Digitech Pitch Shifter Whammy Ricochet

Astonishing, Sturdy build!
Here is how it works:
first decide which direction you want to go, up or down, this can be done by the range switch.

When you decide your direction adjust the pitch knob to get your desired pitch , I play metal, for soloing purposes i found the range of pitches enough for me.

Then as you desire, you can adjust the ballistics, the shift knob to decide the rate of the incoming to be pitch shifted, the return knob to set the rate of incoming note to return to its normal place.

I found the momentary knob helpful, if i want to bypass the pedal I can just turn it off, and trigger the pedal when i press on footswitch.

it took me 10 minutes to figure out this pedal, so no complication.

totally recommended if you want to have whammy effect without having floating bridge.

the only thing i wished for is the range to has footswitch instead of regular switch, if you want to change the direction you have switch it by your hand, hard to do by foot.

Important: this pedal doesn't support battery, so make sure to have your 9V adapter.

I have purchased the Ricochet, as I have found the Whammy V too big, even for my huge Rockboard Cinque 5.4 pedalboard.

Pros:
- This product is very clever, they managed to fit in a lot of useful functions into a much smaller pedal.
- The sound quality is also excellent.
- The build quality is top notch.

No cons for me, it does exactly what I bought it for.

I have dealt with Digitech customer care directly regarding a general enquiry and the company is very responsive, they went the extra mile to assist me.

Buy it until it's cheap and it's in production, as Digitech has the tendency of discontinuing pedals, which then become an immediate classic and can fetch higher than its new price on the used market.

The DigiTech Whammy Ricochet Pitch Shifter has quickly become an indispensable part of my pedal collection. It brings the iconic pitch shifting effects of the legendary DigiTech Whammy into a compact, stompbox size, without compromising on the sound quality or functionality.

The first thing that strikes you about the Ricochet is its simplicity. The layout is intuitive and easy to get a handle on, even for those new to pitch shifting. The Shift and Return knobs allow you to control the rate of pitch bend, while the Pitch knob lets you select the interval, ranging from a subtle detune to a dramatic two-octave shift.
