Whammy DT : A Classic Pedal

11 years ago

This is a must to have pedal!

I think this pedal is basically different from the regular guitar pedals.

The idea behind the traditional pedals is to customize your guitar tone.

This pedal works more like an extra instrument. You can play technically new things on your guitar.

There are many things what you can not recreate without this pedal. Like: play the whole Seven Nation Army with one guitar, or do the solo part of the Killing in the Name Of.

So it is really a "Must To Have" pedal, other wise -> no Jack White solos.

Of course, not just for covers... It opens up new doors of creativity. You can create whole new riffs and blast some extraordinary solos.

I think the Drop Tune function is fun, but to be honest... it's not 100%. You have to drop the guitar's tuning to get the real dropped sound. I would more consider it as an extra effect option.

The momentary switch makes it more usable. Good for quick little surprise notes.

I think it worth the extra money to go for the DT -> more experimental stuff.

But, the basic Whammy could do the job too.

(Only negative: sounds a bit digital. No surprise. But still rocks.)

100% fun!
