All user reviews for the DigiTech Whammy WH-4

Effect: how to say ... a doubling of its detachable? valdingueur a note? the sound is unique, listen to Tom Morello and Stevie Vai, are the great ambassadors of this pedal. Jack on mono 6.35, making PSU and possibility to connect it to midi?

UTILIZATION

Configuration easy enough but twenty presets, it's hard to navigate. then make jou-jou with the pedal (like a wha-wha) it's not that simple, must practice ... not easy to use nonetheless.

SOUND QUALITY

Well then, I put zero points. I never got to use it. The sound is awful (I affectionately call the pedal that causes vomiting) whenever I 'm trying all other zicos make me frown, add to that she eats the sound, that it captures the radio to judgment and that it takes a place not possible on the pedalboard. Conclusion: effect pedal that shit and fucks the souk in my chain effect .... lousy quality level. Meanwhile DIGITECH is not known for making quality ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this pedal in a crisis of GAS, I wanted the sound of Rage Again The Machine or Stevie Vai .... ca me was a lesson, I do not buy more gear before trying . The price / quality ratio tends to "minus infinity" as say Mr Barale, my math teacher in Terminal C. For literary, no quality and completely unreasonable price (250 €)

OVERALL OPINION

The effect is genial and the many opportunities on this point nothing to say, have fun.
Yes voila, big disappointment pedal eats the signal to death, sometimes blows, add to it a disgusting angular design and colors vinasse bum vomit and you have the most overrated pedals. Unusable in studio, live to be brave. Odd for a supposedly legend is very average as material, see enough considering the price. For me it is out of the question that I put a weak link like it in my pedalboard. Disappointed. Trash.

I bought this from a friend for a quality $100. I wanted it so I could have a little more fun with my guitar, and Tom Morello is my hero.

This sexy red mean machine digitally bends your guitar to the end of the horizon. You can dive bomb 3 octaves down, or shoot 2 up, it has two sweet choruses (shallow/deep) and harmonies. Its solid as rock. I don't know how many times I've tripped and landed with all my weight on it in my room, but it never has screwed up once (except one time it actually went up 4 octaves, I was totally confused). It's perfect for beefing up intense solos. It also has barely any delay between input and output, which is sweet. You can hook your stereo up to it too, which is good times.

What I didn't like about this unit was its function. Anything you did with it was so strange that it had to be saved for a separate bridge in the song. And whenever in harmonies, or bent mode, and you play two notes, it gets really nasty sounding. Its good for rock, a few things jazz, or definetly any kind of out-there music. But after that, it doesn't fit in. And, power adapter is a must.

It'a about the size of a cigar box, with a beautiful red coat. It has an expression pedal at the left used for your whamming. and a knob, and all the functions with LED lights on either side of the knob. It lets you know what your doing, in case you were wondering... There is no place for batteries, you need an adapter

It's loads of fun, but if you try it out, make sure its right for your band.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Other opinions are very well written Caracteristics on this pedal, mono, digital, in metal case very solid and well built in my opinion.

I've never used the second outlet, in retrospect it's a great addition, to put such a tuner!

I never used any MIDI connectors, so I do not talk about it.

The specific voltage AC adapter is annoying, something more portable. Apparently, only Burkey offers a brick for powering the whammy.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is not super complicated, if only one knows his lines and tones on the part harmonizer. Editing sounds is easy.
Fortunately, the manual is to explain how to "recalibrate" the pedal when it becomes false. It's a shame, and a bit surreal on a mechanical effect if known, and still cost price.

SOUND QUALITY

Then the effect is proposed just awesome. The guy who thought the time was a couple harmonizer with an expression pedal is a genius. I used it with my guitar, all sounds of Morello are directly accessible (or almost, AC is also technical!).
The problem is that with two years of guitar behind me and little experience, I found that the pedal of his puffed and dynamics, so I sold. I can not imagine what I would think today! As syl2412 puts it very well: it is a pedal just fine for a unique effect.

OVERALL OPINION

I used some time before I part with it. I had tried any effect like this before, and for good reason, it does not exist. The Boss ps have similar characteristics, but the expression pedal is separate and not included.
I loved her, but I hated the way she had to eat the sound. Over time, I have come anyway to find a little too "gimmick". Morello, Vai and White used it intelligently. We left? This is the kind of effect that quickly becomes unpalatable if one makes a mess.

The value for money I think is a little unfair. Not the level of benefits, but given the quality of the product.

The new DT whammy air to solve a lot of defects WH4, but its size is an insurmountable handicap for which no one pedalboard brawny and broad.

If my choice was to do again, I orienterais to the Boss PS-6 coupled with an expression pedal, I alimenterais v 9 in me not to take the lead, and that I would take up less space.

The Whammy is a far apart in the small world of special effects. This is actually a simple pitch-shifter, but with its most representative is comparable to that obtained with the pitch bend wheel on a synth.

