Re: Digitech Whammy in camparison to Proctavia/various ocatve effects?
I hate to resurrect a dead thread but I picked up a beat-up XP-100 Whammy-Wah on a whim after trading in an amplifier of mine at the local used guitar shop. The Wah's are actually pretty useful and with the "2 Octaves Up" setting, while it is a little slippery when you use the rocker pedal on up swing (all the way up, which may need to be fixed by calibrating it), I could coax full on Morello tones from "Killing in the Name", "Guerilla Radio", and "Like A Stone".
The other cool thing is that you can combine the harmonizer, Whammy, the Wah, and this weird effect whammy-wahish effect called "Brass Attack" and store it in one of the six preset user locations...it's pretty inventive because it saves you (me, in this case) from doing a crapload of tap-dancing. Amazingly there's also a built in tuner that's pretty spot on. The bad part, for me anyway, is that the inputs are right on top of the pedal rather than on the side. Input whoa's aside it is a pretty fun pedal that seems to extend far beyond it's own novelty value.
So yeah, britishgeetah, you may want to check it out. I picked mine up for about $90 which, it seems, is somewhat of a steal because they're going for about $149 on ebay.
