⚡ Match a tone on this gearHow do you dial in a specific tone on a DigiTech Whammy 5?
The DigiTech Whammy 5 works on the note as the guitar plays it, so it usually goes at the front of the chain, before any drive. Fed an already distorted signal, a pitch effect can lose track of the note it is shifting. Settings here come with that position as well as the knob values.
Name the song you are chasing and Tonelify returns the settings for this exact pedal, not the settings the original artist used. Those are two different things: the recording was made on gear most players do not own.
Settings for this unit only ever use controls it actually has, because its front panel is stored in our gear database. You will not be told to set a knob that is not on the unit.

DigiTech Whammy 5 questions
Where does the DigiTech Whammy 5 go in the signal chain?
Usually first, or close to it: straight after the guitar and before any drive pedal. It reads the note as the guitar plays it, and it does that most reliably on the plain guitar signal. The drive then shapes what this pedal has already done, rather than the other way round.
Does Tonelify support the DigiTech Whammy 5?
Yes, and its front panel is stored, so settings only ever reference controls this pedal has: Treadle, Selector knob, Classic/Chords switch. You will not be told to set a knob that is not there.