Clearly, we play a note, and the action of the foot will drag it to another note located higher or lower relative to the note played. Just like ... a whammy bar or a vibrato in French ...

The score obtained in this way depends on the preset selected. + Or - 1 or 2 octaves - 6 octaves (!) For the effects of dive-bomb the EVH, but also things more nuance such as -1 tone that creates sounds close to the game bottleneck, etc. ... This is actually a pedal "alien" that allows all the wildest experimentation that uses the most nuanced according to the foot that arise over.

The presets called "Harmony" are not far behind. In contrast presets "Whammy", their function is to add the scores obtained in the original note depending, again, the preset selected. This makes it possible to add to the note played different intervals which vary depending on pedal position. For example, 4te /-5TE respectively when the pedal is in position "point in the air" or "point down". Or-1oct / 1 October Or you 5/6 you, etc. ...
You can get a lot of interesting things. For example, with the preset you 5/6 you, you can get convincing tones type Pedal-Steel, proof that this pedal is not only devoted to Tom Morellesques acrobatics.

Finally, two presets "Detune" pseudo-chorus offer a relatively limited but that does its job and makes some good service.

The bulk of this version + (regarded by followers as the fourth of the series) is definitely the presence of its MIDI input that allows it to respond to many follies.
Via a sequencer, it becomes possible for example to create melodic figures using a control change corresponding to the position of the foot control. It also becomes possible for musicians rackés of "ranger" pedal in a drawer in the flight case and Whammy to drive the distance from a MIDI foot controller. The advantages are so obvious. Reducing the number of audio cables and / or length between the pedal-board and the rack, can change the preset Whammy on the fly from the pedals without having to stoop, ability to drive the pedal via a reader of midi files, etc. ... Some manufacturers do in fact there are not deceived, see for example Moltent Voltage MIDI 2 (http://www.moltenvoltage.com/molten_midi_2.html) multiplies the possibilities of the Whammy.
In short, this is surely the greatest innovation introduced by Digitech pedal to its red.

Its faults it remains important to keep in mind. A bypass deplorable gripe a lot the original raw signal, and of course the fact that his treatment suffers polyphonic playing. But this latter deficiency is also being appreciated by many guitarists because it provides a characteristic bleating sound plays as soon as we agreed, however, that the pedal is activated mode 1 October (for example). This is actually a sound that I like my m ^ m much to the point that it became the base effect of a number of my compositions. Incidentally, I found some small variants in conjunction with the pitch-shifter of my Axe-FX Ultra. For example, a mode in October to play chords, I correct the pitch with the pitch-shifter of the Axis-1oct fashion. Result, I play with the height of my normal tuning, but while enjoying the sound instability which I just mentioned. And there are many other possible uses ...

If instead the "default" makes you cringe and want absolute stability in polyphonic playing, you better turn to another model like the Whammy or the Bomber DT Morpheus.

OVERALL OPINION

Everything said above ...

This is the legendary whammy pedal that put digitech on the MAP! It also made a few guitarists super duper famous. I have the 4th revision of it. I don't know exactly what's different, maybe it tracks better and some of the parts for the build are a bit better? Also the casing is different in size, maybe smaller, not sure.

Definitely the dive bomb feature is new, don't know when they started putting that feature in but the whammy 4 definitely has it.

Whammy modes including famous 2 Octave Up as heard on 100's of songs!
10 Harmony Bend modes including 2nd Up to 3rd Up simulating pedal steel bends!
Expression pedal controls dive bombs and bends
Cutting-edge pitch detection engine designed specifically for guitar delivers fast accurate shifting!
MIDI In & Out/Thru to control pitch bends via cc's




UTILIZATION

Pretty simple to get any of those RATM sounds you've heard many many times before. Just stick to the 2 octave up setting, Tom uses that the most the last time I checked.

Overall, easy to setup, just simple plug it in and turn the knob to whatever setting you want to play around with and step on it and rock it back and forth to get crazy!



SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality here is hard to define exactly. For the tone purists this is a pedal to stay away from, it's not true bypass (though there are mods out there these days for that) nor does it really 'retain that original guitar sound' as it's kinda meant to warp it and shift it in pitch and do crazy things to your guitar sound. So those who have rigs or boards with nice boutiquey-truebypass-non tone-sucking setups, this'll probably negatively affect your signal chain.

But then again that's not the point of this pedal. It's designed to be the wild card in your rig! So coming into the game knowing that, you'll find yourself having a lot more fun with the sounds this pedal has to offer.

I actually really like the detune features both the deep and shallow they sound like convincingly good as a chorus-replacement! The dive bomb feature is also great. I used to play only floating bridge equipped guitars to do all the tricks but I've gotten sick of maintaining them and worrying about tuning stability etc so I've gone hard tail and with the whammy I can replicate the same ideas though of course they don't sound alike, the whammy makes it sounds more digital but I kinda like that!


