It's like owning a key to another place & time
Although I'm mainly a Blues Guitarist, I'm a very big fan of David Gilmour. When I started learning one of His song " The Blue " the Whammy-1 is a necessity. Being a writer and Music arranger, the Whammy-1 has open all kind of doors for Me. Even if You're not into David Gilmour and Pink Floyd I still would suggest the investment. ~Pepper~

Great pedal!
I was always interested in getting this pedal and in my 18th birthday I got it as a gift so I can't really discuss how much it cost/what it does It's a very unique pedal, used by a ton of professional musicians it's the sound of tom morello and even jack white. But overall I love this pedal, very intuitive and the sound is amazing, grab a good distortion and just have fun playing around with it. I don't play that much with the harmonics but they sound amazing too. A really good piece of equipment.

the best!
If you are serius about pitch shifting, that's what you need, very accurate tracking

Whammy
A great pedal that you can use to great effect on a lot of gear....not just guitar.

A jewel of the effects
This is one of the pedals that pleased me most in all my time as a guitarist, you can reach different effects, octaver is something impressive, I recommend to everyone.

does its thing well...
does its thing well... superb as a mega wide pitch based chorus
Awesome... When it works
This pedal is amazing. It unlocks entirely new tonal possibilities and allows for many innovative sounds. The problem is, it constantly breaks. I have had to buy three separate ones, as well as have them repaired constantly. I may be unlucky, but in my experience it is broken more often than not.

You know this one
Tom Morello, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Steve Stevens... go to the 1 octave up setting and have at it!
