Whammy 5 : The best whammy ever!

10 years ago

After having worn out a Whammy II and IV, I can say that this is the best Whammy ever made so far.

-The signal to noise ratio is audibly improved

-It runs on a regular 9V DC adapter so you can use it with a One Spot or Voodoo labs power supply for example

-The tracking is excellent without glitches

-With the previous whammy, it would not work in the fx loop of some amps or was too sensitive to certain guitar pickups. This whammy is not as easily influenced.

There is one disadvantage, in glitch mode it still sounds too smooth. Glitch mode should be more like sonic hell, like the orginal first Whammy but you can't get those Tom Morello sounds out of it.
