is an effect that uses an Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the

incoming signal, or add a bendable harmony with the original signal. As the
Pedal is moved, the note will bend either up or down. When Whammy™ is
selected, it is automatically placed before the Amp Modeling as shown in the
block diagram (at the beginning of the Effects section). The Whammy™ effect
must be linked to the Expression Pedal in order to function. See page 18 for
more information on linking the Expression Pedal.