OVERALL OPINION

To conclude this is actually the first whammy i've owned. I know so many players who have owned it before and sold it and bought it back again etc. Like I said it's the wild card in your pedalboard. Either you can find use for it or you can just use it for some fun tricks! I think it's quite worth having for what I do. I do a lot of cover songs especially Rage tunes, I also don't have a chorus pedal but with the whammy I now have 2 chorus settings to use. I also now only own fixed bridge guitars so I can't do the trem tricks, and yet again here's the whammy to cover those tricks for me! Pretty useful in my book.

Again it's not a great sound in terms of 'tone' it's digital-ish so you'd have to get over that, or mod it if you got the extra time and $$.

The digitech whammy of is actually a Octaver, the pedals can raise or lower in the notes (until October 2 and October -6) technology whammy is in fact disappear as the fundamental and measure of the pedals appuyage thus there is only one note.

This wide variety of pedals possde Octaver.

The detuneur dcalage trslger is a note giving the chorus sound but not unlike a rotary chorus pedals.

It has an output between twelve one dry practice leads connected to an electronic tuner.

UTILIZATION

The edition is a simple wheel enables going from one position to another. A Bypass switch is down the pedals it is easy to access. The PDAL is fixed when the foot is loose in the event that allows filtering of not having readjusted during the game

Octaver mode is varied and can range from two position with the pedals (eg -1 in October in the open position in a firm)

The manual is very simple.

SOUND QUALITY

So it's the fte. The sound is excellent whammy is very close to the original. It is far from the trs mistake digitech 100 with XP. The grain is beautiful and it's not what mtallique found on the XP100.
Bypass mode is excellent and even when the whammy is shot towards the rear sound is not altrer.
The Detune is interresting because it is activated only in closed position (down) and allows to note some of the chorus in a song.
regarding the Octaver what if the whammy is excellent dj Octaver the best that can be (because fewer electrons comes into play, see beginners)
I utils to beginners with a disto Boss DS2, now I also combines with the distortion on my Marshall, trs sound is good with a distortion APRS.
As for the guitar uses two fundamental differences: Single or Double microphone?
The sound gives a simple micro-whammy of a softer, less violent thereby making Młoda its distortion.
The dual microphone when they are convenient for quick shots whammy or rapid movement of the foot.
See for yourself with your games.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde whammy this for 3 years to replace the XP 100 (I had 3 years as well).
The positive cots:
- It combines readily with other pedals because the sound output is sharp
- It is recalibrating the touch of the switch on / off during power up (and more expensive problem of very Repair Tool again for just one octave)
- It is very solid, switch on / off is mtal switch that changes the plastic (I had to do rpar every six months so that I do not violently above)
- Roulette is easy to access with the foot in case you have forgotten to turn it before playing it can be done without stooping.

The cots negative: low if you do not like red. If anything.
My best investment of Contents "effect.
Ms. MRIT it new price.

I will not spend the lowest There's all that necessary.
just my personal opinion:
efficase is simple, I just AIM another knob that would have a dry mix of sound and sound related.

UTILIZATION

Nothing to say, it's great ... well done

SOUND QUALITY

Ben for me is the hurt that has:
I have not found her that well, once the sound is modified by the Octaver, it's really bizarre, note ranges, it's not fluid at all (like the sound of d stall a harmonizer) is also what happens if you play two notes at once.
It goes into distortion, but its clear you can hear it really, the sound is not accurate even if it actually keeps a good momentum trs. I am not quibble, I really t's.

OVERALL OPINION

I got it for 1 year and I have all of the same well with jou, but some things I've always drang.
I found what c'tait when I sold it to buy a 88 yd. or there is a transition from one octave to another very fluid trs, trs singing, a sound as pure trs, no tremor and amme consistent if we want. forcment is not done but it does a much better
But hey it's the only good which whammy pedals, it's true ...

Digital effects pedal harmonizer, which is also octave, pitch, flanger & chorus.
It has a MIDI output, a power line in, line out, line out directly (no effect)
knob and can select the effect.
The case is heavy, and apparently a strength to any épreuves.On avoid any well all events, it's not obligé.Il fed with a Power Box comes with, no place for batteries here .
and of course the expression pedal that varies the desired sound.
Some say it is for metalheads priority .. I did not especially but yet I'm completely Whammysé ...

UTILIZATION

It is a lighter foot pressure and the desired option is selected, is not simple.
So we can choose between three types of main effects, the Bender at the foot, it changes the note of the desired interval, interface, or it has two effects called "deep" and "shadow" which are nothing that a flanger and a chorus (from what I see) adjustable by the pressure of the exp pedal. and finally the harmonizer, 9 presets.
These nine types of harmonizer, or the sound of the instrumment mixed with his third, his fifth, his sixth, etc., up to the octave. In each case, we just change the note added with the expression pedal.
For the whammy, it's six types of product variation;
2 types can vary from your note, descending or ascending, the other two differ by an octave, like, one down and one going up, and two other, similar, but a octave.
it's simple and effective.
I have not had the opportunity to test the MIDI, not follower.

