The bass playing along w the distorted rhythms,genius ,I knew when I put this on,andys approach to the pedal would be way better,that technique makes me want to buy it. I can do bass intros and blend in my guitar? Why even have a bassist??? I love it. U rule Andy,thanks for that tip. And for doing your job well. No contest, these demos r the best on YT

expanding on the most useable section of the DT! great job, DigiTech.

Super smooth blend between Seven Nation Army and Like A Stone! Thanks for this!

I just had this same idea recently, they obviously had it first. It makes so much sense, the Whammy is really only useful on the toe up and toe down positions, you don't really use it half cocked like a wah.

Eventide's Pitchfactor is been doing this for years :D

Exactly the pedal i was searching for at a reasonable price, i might buy one

Great review man! Cool sounds too!

Only thing I would change is moving the knobs a bit further away from the bypass switch. They’re a bit close to each other and might cause some of the knobs to get kicked accidentally, especially mid song, when running on adrenaline on stage. Notice how his shoe gets very close, hovering over the the “range” and “pitch” knobs. A minor thing, but would bug me when playing on a dark stage. Something I don’t want to think about when playing live.

I think this was really smart of them...love the idea of the footswitch as the expression pedal.

That was going to be my question: How does the unit compare to the Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork, sound, and tracking-wise. Are they both equally responsive? I've been wanting the Pitch Fork, for a while, but, so far, prefer that, over this unit, because of the flexibility of use with an expression pedal (which I already own).

warren willard Well, yes and no. Different gigs, different bands = different set ups. Plus, a compact xpress pedal plus this is still a lot smaller And lighter than a full blown whammy.

Andy never disappoints with content.

I remember back when the Boss PS-5 came out, I said: Argh! Why couldn't they make it without the expression input and blend control! Fifteen years later, here we are.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Always awesome Andy! Thanks man!!

Excellent demo!!!!!

kinda nice to have this in a more compact pedal.

i've always wanted a whammy for the glitchy octave up shit but it was too big to justify having. i was hoping they'd make something like this and im glad they did

Great demo!

Fantastic demo 👌

Probably the only guy who actually tries to play the song correctly in his demos and actually plays songs that use the effect and doesn’t play some random riff that gives us no reference point

Pretty nice, I love my old Whammy V5 but can't fit it on my board. Problem solved. Love the fact that it's only 300mA so no issues with the power supply, bonus!

Good demo. Thanks.

Dude I wonder just how many of these pedals you've sold for Digitech just in the last 8 years. By far the best demo of this thing I've seen. I've been using the BOSS PS6 Harmonizer but I'm excited to see how I can get creative with the Ricochet. You had me on Reverb buying one halfway through your video hah! :) Great stuff, love your playing too!

has anyone told you look like early Kevin Shields ? Love this pedal . Looks like kevin in an alternate world

Thumbs up to the U2 Intro!

Hello! Congrats on the video! I have a Whammy V, is it worth changing for Ricochet? In addition to reducing the size on the board, what other benefits?

Paul Rudd chould stand in for Andy for just one quick demo and it would be perfect.

come on, you should have done some faux pedal steel stuff with the 4th setting

purty cool INTRO

Does it work also as a drop? Like a half step drop, with no dry signal?

Just ordered it

I love my Whammy pedal, but only use one sound and that's the first octave up and down harmony setting. I've been hoping to get a compact version of it. Does it do that first setting?

If you want a Ricochet or PitchFork with expression pedal, but smaller than a Whammy, try an EHX Slammi Plus. And I like to use the PitchFork to transpose. But I think there's some uniqueness to this pedal that's overlooked by some. I'm curious to try this out the next time I'm at a music store. Especially on bass. It seems like a pedal you have to experience, rather than listen to.

Andy can sell a stombox of manure... he's just that good. Love watching you play, man!!

Didn't the boss super shifter or harmonist do this already? Not to mention there are so many other things you can do with those.

Always great

Need this asap

It would be BEST to get a guitar with a REAL "Whammy"/Vibrato on it!!! This is a good alternative for those who are stuck with a "hard tail" guitar, ....etc.! Thanks, Andy!!! Your guitar playing IS ALWAYS AWESOME!!!!!! WOW!!!!

There was a guy that told me to "wait for the ricochet", guess I get it now!

I want one, looks like so much fun to play with

Can the pitch shift be used as a Drop pedal? C Tuning for instance

Can it be possible to shift 1 semi tone??

anyone knows the song's name at 3:20... or he is just playing chords?

can it, say, pitch down to 2 or 5 semitones constantly and yet capable to make higher-pitched sounds from time to time?

Andy do you have an album of all your pedal demos.....hehe.....

What’s the tuning for the white stripes songs?

Dude, awesome video... So, If like a stone lead can use this pedal. How about Tetrach - Negative Noise lead too? The melody I think have same pattern. Please give ur opinions dude. Thanka.

Eh... Cool idea, but I'll wait to see how long that it takes before people start saying the footswitch died.

Great! But, why not a Exp pedal input too or CV. EHX PitchFork does it, but doesn´t sound like this.

Are the intervals (2nd, 4th, 5th..)set on semitones/half tone or full tone?

great pedal for scaring the mice out of your walls

Nice to see that it isn't the size of a small continent like the original.

I can't find the song at 1:14 i totally forgot who did this one name please ?

Does this product have the same features as the wahhammy DT

Does it play chords as good or same as the drop pedal??

Nice creation! the first one I mean - but everything you do is mighty fine!

Does it allow pitch shifting by a semi tone?

FINALLY!!!

is tone suck present in the Ricochet like on the Whammy 4/5/DT?

When is it coming to Europe??? I need it now!!!

It would have been nice if it had the option to oct up or down with every note you pick, sort of give you that XP300 Space Station sound

Damn! the 1:53 shot killed me

1:13 omg. one of my favs.

where in the pedal board would it go???

so, this is just a stripped down version of the digitech whammy, right? just a cheaper one right?

@dlammey88

the Ballistics control is pretty innovative, so I think it's got it's own thing going.

Really love it at 5 min

Awesome pedal, but should have an optional exp pedal input. Kind of defeats the purpose of getting rid of the pedal, but it would be nice to be able to use either a smaller controller or separate the pedal and controller in order to better fit boards and such. The Pitch Fork doesn't track as well, but I would definitely go with the Pitch Fork just because it has the expression and momentary latching switch.

Why is not on pgs???? when is going to be aviable??

If I have a drop D guitar, I can use this pedal to lower the tuning to C#, C, B and so on?

megaman13able I can't agree at all. For example, if you hear the original "like a stone" solo, you can hear that the pitch climb is sometimes slower, what makes the solo more expressive. Using a Whammy is not just pushing up and down like an idiot. Believe me, for the real Whammy addicts, this model is a piece of garbage

Hey do you know where i can gey that whammy?

So, there appears to be several Digitech Whammy type pedals..what are the differences between them all? Can you do a video that shows them all, and shows which one does the most different things? That would be cool. Thanks..dont just talk about it in geek electronic words. I dont understand all this stuff yet.. how about showing us all the different ones, and all that stuff? Thanks?

Great pedal, but an expression pedal input would be nice for people who like the old feel of the whammy

no exp??

Go Andy!!! :-D
