Whammy Pedal

Neo#

Im thinking of getting one I must admit. I want to know what people's opinions on them are. After watching Tom Morello at a festival recently im tempted to try one out. Are they unnecessary or awesome?

Haha howya Stew, do ya reckon they would fit into a band!:D Have you had one before? Ah feck it im getting one.

How Much are they? read the reviews on this website before you make a decision http://www.harmony-central.com/ I hear they have their pros and cons and ive been wonderin wether or not to get one!

I'd also love to give one a go, don't think I could justify the cost....but that's never stopped me before. I feel like I need more pedals......

I have one on my GT-8 and I love messing with it. Gonna have a go recording a lot of Tom Morello's stuff to see what it sounds like. I use the whammy live just to detune and it's handy to use.

It costs aroung 180 on thomann. Those reviews seem to be mixed. The original whammys seem to be better but they go for a fortune on ebay.

i have one on my PodXTL and its configurable too, its great crack messin around with it, i might record a tom morello song and stick it on youtube for the crack!

Could be worth a look! Is there anything that pod doesnt do:D

Well it doesnt make the tea but their working on it from what i hear! :pac:

uploading the vid to youtube now but i dont think its watchable straight away, i think they have to approve it first or something!

ps. i forgot the chords to the acoustic bit at the end so i abandoned it haha!

Just make sure you get one that works ok. I have to ring Soundtech in the UK tomorrow to organise a repair for mine.

Love assing around with the one in my GT-6. Lots of Tom Morello tomfoolery plus handy for divebombing hardtails!

Make sure you put it first in the effects chain GT-8 is awesome, I wanna have a go of the GT-10 though, looks more refined.

Had a whammy, although i thought it was fun to use an all its usage didnt justify keeping it around. Esp. for the price!!!

I bought one for my son 4 months ago it's a reissue no space for a 9 v battery? great fun a bit obsolete in a gigging situation as interferes with your tone to much for my liking.
