Whammy 5 : Fantastic pedal. Best version yet?

10 years ago

I'm sure if you're reading this you already know what a Whammy is and what a Whammy does, so I'll spare the details.

This one is built like a tank, just like the Whammy IV, it sounds pretty much exactly like a IV does in classic mode, and sounds a bit cleaner in poly mode, with much less of the Morello/Greenwood glitchy noises that you'd expect from a IV or earlier version.

The Whammy V also now works on a regular Boss-style 9V DC input (albeit needing a fairly high current), which makes it a far better fit for the average pedalboard. I use mine with a Voodoolabs PP2+ and it works perfectly.

Highly recommended.
