Introduction
The history of the Whammy goes back to 1991 when Digitech first made this product. It's fairly easy to understand that it is supposed to be a hardware-whammy to produce sounds similar to those made by a tremolo-arm. Originally the developers must had an idea to make this device directed to players with guitars without a trem. But the outcome is far beyond this, and they must really had a blast when they were constructing this piece of gear. It's really a one-of-a kind effect and can produce some really weird sounds as well as been used in a more traditional way. Amongst known players who uses this device are Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Joe Perry, John Scofield, Dimebag, Tom Morello and of course Muris Varajic.
Product description
This unit comes with a color like a Ferrari - candy-red. It has a steel-cabinet with a 9v AC-adapter and has two utputs, one dry and one "combined". It also can be controlled via MIDI and has just three controls to deal with. On/Off, preset setting and the rocker itself.
Sound
This unit basically has three modes. Whammy, Harmony and Detune. What differs this edition from the original is really that some presets like Divebomb, Drop-tune has been added as well as MIDI-control.
