Which Whammy pedal

[Matt08642]

Hey steve, just wondering... Which whammy pedal do you use (in bittersweet feast for example)?

Whammy I
Whammy II
XP-100 Whammy/Wah
Whammy IV

I really wanna learn the solo.

Makes no difference which one he used really ....

Hes just using the Octave up feature thatrs available in all versions of it.

Actually, each whammy sounds pretty different. The XP100 being the crappiest of the 4.

From best to worst it's generally regarded as:
Whammy I
Whammy II
Whammy IV
XP-100 Whammy/Wah

Hey Matt08642,
You know, I have never heard that one or the other Whammy is better than the other, but what I can tell you is, I got the "re-issue" from Digitech, early 2004, I believe, and when I wrote the music for Bittersweet Feast, that solo was what I heard almost immediately. As Guru states, it is the one octave up feature on the Whammy, a hell of a lot of fun to play, and I'm just riffing out on a B Phrygian Dominant scale line, that's more or less diagonal in the approach.
Give a me a bit to get together my TAB program, and I'll get a resonable example on my site here before too long! Or better yet, if you have a Whammy of any_ kind, set it to 1 octave, and record it/ video it, and put it up here! A little challenge for you!

 

[Matt08642]

Well, as soon as I can get a tab for the solo, I'll try my best! I wish Guitar world let the "merchants of menace" column go for longer. It was my favorite!
