Irriplacable peice of shit.
I love the way it sounds. I would feel weird playing without it. But its built very poorly, takes up too much space, and the knob is very annoying to use as opposed to the classic buttons. Too bad it sounds so great.

A big pedal with a big sound
Yes, it does take up rather a lot of real estate on my pedalboard but, I like this one a lot and I'm so glad Digitech decided to update and re-release it. Good, solid build quality and great for octave, fifth, etc. sounds (although I'm not mad keen on the 'divebomb' effect - I reckon my Zoom B2.1u sounds smoother for that sort of thing). The chorus effect is surprisingly lush too...

Details
Description
A modern interpretation of the classic effect designed specifically for our 4- and 5-string friends.
The next generation Bass Whammy uses the most advanced pitch detection and polyphonic note-tracking technology to create the world's best pitch-shifting effect pedal optimized for bass. The Bass Whammy maintains the classic settings from the original with many modern upgrades. With two different tracking modes, Classic and Chord, the Bass Whammy gives players the ability to recreate the shift glitch effects from the original or get the smooth pitch-shift effect. Chord mode uses advanced polyphonic tracking algorithms for a more exact and smooth pitch shift effect while Classic maintains the tracking artifacts of the original Whammy. The Bass Whammy is true bypass, MIDI controllable, and uses a 9V DC power supply to easily integrate into your existing pedal board.
