INTRODUCTION
Thanks for choosing the DigiTech® Whammy™ Ricochet effect pedal.TheWhammy Ricochet takes the
popularWhammy pitch shifting effect and places it in a pedal with a small form factor. Instead of using a
treadle to manipulate pitch bending rate, such as those found on traditionalWhammy pedals, theWhammy
Ricochet bends the pitch of the incoming note at a rate determined by the SHIFT and RETURN controls.
And thanks to a true bypass design, your tone remains unaffected when the effect is bypassed.
TheWhammy effect can be turned on or off using the Footswitch, which can operate as a momentary
or latching switch.TheTRAJECTORY LED ladder lights in sequential order to provide a visual indication
of pitch shifting rate and direction.The incoming note can be pitch shifted up or down by the following
intervals:
• 2ND
• 4TH
• 5TH
• 7TH
• OCTAVE
• 2 OCTAVES
• OCTAVE + DRY
To use theWhammy Ricochet pedal, select the desired pitch shifting interval with the PITCH control
then select the pitch direction with the RANGE switch. Set the Footswitch for momentary or latched
operation using the MOMENTARY switch.To audition the rise and fall rate of the pitch shifting effect, turn
the effect on/off using the Footswitch; adjust the SHIFT and RETURN controls so that the pitch effect
bends to and from the selected interval at the desired rate.
FEATURES
• Pitch Shifting of up to 2 Octaves Up or Down
• Ballistics Controls withTrajectory LED Meter
• Switchable Classic & Chords Modes
• Selectable Momentary or Latched Footswitch Operation

• Compact Design
• Solid Construction

1. Power Connector
Connect the specified Harman power adapter (sold separately) to this jack. Be sure to use the
proper power adapter for your area’s mains line voltage. See “Specifications” on page 7
for power adapter model information.The Ricochet can only be powered using the external
power adapter.When powering the Ricochet with a multi-pedal power adapter, ensure the power
connection provides a minimum of 300mA of current.
2. Ballistics Knobs
This concentric pot consists of two knobs, SHIFT and RETURN.The SHIFT knob sets the rate at
which the incoming note will be pitch shifted to the selected interval when the effect is enabled.The
RETURN knob sets the rate at which the incoming note will return to its normal pitch when the
effect is bypassed.
3. Pitch Knob
Sets the interval of the pitch shifted note. Pitch will be shifted up or down depending on the position
of the RANGE switch.
4. Input Jack
Connect your instrument to this jack.
5. Effect Footswitch
Turns the effect on or off.This Footswitch can be configured for momentary or latched operation
using the MOMENTARY switch.
6. Output Jack
Connect this jack to the input of an amp or the input of the next pedal on your pedalboard.

7. Range Switch
Selects whether the pitch of the incoming signal will be shifted up or down.
8. Trajectory LED Ladder
These LEDs light in sequential order to provide a visual indication of pitch shifting direction and
rate. For example, the LEDs will light from top to bottom when the incoming note is shifted down.
Conversely, the LEDs will light from bottom to top when the incoming note is shifted up.When the
effect is bypassed, these LEDs will cycle in the direction selected by the RANGE switch at 2 second
intervals.
9. Momentary Switch
Sets the operation of the Footswitch.When set to the “ON” position, theWhammy effect will only
be enabled as long as the Footswitch is held down.When set to the “OFF” position, theWhammy
effect will toggle between enabled and bypassed modes each time the Footswitch is pressed.
NOTE: When the MOMENTARY switch is set to the “ON” position, theWhammy Ricochet will
use a buffered bypass signal path.When the MOMENTARY switch is set to the “OFF” position, the
Whammy Ricochet provides a hard-wired bypass signal path.
When the MOMENTARY switch is set to the “OFF” position and the pitch effect is turned on with
the Footswitch, setting the MOMENTARY switch to the “ON” position will make the effect always
be on and the Footswitch will now momentarily toggle the effect off. To restore having a bypassed
state when the Footswitch is not pressed for momentary operation, set the MOMENTARY switch
in the “OFF” position and use the Footswitch to bypass the effect before you set the MOMENTARY
switch back to the “ON” position.

CLASSIC & CHORDS MODES
TheWhammy Ricochet provides two modes of operation: Classic mode (the classicWhammy algorithm)
and Chords mode (the modern algorithm from theWhammy DT).The Classic mode is ideal for single
note soloing while the Chords mode is best suited for bending of full chords.The default mode out of the
box is Chords.The mode can be changed while the effect is on or off.
To change between Classic and Chords modes, follow these steps:
1. Set the MOMENTARY switch to the OFF position.
2. Press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for at least 3 seconds.The default mode out of the box is
Chords and the top 6TRAJECTORY LEDs will light.
3. While still holding the FOOTSWITCH, move the RANGE switch to either the down position to
change to Classic mode (singleTRAJECTORY LED lit) or move it to the up position to change to
Chords mode (top 6TRAJECTORY LEDs lit). If the FOOTSWITCH is released before changing
modes, the effect will just remain enabled with no change to the mode.
4. Once the mode change is selected, release the FOOTSWITCH.The pedal will return to normal
operation and the effect will be enabled in the selected mode.
NOTE: The selected mode will be retained after disconnecting power from the pedal.

MAKING CONNECTIONS/APPLYING POWER
To connect theWhammy Ricochet pedal to your rig:
1. Turn down the amplifier’s master volume control.
2. Make all audio connections to theWhammy Ricochet as shown below.
3. Connect the recommended Harman PS0913DC power adapter (not included) to the POWER input
connector and connect the other end to an available AC outlet.
4. Strum your guitar and gradually increase your amplifier’s master volume control until the desired
level is achieved.
