A sound unto itself.

Used one back in the day and wanted to grab one again recently and it was just as good as I remember. The unique glitchy sound of this pedal is way more interesting than the normal digitech whammy and with multiple awesome presets like having the dry and wet mixed together is extremely useful in song creation. So many unique options and in music one thing you always want is: to sound different from everyone else. only thing is be careful about the little volume knob in the back! if that little guy gets pushed in your pedal is dead.

Really good (specially if u mod it)

Decent wah/whammy (if u put a buffer in front of it to compensate the tone sucking) and try to mod it or get the job done for you to unlock the xp-300 weird sound palette without going bankrupt

plattino

Best Whammy Digitech ever made!

Yes it's true! IMO. Best whammy Digitech ever made. I use it for cool filter/wah effects and the whammy is...well....a whammy :-) Love it. It also can act as a real cool booster. I will never sell mine!

jimmarchi1

magically delicius

this is not the whammy to have. It does the job if you want these effects. The DtoA conversion is atrocious and makes a sound all its own. The wah settings are really neat though. They don't sound right at all. And that's the charm... its like how lucky charms aren't REALLY marshmallows, you know?
