The Digitech Whammy, a complete history!

Has anyone tried these ?

I so wanted to nab that white one, but worried about being able to clearly see the writing on the modes. Doesn’t seem to have the best contrast, otherwise looks dope as hell. Probably not a big deal for OG users. I got a classic red on the way.

Can’t wait to annoy the shit out of the family with it!

Spend your first weekend learning Pantera's "Becoming" utilizing a cranked 4x12 and you'll figure out how to get the house to yourself pretty quickly. And you really don't need to see the lettering on it, you just turn the dial until it's either Whammy'ing or the harmony doesn't sound like total dogshit. :rofl

I'd love to know what recorded music features anything but the 4th/5th harmony settings on the harmonizer portion.

I think Drew was meaning songs that don’t use the 4th/5th harmony settings, in which that’s the exact setting of The Blood and Tears.

In which case:



The effects in the verses is created by turning the knob to a droning g string. It sounds like a cool glitchy bagpipe effect.
 
I’d love to have another Whammy but it would be so impractical for me…

I only ever really liked the monophonic ones. I love using the warble as an effect. Like in My Iron Lung

Detune is one of my favorite chorus effects
 
I’m just gonna get a regular. Plain old Whammy, WH-5. I really want the effect, and since pitch effects suck on the Fractal, seems the best way to go. I’ve also had the Whammy 2, and an XP-100. The XP-100 was awesome. I literally have no idea where it went.
 
Or there’s the new BOSS XS-1 pitch shifter:

My only gripe with the Fractal Whammy is that it’s too clean, I’d love to see Cliff really nail the warble of the WH-1/II. I just use the Golden Whammy trick, it’s active in pretty much every preset for my live rig.
