Does anybody know of a mod to get rid of radio signals through the digitech whammy 4 pedal?I seem to pick up radio stations sometimes at gigs.

are you sure it's from that pedal?

check your other pedals
also check your wires and connections in the wires

even a loose wire connection can potentially pick up radio

You may have an open ground. Are you hearing any guitar signal at the whammy output signal when playing?
On the other hand you may have an RFI isssue. Have you recently moved or begun using the whammy in a new location? I live not a km away from an AM transmission tower and at one point was getting more golden oldies through my amp than guitar signal. A LC low pass filter on the input and output works wonders in these circumstances.

Do you have a diagram picture for this filter?

A simple LC low-pass filter will do fine. The RC equivalent may work too.

how and where do I place this ? I'm not familiar with this at all
