SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – HARMAN’s DigiTech’s “Stomp-tember”
continues with the introduction of its DigiTech Freeze Wah, an e-pedal that
gives guitarists the distinctive tone of a wah wah pedal kept in a fixed
position. The Freeze Wah re-creates this effect without having to keep the
pedal of a standard wah wah pedal in one place.
“The ‘cocked-wah’ sound is great for cutting through a band mix and adding
presence to your lead guitar tone, as anyone who’s heard Slash, Frank Zappa or
Michael Schenker can tell you,” said Rob Urry, vice president, HARMAN
Professional Division and general manager of Signal Processing and Amplifier
Business Units. “However, it can be very tricky to do this consistently as you
have to find the pedal’s sweet spot and keep it there. The Freeze Wah lets
players get the exact fixed-wah sound they want, every time.”
The DigiTech Freeze Wah features knobs for Position, which sets the sweet spot
“pedal position” of the wah, Q, which controls the frequency bandwidth of the
effect, and Boost, which adjusts the boost level of the effect. By manipulating
these three knobs, a wide variety of fixed-wah effects can be obtained.
The DigiTech iStomp is an entirely
new concept in guitar stompboxes that allows musicians to turn the iStomp into
any pedal in the Stomp Shop online pedal store. Offering almost limitless sonic
possibilities, the iStomp connects to an Apple iOS device where musicians can
use the Stomp Shop app to load it with the e-pedal of their choice. The Stomp
Shop is a free app and comes with two of the most popular requested pedals, the
DigiTech Total Recall Delay™ and the DigiTech Redline Overdrive™. It gives
access to more than 30 additional pedals that musicians can browse, try out and
purchase, with more pedals added every month.
The DigiTech Freeze Wah e-pedal
will be available in September 2012 at an introductory price of $0.99. This
introductory price will run through September 31, 2012. After the introductory
period the price will change to $7.99.
The DigiTech iStomp is currently
available at $229.95 MSRP.
