Digitized Guitar Whammy Bars

This Gadget Can Be Slid Onto Any Guitar to Provide Vibrato Assistance

— November 9, 2021 — Tech
An Australian startup by the name of Fomofx has launched a high-tech digital guitar whammy bar that can quickly and easily be attached to any guitar without having to tweak or modify the existing instrument or alter its existing sound.

The Virtual Jeff Pro guitar whammy bar comes with a convenient mounting mechanism that can be used in conjunction with adhesive tape to easily install the gadget to the guitar in less than a minute. The package includes a vibrato arm that can be cabled up to the guitarist's pedal setup.

What's great about this guitar whammy bar is that it makes it easy for musicians to customize the pitch range of their whammy movements whilst also giving them the ability to tap into preset whammy sounds.

Available for a price of $499, the Virtual Jeff Pro guitar whammy bar will appeal to guitarists who want to add a vibrato punch to their playing but don't want to have to risk damaging their guitar in the process of attaching new gadgetry.
