Whammy 5 : Amazing pedal, why'd I wait this long?!

11 years ago

I've wanted a Digitech Whammy since I was 16 and finally got one 12 years later. I wish I hadn't waited, this thing is awesome! I also own a POG 2 and find this is a lot more useful. The POG is more of a fun toy that can do some really interesting things but is hard to fit into a track. The Whammy is just great fun to throw in to lead riffs and solos. The harmonizing functions and such are brilliant and highly usable.

I was worried I'd struggle finding uses for it and it would gather dust unless I was mucking around but honestly, it does many things, it's easy to write with.

The tracking on Chords mode is all I use. Classic does have tracking issues and leads to some 'interesting' artifacts but isn't great.

Built like a tank, great sound, highly versatile; an all-round fantastic pedal. Highly recommend it!
