Thierry255 « Whammy 4 true bypass one bit less but better :) »
Published on 07/23/14 at 05:56Whammy version # 5 of this "unique" pedal.
Digital technology, with expression pedal.
There are so many methods available that I do not dwell on the detail (I encourage you to go to the site for any digitech accurate description), you will find all the modes that have contributed to its success.
The mods compared to the old version:
- There are more output dry / wet, as in the old version (4) personally it does not bother me (for those who would need this option, you must use a blender before whammy .. )
- Adding a "chords" mode, or polyphonic mode, which allows not to have the phenomenon of "shivering" when playing multiple notes at the same time: this phenomenon was present in previous models, and it can like or do not like, that's everyone who sees ^ ^
There seems to be a phenomenon of light compression on the signal in this mode "chords", but I did not find it really annoying in my use.
It will still always the possibility of using the Whammy in a "non-polyphonic" mode, with the sound characteristic. Let me add that shivering in "standard" mode seems a little less pronounced than it was on the 4 (but the difference is not really huge).
- A "useful" power passing 800mA AC (previously requested) to a supply of about 275 mA 9v DC (if I remember correctly), and I can assure you that it changes life!
No more worries transformer old, I fed on 1 of the 2 outputs of my standard power supply and basta!
- Still red but less firecracker: I think the report on the 5 is a little less plastoc '
- Some say the difference in placement of the LED, for me it does not matter.
- Passage of a "crappy" bypass on the 4 to a true bypass on version 5 (finally!).
UTILIZATION
Use in moderation: D Too whammy can give nausea: D
I have not read the manual (there was one?) But it seems relatively simple mode is selected (standard or chords), mode (2, -1 +2 etc etc ...) and the dosage is managed with the expression pedal ...
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are Whammy style (you will not be surprised: D)
I do not use the whammy on electric guitars, almost always in standard mode, and especially I use modes (+1 -1, -1, +1, +2), almost never the other.
OVERALL OPINION
Used for about 2 months.
I bought an earlier version 4 modée in true bypass. The mod did not take at all, so rather than buy a secondhand modée I could, given my sporadic use, I preferred to go on a new (since prices have not hurt declined in recent weeks), which also allows me to have a guarantee in case of trouble (maybe this is silly but these pedals electronic stuffed, I do not have much confidence ... If you put 150 € it rip and that after 18 months ...).
Since the modes I use are always the same, and that I not serve a lot of the expression pedal, I preferred this model directly from there and not another.
In view of the possibilities of the pedal, there is little doubt that one does not put all the sauces, some love it, others do not, again I am not here to judge.
Combined with the power supply which has become the "standard", a color slightly less firecracker and since
I do not have the possibility of dry-wet, so I went and I do not regret it at all!
If it breaks I bought!
