MGR/Anonymous « DigiTech XP-100 Whammy Wah »
Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00I 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 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!
