Digitech XP-100 Whammy Wah

DigiTech XP100 Whammy WahPublished on 11/13/02 at 15:00
I bought it from a guy in Essen a place here in Germania´s beautiful west, for about 160 Euros.

Great variety of sounds different wah-types, choruses, whammy, volume... a lot weird stuff, too what makes it even better it makes you play stuff that you normally wouldnt play really pushing your creativty!

actually nothin

Absolutely recommended for stage usage it´s made out of metal and the pedal is too. its easy to control and has great sound

Easy to handle, heavily build, great wack´d sounds. Fuckin good!!! buy it!

DigiTech XP-100 Whammy Wah

DigiTech XP100 Whammy WahPublished on 06/25/01 at 15:00
I was ready to go to Europe for a 5 week tour and I didn't want to lug along a wah pedal, whammy pedal, and a chorus pedal. I called my friend Paul Muniz who is a rep for Digitech and he said he had something I might be interested in, and sent me the XP-100. I think my price was around $130.00.



This incredible unit contains 12 different wah programs that have since allowed me to get rid of my old tempermental vox and dunlop wah pedals. The tones of the wah programs are better than any I've ever heard! From sweet and honky to super wide screaming tone. If you can't find a wah sound that you like, you're crazy! The auto wah programs sound quite well and all the best programs from the ...…

The auto wah programs sound quite well and all the best programs from the whammy 2 pedal are packed in here like octave up and down and harmonies for every use you can think of...



The only thing I don't like about the pedal is that it says there's a built in gate, but I haven't found how to use it yet. It would also be cool if was AC/DC, but that's asking too much on my part.



The unit is built in a sturdy steel chassis and can take the abuse of the road no problem. It's also sealed quite well for those beer soaked stages! The power pack and cable are also sturdy, and there's a clip for tucking away the excess cable which is extremely useful.



This pedal has become a staple of my gear setup, holding my tone together and making my leads sound much better when my amp wasn't...not to mention boosting my confidence when I step forward for a lead break. The harmony programs are a great writing and live tool, and I'm about to pick up my second one because I think I wore my first one out!

DigiTech XP100 Whammy WahPublished on 09/02/11 at 09:31
The DigiTech XP100 Whammy Wah is a unique guitar effects pedal, combining two effects that require an expression foot pedal. I don't believe that there are any other combination whammy/wah pedals out there, or at least none that I have seen. The XP100 isn't a new pedal as it's been out for some years now - at least since the late 90's. The pedal has 1/4" connections for input, and both effect and dry output. You can power the pedal with a 9 volt power supply. It's not a rackable effect.

You can power the pedal with a 9 volt power supply. It's not a rackable effect.

UTILIZATION

Using the DigiTech XP100 Whammy Wah shouldn't be hard for most users. It's got three basic foot controls - one to cycle up and down between the different effects, one to bypass the effects, which will also give you the built in tuner if you hold it down, and the foot expression pedal. You can set your own presets in addition to the different preset effects for using the pedal as a volume pedal, wah, auto wah, whammy, and for harmony effects. The manual is very complete and should be able to answer any and all questions you might have about the pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the effects on the DigiTech XP100 Whammy Wah is pretty good, but each individual effect isn't as good sounding as they would be in their own effect. Still, it's really awesome to have all of these effects in one place as you can use the pedal as volume, wah, auto wah, whammy, or harmony pedal, which obviously makes it very versatile. It's also cool that you can save your own sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

The DigiTech XP100 Whammy Wah is definitely worth looking into if you're after a whammy pedal. While it's not as in depth as the regular DigiTech Whammy pedals will be, it still can do a lot and if you're just looking for the basic effect you'll get that plus some. The XP100 has a cheap price when found used since the pedal is about 15 years old and modern digital technology has surpassed the sound of this in the newer models. If you're going to use whammy sounds all the time, I'd probably recommend going with the DigiTech W-4, but if you want a smorgasbord of effects with a foot controller, the XP100 is a fine choice.

DigiTech XP100 Whammy WahPublished on 02/08/10 at 21:00
This is an updated version of the classic Digitech Whammy Pedal, but with the addition of Wah-Wah features and a Volume pedal effect. It doesn't have the MIDI in/out that would come with a later version of the Whammy. It is mainly digital technology, and it is not rackable.

UTILIZATION

The actual editing of these effects isn't too difficult. You basically set the effect to the setting you want, and then use the rocker to change it accordingly. There are 29 different effects, and they vary. There is one "Volume" setting that makes the pedal function as a volume pedal. There are five regular Wah-Wah settings, six auto-wah settings, Eight "Whammy Effects", and 9 Harmonizing effects. The...…

The actual editing of these effects isn't too difficult. You basically set the effect to the setting you want, and then use the rocker to change it accordingly. There are 29 different effects, and they vary. There is one "Volume" setting that makes the pedal function as a volume pedal. There are five regular Wah-Wah settings, six auto-wah settings, Eight "Whammy Effects", and 9 Harmonizing effects. The whammy effects are octave effects; there is the option of going one or two octaves lower, or higher. There is also the option of pitch shifting down a whole step or two, as well the effect of going down SIX octaves (Which is really wild!). There are harmonizers that alternate a half-step up by pressing the pedal up or down. The manual explains all of this clearly.

SOUND QUALITY

I guess I have sort of a biased opinion of this pedal. I tried it after already being pretty familiar with the original Whammy. That pedal is a classic, and this version recreates almost all of the same features. In this respect, it is almost as good. However, the wah settings on this pedal are pretty terrible. I can't get behind any of them, and would never recommend this pedal over a classic wah like a Vox or a Crybaby. The volume pedal is also a lot worse than the ones I generally use. I just feel as though it might be easier to get a regular Whammy, and use a different wah and volume pedal. If you are not able to do this, you might want to think about buying this, but be warned that you will soon tire of the generic and unappealing Wah sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I think that for the price, you are better off buying the regular Whammy. The wah features are almost useless, and they will just get in the way. I actually think the original Whammy sounds better than this one as well. I can't stress it enough, this pedal is unnecessary.