SOUND QUALITY

Then I shared.
Concretely, when you turn the mode whammy effect, what happens is a slight delay on the sound as is, or without the pedal is enfonsée.c is boring, anyway.
is lost in presence.
after, the sound effect is the same as convaincant.En + is compared with all imitations are pérraves I tested (some more), it is, there's no picture!
the whammy 2 octaves to tear you in two!
This is the formid.Et + crazy is that once the extreme treble, 2 octaves above sea level, the sound is correct!
The bass becomes a banjo mandolin guitar in ... .... and between the two poles of the effect, it mimics a scratch easily ... the resulting options are numerous.

fou.Mystère.il it is good, a little "pixelation" sound, but no worse than the same recreated by a ordi.C is effective
The harmonizer them are correct.
And should we therefore blame the loss of her?
Yes it's a shame, but you do not have to keep it switched on when not in use.
Then turn right at the moment of the effect, there hoodwinked.

OVERALL OPINION

A good effect, the best of its kind to my connaissance.Solide, efficient ...
The debate is: between the fact that the sound is attenuated enu both the effect on, and the fact that it is very well restored during the "pitch", is this a good deal?
I say, given the other replicas, it is by far the meilleure.Bon the price is uncompromising against him ... it's an investment, I know, you must be crazy effects then or what we cherche.Moi I find that it still kills.

See description below

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?

A very simple switch to activate the pedal. A small switch to raise or lower the presets would inch was the luxury ...
- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Very simple, because limited to a type of effect. In the limit only the calibration is a bit painful.

SOUND QUALITY

Well there ... I think this is a very specific purpose, which does not fit in. across. It is interesting, but must hand over fare.

I was not attracted not the machine. Also a slight latency is evident in qq modes.

For the complexity of the impact and originality 9 I will, for the latency and not always very natural side effect I will 4. I note 6.

OVERALL OPINION

In the end I did not keep. I think with a little practice and imagination can achieve a result ... see Muse and RATM example ...

* We are dealing with an octave. (Up / down gradually, or not, one or two octaves or down three octaves with the new Dive Bomb effect) The WH4 also offers the possibility to switch to Drop (-1 ton)
* Play with the harmonies: When playing a note, we get the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh or octave corresponding major or minor.
* Two sounds supplmentaires Deep and Shallow
* Pure numrique (Digitech)
* Exit South, between a jack 'dry' and 'wet'

UTILIZATION

* The configuration is rather simple, even if it takes some time to learn how to use and fully exploit all the capabilities.
* The edition is very simple since pre-program the pedals ^ ^
* I do not have the manual with REU, so you must learn to use them on time and with experience. However if you really galerez you will find the manual french / english in PDF format on the Internet.

SOUND QUALITY

* The effects are super efficient and indmodables. It has a PDAL importance in several groups (in particular Rage against the Machine Tom Morello, and Muse) It would be big to say that the sound is 'raliste' because everything is a digital traffic America, and certain sounds sound really dull and plain computer (one could almost hear the pixels ^ ^) but hey it's not particularly shocking and it goes very well on the saturation.
* I use a Fender Stratocaster, but especially with a Les Paul Gold Top, with which one can enjoy even more thanks to the selector switch in micro transform on / off
* I have a real weakness for 1 and 2 octave up, which allow you to make truly original solos and space, in short, dejants.

OVERALL OPINION

* I use the pedals for two years and become indispensable to me. The songs take on another dimension, and the pedals are saving when you think you have achievement and explores the world of solos and effects ^ ^ I use it to play Rage Against the Machine and solos Tom Morello, but I am also very useful in my personal component.
* The price is reasonable, I do not regret this purchase

See other reviews
I note that this is just the largest of all the whammy, and it is annoying to the caller pedalboard

UTILIZATION

Simple Config
recalibration is not easy to understand at first, too bad it's explained in the manual I had to go live on the site
but once done it's done
I have no personal problems or irregularity which is nickel

SOUND QUALITY

What could be more effective than whammy
is the sound after whammy, as it tastes, but if you like morello ...
Used with a scratch in assets, but it works equally well with other instruments (bass, winds, etc.)
I use a lot the octave 1 or 2 colors on top, basic, and sometimes other modes that are also funs

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 1 month
I like that this pedal sounds fun product
cons to be considered by it as just something fun, it's not really an indispensable since we used an ad hoc basis, contrairemene a reverb for example ...
Q / P I find a little abused, but there is no tro choice in this category so ...
With the experience I would do so this choice, although fun to c WOUIIIIIN WIIIIII WOUIIIN WIII Wiwi WIIWIIII
Moreover, the response and the whammy
WIIIIIIIII
hehehehe end c ca eat without hunger

I will not go on, and, there's a lot of opinions ...

