4.1 Engaging the Effect

Press the footswitch to engage or disengage the Whammy effect. When engaged, the LED indicator will illuminate.

4.2 Selecting Pitch-Shift Modes

The Whammy pedal offers three main categories of pitch-shifting effects: Harmony, Whammy, and Detune. Use the rotary selector knob to choose your desired effect.

• Harmony Modes: These modes add a harmonized note to your original signal. The expression pedal controls the pitch of the harmonized note.
• Whammy Modes: These modes shift your entire signal up or down by a specified interval. The expression pedal sweeps the pitch from the original note to the selected interval.
• Detune Modes: These modes create a subtle chorus-like effect by slightly detuning your signal. The expression pedal controls the depth of the detune.

4.3 Classic vs. Chords Switch

Nke Classic/Chords switch determines the pitch-shifting algorithm used:

• Omuma: Optimized for single-note lines, providing the traditional Whammy sound.
• Ụkọ: Optimized for polyphonic (multiple note) playing, maintaining the integrity of chords during pitch shifts.

4.4 Using the Expression Pedal

The integrated expression pedal controls the pitch sweep or harmony interval depending on the selected mode. Move the pedal from heel-down to toe-down position to sweep through the pitch range.
