Initial batch of 50 Whampanions is currently in production and on pace to ship mid/late February!


The Whampanion is a companion device for the Digitech Whammy pedal. It is compatible with all Whammy V series models, including Whammy DT and Bass Whammy. The Whampanion uses MIDI to expand the capabilities of the Whammy, making it capable of sequencer and arpeggiator-like effects, as well as providing the ability to quickly switch between your favorite Whammy settings.
Ships with 1/8th inch to MIDI cable for connection to Whammy. No power supply included.