So it's a harmonizer with an expression pedal, a pitch or a chorus in the manner.

We have a choice of modes: Harmony in the octave but also to all the intervals (7, 7 b, 6, 5, fourth etc ...) that overlap to create different intonations depending the position of the pedal ... For example, one sixth the pedal up and pedal in a straight down ... It was therefore the direct sound with the sound tranposé at a time.

The pitch at different scale, the pedal down, the direct sound, the pedal is on the top two octaves, one octave, -1 octave, octave -2, -3 octave (Dive Bomber) or detune (1 ton and less, the whole guitar goes in D).

The mode chorus chorus presents two more or less pronounced and then the effect is modulated with the pedal.

In short a lot of things on the menu and it will take time to shop around and find what all this may well be useful ...

UTILIZATION

Archi-use simple, one knob to select the effect and a button to pedal Inrush ...

The small downside is that there are many different mode so you can hardly choose the mode by turning the foot ... it seems to be a luxury, but when I have a pedal that makes a lot of things I like to pass easily from one to another. It can be useful in moving a piece of a single octave to dive bomb mode or an octave ... we must add a MIDI foot controller for it ...

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality ... it's hard to judge because it is a unique effect, without competition. The sound is distorted when you change octave ... but is it normal? Quality? A defect? At first I took it as a defect, and now I like the distortion it produces, it's pretty special, I like it. I do not use with my guitar but I used it once with one voice ... it's also his taff ', but not for.

[edit] There is a competitor, the electro-Harmonix HOG with an expression pedal, it has also looked good "cleaner". According to a video on YouTube could be implemented play a few tones easily and even the octave would produce very little sound distortion ... a check by testing for yourself [/ edit]

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year, I like most is that this is not an effect, but really musical possibilities and more ... it's more a transforamtion of the instrument sound in itself. A year later I still have not found how to properly use all modes, and that's excellenet for research and inspiration! Muse and Radiohead are some very interesting things with on a few albums all ... RATM but as yet we are not in the same style ... everyone is using it as he sees fit and it sometimes surprises ... I find myself making electro arpeggios and solos from Radiohead and Daft Punk ...

We do this more. Everything has been said below.

UTILIZATION

Yes it is simple to use. A knob that lets you choose the effect, an on / off switch that turns on the fact, with the pedal to open or closed position or as you like, and the expression pedal. We chose the effect is active, you play.
Things to know, you must regularly calibrate the expression pedal that goes wrong (probably in the transport). It is therefore imperative to test before each concert to avoid disappointment!

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is effective, but mono. Useless to try a chord by activating the effect, the result would be a slurry sound inaudible.
No true bypass, but when the effect is disabled, it will more or less.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years, it is substantially better than the built-whammy effect in my old Digitech pedals GNX3.
I have a similar function in my pedal Rocktron Utopia. A kind of Whammy. The advantage, the effect is polyphonic (it also works for the agreements), but it is limited to one octave lower than two octaves (against two upper and two lower for the whammy). In addition, there is a slight "aliasing" in the sound when the Whammy is "fluid".
In conclusion I would do so this choice despite the shortcomings of the whammy. I do not know many competing products, but I think that there is unfortunately not much.

Diffrent full of modes, one for its price in no complaints at all!
An expression pedals a little hard and is not very strong, I think ... I put 9.

UTILIZATION

Nothing to say except that I find a great pity that there have not 2 + switch in order to make good becaufe Previous Next bend down to change the preset or try with your foot is not on the top! So I put 8.

SOUND QUALITY

It's the sound whammy, the bypass is dfault all rotten, and when one engages especially when d-switches on the pedals make a big noise was not pretty! Digitech should review when a same! I put 7.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 years soon, it's a sign dja (the only pedals that I kept for so long!) It worked fine and do what is asked, I not use too many effects of cot left except a harmonizer or -1 octave. The price would be correct if the bypass was not rotten ... But hey!
Yes I would do this choice, all fawn there's no alternative! is the effect that I have long since +! I put 9 because of default it a.

CHARACTERISTICS see others, it's the same

UTILIZATION

Using super simple, not really need the manual, transformer provided good
pdalier super heavy and stable top quality while mtal color red Ferrari, and pais
trs prcis and enjoyable to use
trslger the switch is not loud and strong

SOUND QUALITY

Parat has no better
I use it with my IBZ JS100 and rg 550 20th anniversary
combined with the pink floyd dive bomb, adchire all! by adding to an increasingly wahwah, simultanment rocking, screaming terrrrrrrible!

there is no dcallage, then, are all DIFFERENT pRSET EXPLIT
I use it mostly with a disto

OVERALL OPINION

I've had + / - 6 months, just CHRE (210eur nine) but the quality is top notch. is not essential but a great effect over the sound (have bought Paske Vai and Herman Li z'en there are and it is true that a ring of death, especially combined wahwah a) for solos is cool.

