The folks at ProGuitarShop.com, famous for their YouTube videos, are starting a new endeavor to create microsites for popular guitar products.  Their first big launch is a site about the DigiTech Whammy pedal on a website called DigitechWhammy.com.

We really like the idea.  Fretbase has also been trying to create resources for guitar players to find out more about the products their passionate about.  We think this is great way to get the inside scoop on these products.

Here’s the scope from the good folks at ProGuitarShop:

Now we’ve all heard of the Digitech Whammy pedal, right? Have you ever tried to find any information on it? All retailers have the same info as the manufacturer on their website. This is great if you need to find out what voltage power supply to use or if the Whammy is true bypass, but what if you need to know if the Digitech Whammy is up to the task of imitating pedal steel licks. Does the pitch shift function shift smoothly or does it sound like the pitch is walking up or down the stairs? Can I get the rich doubled sound like the solo of “Money”? You just cannot find this information on any retailer’s site or even Wikipedia. That’s why we are proud to announce the launch of www.digitechwhammy.com. This informational site is dedicated exclusively to the Digitech Whammy pedal. Features, tones, artists, even videos and nicely shot photographs will tell you more about this legendary pedal than anywhere else. How many salesmen have you grilled before you buy a product? How many of them answered your questions satisfactorily? No matter how knowledgeable they are, there is always opinion and bias in any information you’re given. That’s because they are there to make the sale. Now you can find all the information you need on the Digitech Whammy, including some awesome video demonstrations, without the hassle of calling a retailer or walking into a store and wondering if they really know the gear, or just need the commission. This site is for you, the working guitarist. Check out www.digitechwhammy.com and find out if the Digitech Whammy is the right pedal for you.
