    Default Digitech Whammy Wanker

    That would be me! ude:

    I think I got some nice single coil Tele tones in between the freak sounds... I was using the Boss Blues Driver BD-2 for overdrive on this clip. Amp was the usual suspect, the Reverend Hellhound.

    I am using the Octave 2 up.

    Hey that sounds awesome! I want one too!
    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

    Is that a bona fide red Whammy pedal? If it is, then I guess my EX-7 has the same tracking problems as the original (as noted on the chords more so than the single notes).

    Yes it is the red one. These type of pedals never work on chords, they are for single note stuff. Still lotsa fun to play with!

    Does the EX-7 do 2 octave up and 1 octave up?

    Yep, it does (from left to right on the dial): detune, 2nd Up > M3rd Up, 5th Up, Octave Up, 2 Octaves Up, Octave Down > Octave Up, Reverse 2nd Down.

    Obviously it is not as flexible as the red whammy, but it has the settings that are probably used most often. I was disappointed that it didn't include the "Dive Bomb" setting on newer whammys even though the manual and ads mention "accurate dive bombs."

    Maybe I'll get that EX-7 pedal. Sounds like I could have a lot fun with it.

    I should get Icky Thumb. Does Jack use the Whammy on that album?

    I had the Digitech Whammy, too in 2001, when I recorded an album wiht a Nu Metal band.

    My bandmates at that time called it "the box of mices".

    After the recordings I have sold it as I had no use for it. Couldn't find a place for it in my rock nor in my blues band.

    That'd be it. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave uses one a ton too as do the guys in Dragonforce.

    Check out the solo starting at 3:58:


    You first hear it at :20 here and the solo around 1:40 but they use it throughout for video game-like effects:
