Yeah, he does. It is really a weird piece of gear, it is like having one instrument extra to deal with, but it sure can produce som cool effects! smile.gif

Nice one Staffay!! I'll put it on the Gear page over the weekend!!!

For Alternative Weapons you could add some of the Zoom catalogue of gear. Anything Zoom with a Pitch Shifter can be operated with an Expression Pedal and turned into a Whammy type pedal! It's not as versatile as the Digitech but it'll give you up to an octave of 'Whammy'!!

Yep, any Harmoniser + Midi should do it!
Most Zoom Multi FX have a Pitch Shifter built in, which if you use an extra Expression Pedal can make it like a whammy.

For instance with my old 9150 the patch selection is controlled by an 8050 foot controller. In the 8050 are 2 Jack Sockets to add 2 expression pedals. One for an Effect Volume Pedal and the other is assignable within a patch so can be used as a Wah or like a Whammy with the Pitch Shifter!

Great review Staffy. I tried Whammy briefly, and I didn't liked the unnatural sound of it, but what the pedal can do was really interesting.

Yeah, I can see Your point here, it's not really a thingy for everyday use (other than if You play experimental guitar), rather a tool for spicing things up sparse in some situations.

Yeah, it is a great effect nonetheless, expands the expressiveness of the instrument, and few guitarists made it famous, first one for me being Mr. Morello. When I was a kid, listening to his work with RATM, I was trying to do same riffs and solos as him without whammy, with some delay and autowah (didn't even know about whammy existence at the time) - you can imagine how that sounded laugh.gif
