NAMM 2025: DigiTech, fresh off its acquisition by Cor-tek, has unveiled a groundbreaking collaboration with innovative bassist MonoNeon. The result? The “boldest, most expressive Whammy ever,” designed to push the boundaries of pitch shifting for both guitar and bass.
MonoNeon Whammy
The MonoNeon Whammy boasts a striking neon yellow and orange aesthetic, reflecting its experimental nature. This pedal is a must-have for experimental musicians, featuring Hypersonic Mode, 3-octave bends, enhanced Detune, and MIDI control.
Hypersonic Mode & Beyond
- Hypersonic Mode: This revolutionary mode allows for extreme three-octave pitch bends, previously unattainable with traditional Whammy pedals. This opens up a world of sonic possibilities, enabling players to explore uncharted territories of pitch shifting and create truly otherworldly soundscapes.
- Enhanced Detune: Moving beyond the standard Shallow and Deep modes, the MonoNeon Whammy offers refined detuning options. This provides greater control over subtle pitch variations, adding depth and character to any instrument’s tone.
- New Octave Blend Mode: This innovative feature allows for seamless blending of dry signal with octave-shifted signals, offering unparalleled flexibility in shaping the overall sound. Players can experiment with a wide range of sonic textures, from subtle harmonies to aggressive, octave-driven effects.
- MIDI Input: For musicians who utilize advanced setups, the MonoNeon Whammy is equipped with a MIDI input. This allows for seamless integration with MIDI controllers and other gear, expanding the pedal’s capabilities and offering a higher level of control over its parameters.
- Dual Instrument Compatibility: Designed with both guitarists and bassists in mind, the MonoNeon Whammy seamlessly transitions between instruments. This eliminates the need for separate Whammy pedals, making it an ideal choice for multi-instrumentalists.
Customization Kit
True to MonoNeon’s artistic vision, the pedal includes a customization kit. This kit features orange and yellow gaffer tape, stickers, and a marker, encouraging players to personalize their pedals and express their unique style.
Beyond its innovative features, the MonoNeon Whammy retains the classic Whammy user-friendliness. It boasts a straightforward interface, a built-in expression pedal for intuitive pitch control, a Classic/Chords switch for optimal performance in various playing styles and reliable green LEDs that illuminate whenever the pedal is activated, or modes are changed.
Priced at $349.99, the MonoNeon Whammy is available now from all DigiTech suppliers.
