Okay I'll bite - BIGSBY Pedal

Floyds are more sensitive, with greater range and don't go out of tune. You can do subtle stuff with a floyd, but it requires a lighter touch. You can't do extreme with a bigsby, but it's great for subtle shimmery vibrato use.

I divebomb with my Bigsby all the time. Anything I can do with the Floyd or Kahler I can pull off with the Bigsby. I would say yes the Floyd is more sensitive, but Bigsby is not limited in function.

Are there different kinds of Bigsbys? The ones that I've played couldn't dive more than a step, maybe a step and a half down. Might have been a setup issue too.

There are a ton of different Bigsbys but they are all pretty much the same. I have a B5 on my Iceman and a B3 on my Les Paul. Once you spend some time with it you can pretty much get it to do whatever you want. Granted it is a bit more cumbersome and not as sensitive.
