Anyone using a whammy pedal? How do you use it?

[VergDan]

I bought one because Buckethead has one, and I'm having a rather tough time trying to solo with it.
Any suggestions? How do you use it?

A beutifull and simple melody to play with a Whammy is "Marooned"by Pink Floyd), you will find plenty of tutorials in Youtube, have fun!

Personally, I was really impressed with John Scofield using one to get a chorus effect when I saw him live. One of my favorite things to do with one was to get a pedal steel thing going using the ^2nd/^3rd setting.

Dudes of Korn use it nicely. They have some eerie melodies. Maybe you could get some ideas off of them too.

Dimebag was the master of the Whammy check out some of his Damageplan stuff

I'm not creative enough, so I ape Morello, Gilmour, Satch and Dime.

Sometimes I'll pair it with heavy distortion, envelope filter or Phaser and delay to try to emulate a moog analog synth.
