The whale calls get a little old hehe
Just a thought on another use for the whammy....
If you have a two channel amp or even a deluxe reverb with the channels "in phase" try running the whammy dry signal into the reverb side and the wet side into the non reverb channel. Control the amount via the volume control on channel one. You can get just the slightest bit of lower or upper octave and can get some great subtle grind going or in some cases with using a delay the same way you cant get a synth type sound blended in. I do this on a little tweed amp and just dial in the amount I want via the volume control and it sounds really great. It's like having a mix knob on the whammy which would have been a really great feature. I wish all pedals had a mix control. Sometimes you only want just a little but of something but without it taking over.

So you can control the "amount" of Whammy instead of the on-off it normally is? That's remarkable, i've gotten some offers but it's kind of worth more to me to keep it. Back to the stereo setup though, I've always been curious as to how clean Trey's Ocelot whale call signal is, and the funk sirens; does he do this? I also wish all pedals had a mix control, the thing that sets the older boomerangs apart from other loopers for me was the mix knob you could control with your feetz for the level, so good for jams and practicing jazz changes without having to bend over to adjust for dynamics- so cool!. Imagine if TS's or other drives could do that too? I'm sure theres a modification out there for delays and stuff though, JHS maybe?
