Virtual Jeff WHAMMY BAR side note

Rewatch the NAMM videos, and see the Digitech Whammy pedal on the ground on the pedal board at the Virtual Jeff NAMM Booth.


The latest Digitech Whammy supports external MIDI Control, and the Virtual Jeff simply feeds MIDI CC# data (via 5pin DIN MIDI connection) to the Whammy pedal that does the actual audio processing.

QuoteUsing MIDI continuous control commands, the Whammy's expression pedal position can be remotely controlled. MIDI CC11 adjusts the expression pedal position. A value of 0 on MIDI CC11 corresponds to a toe up position and a value of 127 corresponds to a toe down position.


So add purchase of a new Digitech Whammy pedal when considering the Virtual Jeff

Correct, (same with GR-55,  GP-10)  - but Digitech Whammy DT comes in handy when you are not using any of those 13pin systems in your rig.
