«  Not up to the legend. To select only if you can get past its flaws! »

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.