I will not present the Whammy ...
Pedal robust manufacturing serious ...
Too bad it is not equipped with 2 footswitches (up and down) to select the effects ...

UTILIZATION

really easy to use.

SOUND QUALITY

I have often heard that it might sound ... I have nothing found alarming: no wind, mild scanning signal but nothing too serious: I am the branch of an effects loop and adjust the sound Mesa is still there!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a week ago and I do not regret my purchase, this pedal is worth every penny ... you plug away and it sounds very strong.
a really cool pedal.

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
It is a PDAL octave / harmonizer (gift features chorus and flanger).

- What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)
Numrique. No truebypass or buffer.

- Are they ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC?
Not ditable (well I do not see what could edit on a octave / harmonizer).

- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
As in:
AFTERNOON.
Jack.

In out:
Jack-wet (with effect).
Jack-dry (no effect).

- Is this a rack or rack MODEL?
It can be placed in the loop (this is what I do) or before pramp. I pramp test before and I must admit not to have felt as his diffrence is that for a given I in my loop (can be a little diffrence in heavy distortion).

- Your score on this?
On paper: PDAL octave / harmonizer, CONTRL possibility of easily thanks to MIDI, for 200 it was worth the money (it is on that is far from an Eventide but price is far too).
10/10, blameless on this issue technically.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
The plug & play in his art: it engages you select the effect and go.

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?
No edition of possible sounds so it is quiet for a.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The manual (Fran and English) perfectly explains everything you need to know about the pedals.

- Your score on this?
PDAL plug and play, nothing more effective and easier to use.
10/10 criticized because nothing on this point too.

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?
You get what you ask, for example: you go to an octave, it triggers the effect, we put the pedals all the way forward, the report notes an octave is found suprieur. Kapichira?.
In terms of adaptation, I'd say it's all about parsimony: the whammy without stopping, so nothing to kill music, and instead use trsslect surprise effect and above all give the audience a lment REALLY interesting in your song.
In terms of ism is a bit more complex. The pedals of the big problems is the effect "Nintendo" on your guitar sound: once the power button of the effect we find ourselves engaged in the years to sounds 8 ~ 16 bits . If you use many effects, one can make a smooth move, but if you tend trainer a little too hard and it means a specially. I guess Nintendo-core gamers apprcierons, the players will do with standard, and a home-studio owners prfrerons Eventide.

- Which instruments do you use?
My amp is a Mesa / Boogie DC-3, my guitars are a RX100 changes in lead guitar, a JV200 (not change ) And a Jazzmaster 62 'GAVI. For the rack just my Bulldog to keep him company, and I have my Boss tuner just before the pramp.

- What are those you prfrez, you dtest?
I think that using a Whammy trs is personal, I love making tapping both hands using the octave and switch between a low position and high position in rhythm, the effect is just amazing . I hardly use it solo without a partner in all directions. Regarding use of an effect over a long period (rhythmic or Młoda) loss of quality of sound is REALLY boring.
Note the little extra that comes from the pedals and no harmonizer can not reproduce: the positions intermdiaire effects, trs trs particular, trs interesting exploit.

- Your score on this?
9 / 10, the two points as missing dt altration the sound, having said that for 200 I did not expect a miracle pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I use the Whammy for 6 months and this daily.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Plus: dmontre it really necessary after a moment, just as a flyod rose to a distortion pedals ect ... and this because of its unique effects.
The least: the loss of quality (but it's really just compare what the pedals, you can do). The other ngatif that may appear is the misuse of the whammy.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I use my long multi Zoom GFX-8 effects as harmonizer (it had no effect octave) and the quality mdiocre really silent, I know that there are also different effect pedals only by octave or harmonizer but I was never more than a tent (the things on their quality n'tais not as good as those on the Whammy).

- How do you report qualitprix?
Difficult to find a rel a competitor or any alternative to a 200 harmonizer / octave as easily contrlable. REALLY worth the price. For those who doubt the reliability of the next concert of Steve Vai Astoria, APRS and seeing what he inflicted (kicking strong enough, it stands above the end ... inter alia ).

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Exprience with this choice I would do if the competition is always the same on the market.

- Your score on this?
I put all of the same evil 10/10 grs default the small of her once active.

T say everything I think: 3 catgories effects, a knob, expression pedal, a switch, and 2out 1in (one to connect a tuner), a MIDI (for the rest of MIDI), and between the adapter (SPECIFICATIONS elsewhere, which is not cool at all ...)

UTILIZATION

Still, it simplicime use: we choose, it engages and rock'n'roll.

SOUND QUALITY

So is the less well on certain points: the effect is trs fun and all, sounds zarb and machinery and it ca ...
But (because there is a but) when the switch is activated but the pedals is not actuated, there is a latency that is felt: loss of attack, lightweight dcalage ... In addition, not more than 2 notes at once without it makes draft (we could have an effect with the 12-string octave doubler but not!).

