between one octave below (toe up) and one octave above (toe down) the input note.
Detune Presets Shallow - The copied signal is shifted slightly out of tune from the original pitch. Deep - The copied signal is shifted substantially out of tune from the input signal. User’s Guide Page7 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.
Page8 MIDI Functions A new feature found in this incarnation of the Whammy™ is a MIDI input. MIDI messages can select a Whammy™ Preset with the effect engaged or disengaged, and control the pedal position. MIDI Channel The Whammy™ MIDI channel is used for receiving incoming MIDI data only. The Whammy™ can receive MIDI messages on any, or all MIDI channels. The following steps outline the procedure for accessing or changing the MIDI channel: 1. Disconnect the the power from the Whammy™ pedal. 2.
User’s Guide Page9 MIDI Program Changes The Whammy™ uses MIDI Program Change commands for preset selection. Presets can be selected in either an active or bypassed state. The following list outlines the program change commands recognized by the Whammy™, and the corresponding Whammy™ preset.
Page10 MIDI Continuous Control The Whammy™ is capable of remotely adjusting the treadle position, as well as turning the Whammy™ effect on and off through the use of MIDI continuous control commands. MIDI CC11 adjusts the treadle position. A value of 0 on MIDI CC11 corresponds to a toe up position and 127 corresponds to a toe down position. MIDI CC0 is used to turn on and off the Whammy effect.
