I’m having this love affair with the Boss PS-3 Super Shifter. One thing about playing with a whammy bar is that I really can’t stand constantly going out of tune. For a singer, it’s just about the absolute worst thing you could have to deal with. Those pedals are great because I can avoid using a whammy-equipped guitar. But they are also a rad creative tool.

That’s actually a DigiTech Space Station. There’s a setting on it that sounds like when you hit the stop button on a turntable, and I randomized the pedal movement back-and-forth in a somewhat rhythmic way. I feel like the randomness of the pedal’s shifting is really what makes that solo sound entertaining.