But overall, it's still a good effect, and found a useful (especially with the octave personal) to ca ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 3 years, 3 years since I do not know what too tell me ... It's not a bad pedals, you can experiment, but it's hard to place in a song, we may easily fall into the "I is everywhere" (as Tom Morello and Jack White dernieremment ... in my opinion).
And it's expensive! A rating pedals that expensive (as Laurent Ruquier the tl), I had to leave the seller a testicle ...
Jpense I would do this choice because I still use it starts a little, but given the complexity mastered the trick, I rflchirai 2 times ...

This is the best whammy that is. There is no difference between the note and play the note heard! It's great!
The effects are divided into three parts: Whammy, detune, Harmony.
Whammy: up 2 octaves up 1 octave down 1 octave, 2 octaves down, down three octaves (dive Bomp) and drop a tune that puts the guitar Drop D.

Detune: Shallow, Deep. These effects Disagree on guitar a bit (and swallow a lot (deep). Great when you bend the strings!

Harmony: The note will mix with the third, his fifth, his sixth etc ... So: octave up ocatve down, down by 5 and 4, 4 and 3. up to: 5 and 7, 5 and 6, 4 and 5, 3 and 4, 3 (flat) and 3, 2 and 3. The first number is when the pedal is at the heel and the second to toe.

It has a button to activate the pressure or bypass effects. And a central button to select the effect.
There is one input and two outputs (one with and one without effects) and a MIDI input.

The pedal is very complete and very diverse, it is also easy to control.

UTILIZATION

It is a very simple pedal, you plug this guitar and amp or our industry is we put a mix of guitar to be able to get the effect and its normal (very useful). You plug the power supply and we choose the desired effect, then the peak active and playing with the pedal!

In order not to have a Pancher me every time I want to change because I built a stick that I can put the button pivot to change the effect to my height Very handy!

SOUND QUALITY

The quality is professional. It's good stock digitech, the whammy is very well done it is solid and the effects sound great. The effects 3 octave down and dive bomb my opinion its useless since few can achieve the tone amplifier, it's really too bad! Duve bomb on the small rope sounds like a big string bass ... the other strings do not ring true ... But apart this is perfect!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I love it! I like the whammy and detune, I try the whammy pedal on the ex-7 Expression Factory Digitech and really it's awful. The real whammy is much better!
I would do is choose your eyes closed, even if it's a bit expensive ...

3 modes for three groups of effects pedals on the Submitted Whammy WH-4 ( http://cachepe.samedaymusic.com/media/quality%2C85/brand%2Csameday/Whammy-e994f197a42446b24f384387d859a34f.jpg ) technology numrique:

-> Harmony (9 in total including a preset pitch shifter / octave)
This effect adds SIMULTANMENT a note (or "voice") in height diffrent of the plays, the voice says can be higher or lower.
Here we have a choice between 2 notes added to each preset, the expression pedals will therefore have to gradually between these two notes.
The pitch shifter is a special case of the harmonizer since it adds an octave pil hair suprieure note plays. Same thing for Octaver, add a infrieure octave.

-> Detune (2 preset)
Detune mode is a chorus effect. Detune why call? Because technically a chorus divides the signal into two, the "detune" lgrement and remixes with the original signal.
2 choruses on offer here: Shallow, Deep and o is the depth varies with the expression pedals. So for this rather comprehensive modulation effect: a chorus trs discrte color depths, the limit of a vibrato.

-> Whammy (6 preset)
The Whammy (by cre Digitech and has given the name of the pedals) is a Octaver contrlable foot. We always share the note played (open) and with the expression pedals on CONTRL advance its height (the "pitch").
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">+ October 1st:</span> you go up gradually the note plays an octave
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">+ October 2:</span> same thing up to 2 octaves
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">- October 1:</span> it gradually descends an octave play the note
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">- October 2:</span> same thing on two octaves
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dive Bomb:</span> simulation of a floyd pushed back, then you go down the note up an amp sound that catches fire (frquences lower extreme)!
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Drop Tune</span> it down to a tone, as if you went down to 2 boxes on your sleeve. Please do not use the preset tuning in to simulate a drop, you would have invited a rsultat dsastreux (the pedals is not polyphonic while on agreements there will be some latency).

- Expression pedals, each preset can be used for growth between the effect in the open position of the pedals to the effect in strong position

- "Wheel" to select the preset

- Dry Out: unlike a "Output 2", this does not come out effect (useful for connecting to a tuner for example)

- MIDI output to control the preset at the foot of the south by a Controller (!)

- Powered by a transformer adquate: 9V AC (AC) and 1.3A

- Mode "calibration" to recalibrate the pedals of expression
Pedals so robust and complements, and yes it&#39;s not just the Whammy Whammy pedals in one! Note ngatif point: unlike his prdcesseur the XP100, we can not do dfile the preset at the foot other than MIDI.

