Great sound!

So inspiring to use this pedal, great sound and feeling, sturdy and well constructed!

Amazing pedal and very versatile, however the only drawback is probably the way it works in chord mode with octaves. Overall the pedal makes working with guitars easier in many ways.

best pitch bender in the market

I compared with the Pitchfork and the Ricochet. Because I am very interested in pitch bending, this one suits me best. The bending is superior to the others. Altough the predefined bending motion of the Ricochet has its charmes too. The sound is very good. it is true bypass, also when on (vs Ricochet). You have this harmonic bending options too. From 4th to 5th for exemple. It is a beautifull red pedal. It is simple and it invites using it. Things to know : It has a separate Power supply. It is quite heavy. For my home use no problem.

Thats it!

No need for more, get it and rock on! Get a few ones and adjust the pedal to work a like a pedal steel, octaver and a dive bomb. So you can really robot it out!

Solid as a rock - sounds like a beast

I play with the Whammy for almost a year now.Great tone, nice solid design with a great variety of sound choices.

The only con I that I would suggest as an improvement is a foot switch knob in order to change the sounds.
