Ooooo, I like that! Nice groove, Lev. Keep 'em coming....
Haven't been able to find time to record recently but I took a look back over a few rough cuts that I had recorded a couple of years ago and found this one. I used a Digitech Whammy/Wah XP100 into a PODxt and a BOSS BR532 to record. The bass is actually my guitar into the Whammy detuned which I think tracks pretty well. I used my Santana SE and again the XP100 Wah setting for the lead. It's bit rough but it's got a funky vibe I think.

nice track... a bit like the music from the old 70´s cop series on TV!
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
Hey Justa, the XP100 was possibly one of the worst made pedals I've ever used but great at the same time (if that makes sense). When it worked it worked well but the pedal mechanism was really flimsey and it killed your tone in bypass. I've upgraded now to the Expression Factory which is a much better built pedal but doesn't have as nice a sweep on the wah as the XP100 had. There's always a compromise when you buy mutifuntional pedals I guess. Digitech discontinued the XP100 whammy/wah a few year ago. Whammys are fun to play with though!Originally Posted by Justaguyin_nc

Thanks for sending me the track via email Lev.
Here's an interesting story about this....Lev emailed me and saw that my address was in Albuquerque, NM. He wrote back and said that he spent some time here working at a local chip plant and bought a guitar here in town that he happened to use on this backing track. Pretty cool.

Lev... SWEET MAN! You can never go wrong with the WAH. Jimi would be proud of you! I can picture Band of Gypsys performing that with you!

That's a micro chip plant rather than a potato chip plant!! Yep, bought the Santana SE in Albuquerque, brought it back to Ireland, recorded this song and now I'm emailing it back to Tone in Albuqueque!Originally Posted by tone2thebone
Justa, the pedal you posted is the Whammy which is a great pedal - the one I had was a combination of Whammy and Wah which has been discontinued. The Expression Factory doesn't have as many Whammy options (extra harmonies, octaves, sub octaves) but it has the main whammy features along with wah, space station, univibe etc. They are expensive pedals when you consider that you will probably only have a limitted use for them.
Thanks to all for the encouragement on the track, I'm thinking of rerecording it and getting the mix a bit better. I'll might add some lead too.