UTILIZATION

The effects can be controlled via a MIDI Controller or else it will turn the hand, so we&#39;ll have an AIM or 2 switch for lowering or raising the preset.
The manual ( ftp://ftp.digitech.com/pub/PDFs/Manuals/Whammy.pdf ) is frankly not ncessaire.

The pedals should normment styles of music (there&#39;s that pro users see this effect (TheEdge, TomMorello, MattBellamy, Munky, JonnyGreenwood, Me, Buckethead ...)

The Whammy is open your imagination, 36 000 calves to use it.

The use of the method is not ais harmonizer in 3 / 4 cases, you have to play at preset range SPECIFICATIONS for rings.

We must know how to use an expression pedals ... (and so playing up is not always easy believe me!), You rglez flexibility / hardness because it is adjustable.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">The cache mode to calibrate the pedals of expression:</span>
- Unplug the transformer
- Press the switch to activate the pedals
> LED flashes, the calibration mode is active
- Reconnect the transformer
- To the minimum position of the maximum position of expression pedals
- Press again to disable the switch mode calibration

SOUND QUALITY

Link to samples ( http://www.harmony-central.com/Reviews/DigitechWhammy/002.html )
Sample 2 ( http://media.putfile.com/Whammy-WH-4-Test )

I especially m&#39;intresse whammy mode, be aware that other items on offer are fairly good quality. Do not buy this for the harmonizer pedals, the Boss and EHX About by example is better because polyphonic (can Jougla agreements with).

Your sound is automatically PForm normment follies sound is possible!
In his wonderfully clear compltera a delay effect.

C trs sounds "digitally numrique".

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Weaknesses:</span>
- No transparency: Ds activation of your pedals sound ALTR (loss of most attacks), and this even if you are beginners in your race (whammy effect is not active).

- Bad bypass: although the pedals or disables (in bypass so), the signal is processed by passing through the circuit of the Whammy and did not come out unscathed from its color.

- Effect monophonic (except in chorus of course): impossibility to play chords, my faith in single coil can pass the rigorous, but not on complex agreements.
Personally I find that it has a charm Whammy mode, all notes that are dcrochent and who are looking a bit like a Seek Wah!


OVERALL OPINION

The Whammy ( http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3125/whammyorig204bv2.jpg ) trs quickly becomes your plaything prfr sound effects if you like modern unconventional.
Its main strength is its versatility efficiency a wide range of styles and riffs of all DIFFERENT from each other.
Be careful, even for non-transparency, can interfere in some respects (palm muted, etc ...). Too bad the design is not at the top ....

The Whammy is also available on older MODELS: WH-1 WH-2, XP100 or the effects of multi brand (RP50, Expression Factory ...)

I wait impatiently .. dsespoir a WH-5 transparent, true bypass and polyphonic .... onreuse and then.

The accessory that is important: the home Whammidi LNA Guitar Effects Controller that serves MIDI (with LCD) and true bypass looper.

The -
. Product design: primarily non-transparency and poor bypass

Most
. great potential
. many preset while keeping the simplicity of product use
. expressivitbr />
Last days: A tutorial and see the day to change the pedals to get a true bypass! If the change scares you, MSM Workshop trs is good.

Everything has been said about the Whammy almost. It's a digital pedal and that is that there's a catch!

UTILIZATION

The problem of selection of different modes at the foot of the Whammy is easily adjusted through the tutorial available on the AF forum. I myself realize this little box (type EH nano) for thirty euros at Banzai effects. Because if you change the mode during a song the original potentiometer requires us to let go of our instrument (not glop). Inside the manual is the tip to reboot his whammy. Because the bitch be fussy with some rooms flickering electricity and pure paranoia I was trying to paste a acordeur the output of the Whammy. Power consumption also the effect does corespond no other which makes it mandatory to provide space for the small transformer, even if one has planned a general power to his pedalboard.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects of the Whammy is faiths today thanks to Tom Morello Darell or Dime and The Edge. However, the initial defects of the original Whammy (which I sold a copy possedeo for electrical instability and also to ridicule the size of its expression pedal) are still there.
A pedal that horribly digitized sound of your instrument (this is also its charm). And the effect does not maintain true bybass, the worse the effect occurs and triggers the expression pedal in the air, your sound becomes Pettit and with no boundaries, it is imperative to turn off the effect if any part Whammy is expected. The Whammy is a harmonizer of fair quality. Remains the Whammy effect that it will have are: LEGENDARY you are told.

OVERALL OPINION

Given the commercial success of this gear, the engineers at Wacky Digitech have become major flemards sitting on the laurels of a fabulous machine but was duty bound to evolve. And not with Muse that will change! I'm like everyone else I love this digital (sic).
