All user reviews of 4/5 for the DigiTech Whammy 5

This is version 5.0 of this pedal whose concept has more than twenty years.
The positive news are true bypass and supply 9v DC in 275 m / a.
the novelty that is indifferent to me what this mini switch that goes from a "classic" mode to "chords" mode.
negative news is the suppression of the dry output and placement of the led.

UTILIZATION

This is the third generation whammy passing under my feet. And removing the dry output was a blessing in disguise, because the views of my former routing, this output was vital to me and to find the effects of blend, I did purchased a fabulous X-blender. But back to the whammy that true bypass awfully secures the reliability of the signal.
And the passage in DC 9V finally allows not lugging this p "" "" transformer of my c "" "" "".
My 8 pedals on the same Tranfo: a boss PSA 500 m / a, and here is the dream!
Yes the led is actually misplaced! But I survive. And I removed the plastic potentiometer as it rose too high and my clumsy awkward walk will again this year.

SOUND QUALITY

Well it's the whammy then it is null and awesome at once. The sound is full of defects that the true bypass makes a Secure fragile signal. The "chords" mode will erase the worries may be some guitarists, but I much prefer the cheap side of the "classic" mode.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the effect of my life. And I need fresh blood because I kill my whammy one after the other I bought this one just to have a spare, but no longer have to make the true bypass modification and passage 9V DC represents a real plus.
After I must admit that the Canadian manufacturing was a certain charm. But we are in 2014 and I have a new Whammy.

OVERALL OPINION

You already know the WH-4, comparative fast with this new version:

the +
. mode "chords" polyphonic. although less organic than Pog (from what I heard) sounds here!
. greater respect for your sound origne
. true bypass
. new presets
. powered by 9V DC
. self calibration (not a big plus this is new to stress anyway)
. a more discreet red (!)

the -
. still no possibility to switch quickly to the foot and two preset modes. output a "remote" will welcome
. mode "classic" not so classic here, dropping notes is not as pronounced compared to previous versions
. LED indicator was well above, why did you put near the switch? You must remove his foot to see now
