All user reviews for the DigiTech Whammy WH-4

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!
love
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.

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).

DigiTech is now on their fourth revision of the original Whammy pedal. This model features full MIDI implementation, which is a HUGE plus. Aside from MIDI, the other new features that the Whammy WH-4 brings to the table are the "divebomb" and "droptune" presets. This allows you to simulate a floyd rose or a downtuning effect, respectively.

UTILIZATION

DigiTech did a great job with this pedal. Its footprint is small enough to where it's not bulky but big enough to where it feels just right. The manual does a wonderful job at explaining the new features and showing you how to wire everything up. Setting this pedal up for MIDI in a rack is a piece of cake. The rotary knob is sturdy and feels great when spinning it, and these things are pretty reliable. I just wish it had an on/off LED indicator.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of the Whammy WH-4 is pretty good. It's not the same as the WH-1, but it's closer than the XP-100 was. There's actually a cool comparison between the two on Youtube if you search. The sweep feels nice, but the divebombs aren't that realistic. If you're expecting it to be the same as a floyd rose, it won't be. It also doesn't track good enough to be a real pitch shifter. What I mean is, you're not going to be able to sound like you're in D when you're in E. That said, the chorusing effects on this are actually pretty good. Keep in mind that this pedal sucks a little bit of tone, so it might be worth looking into putting it into a true bypass loop or modding it for true bypass.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're looking for a Whammy pedal, your choices are fairly limited. The Whammy WH-4 has been out for awhile, but given its price, it's still a strong contender. The new Eventide Timefactor is awesome, but it's quite a bit of money. There are some budget knock offs, but this pedal still remains a whammy pedal worth considering if you're looking for that kind of effect.

Everything has been said and explained well by my colleagues below.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, no need for manual, easy to use but actually, if we could change effect with a footswitch would be delighted.
This is the only pedal my pedalboard for my PSU which is inconsistent because in AC, why make it simple when it can be different from others

SOUND QUALITY

- The Harmonizer is nice, its a chouille imperfect and I love it.
- The effect whammy worked wonders, however, I agree with other reviews. Once you lose the pedal triggered the attack, as if a compressor was built.
- The Dive Bomb effect and Drop Tune are a little "gadget" but hey it could always be useful, Tune Drop me a lot already used to mimic the effect of the floyd rose I did not: p

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month only, but fairly intensive. There is no real competitor for the whammy effect, on the other hand at harmonizer find even better known.
I am very satisfied with my purchase, but when you put € 180 into a pedal they hope to change presets without having to stoop and a by-pass quality.

The Digitech Whammy WH-4 Reissue is a digital effects pedal designed for use with electric guitar.  It has 1/4 inch connections and is powered by the power supply that comes with it.  It isn't a rackable piece of gear as it is a foot pedal and controller.



UTILIZATION

The configuration of the Digitech Whammy WH-4 Reissue is fairly easy to follow as it didn't take me long at all to understand everything that was going on with this pedal.  It has a slightly different make up when compared to the original WH-1 whammy and the WH-2.  The pedal has a knob for choosing between either harmony mode or whammy mode and also has a detune mode which is like a chorus effect.  That is pretty much all there is to this pedal and after playing around with it for a few minutes I'm sure you'd be able to get the hang of it pretty quickly.  The manual for the Digitech Whammy WH-4 Reissue is thorough and complete but isn't needed if you don't already have it.



SOUND QUALITY

While the sound quality of the Digitech Whammy WH-4 Reissue isn't as great as the original WH-1, it still has a great sound and is probably a little bit cleaner - it just lacks the vibe that the original has.  This being said I would bet that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless they had both pedal next to each other and were comparing them.  I like using the octave up and octave down modes the best, but it is definitely cool to mess around with the harmony effects and the detune modes are surprisingly pretty great as well.  If you don't know about the great effects you can get with this whammy pedal, its time to treat yourself!


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Digitech Whammy WH-4 Reissue for about five or six years and it is definitely one of the most unique pedals out there.  This has become pretty popular over the last few years as it has been used by a lot of famous players.  While this is an effect I used sparingly as I find that if you use it too much it can become overplayed, when used in the right situation and with taste can produce some incredible effects.  If you are looking for a great pedal at a reasonable price that will give you endless hours of fun, I would definitely recommend the Digitech Whammy WH-4 Reissue.

The Digitech Whammy pedal is a pretty interesting piece of gear. It certainly has a unique sound that many players have found to be inimitable. Tom Morello, Wes Borland, Dimebag Darrel, and many others were fond of this in the late 90's, and much of that music has its stamp all over it. While that music may have fallen out of fashion, there are still plenty of uses for this pedal in other genres that haven't been tried.
Unlike most octave pedals, this one lets you take the signal up or down two octaves instead of just one (for the somewhat old-fashioned, the one octave feature is still there). If you're having trouble finding an electric bass, the one octave down setting can sometimes be a decent replacement for practice sessions.
It has some other effects too, like a series of harmonizers that sound pretty decent, and the sweet &quot;dive bomb effect&quot; that basically simulates the Floyd Rose Whammy Bar, without taking forever to set up and potentially ruining your tuning. The newest model has a midi controller that was absent on the first.

UTILIZATION

The pedal is pretty self explanatory. Anyone who knows what octaves and intervals are should not have a problem with it. The manual is probably unnecessary for all but the newest players.

SOUND QUALITY

Ever wonder how Tom Morello plays that nuts solo in &quot;Killing in the Name&quot;? He uses this pedal on almost everything Rage did. If wild, crazy noises are the kind of thing you are into, then I suggest you buy this pedal. You will have some of the funkiest noises imaginable coming out of your amp. If used sparingly it can change up the sound during a live show and really turn heads! The best effects are the dive bomb and the octave jumps. The harmonizers are cool but I really have no use for them.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this pedal is pretty great. I've had it for about six years and it's served me well when I needed it. The only thing I can say is, handle with care. I dropped mine once and the knob that changes the settings broke off. It's become almost impossible to use without a makeshift knob replacement, and even then, it's a pain. Also, stay away if you are looking for more traditional sounds, because this pedal is supposed to be pretty wacky. If you don't want other players to know exactly what you're using, find something else, because this might be one of the most obvious pedals on the market. It also can be quite grating on the ears if not EQ'd properly, so be careful. One bad experience with it was enough for me to put it down for awhile. It's also pricey so make sure you're gonna get your money's worth.
Personally, I tend to play more classic-style rock and R&B, and when I freak out I tend to stick more to feedback and echoes. Two octave leaps usually aren't what I'm looking for. If you are looking for something to really make people notice you, this might be it, but use it sparingly and don't rely on it or you'll risk sounding more novelty than innovative.

(Originally written by charlou la fouine/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Everything has been already said: three effect categories, wheel, expression pedal, switch, 1 x in and 2 x out (one for a tuner), Midi out and PSU socket (not universal...).

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use: select, switch on and rock'n'roll!

SOUND QUALITY

When it comes to this point it's another story: the effect is fun, strange, etc.

But you can feel some latency when the switch is on and the pedal is not used: less attack, short delay... And it's impossible to play more than two notes simultaneously without getting a muddy sound.

As a summary, it's still a good effect and you'll find applications for it (specially the customizable octaver)...

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for three years and I still haven't made my mind up about this effect... It's not a bad pedal. i mean, it's great if you want to experiment, but it's not easy to use it properly within a song, and you tend to overuse it (like Tom Morello and Jack White do, IMO).

And this unit is expensive!!! A very expensive effect pedal...

Nevertheless I think I would buy it again because I'm beginning to use it more. However if you consider how difficult it is to control I'd probably have second thoughts...
