Title: Anyone else got a Digitech Whammy II pedal (the red one)?
Post by: Walker done done on June 01, 2007, 12:19:06 PM
Because I bought one and find it rather cumbersome to have to \"reach down\" to turn the friggin' knob everytime I want to change the settings.  A real pain in the ass when in the middle of a jam or something.

This may be a naive question, but is there any easy way to alleviate this problem?  A-la a foot switch or something?

I know the model that Trey uses has a footswitch built in, so you don't have to \"reach down\" and turn the stupid knob, but those models are hard to find and expensive.

Thanks for the feedback.

I believe you have the Whammy 1 (red)... Trey plays the whammy 2 (black)

you are playing a re-issue whammy 4 most likely thier is a thing that  you  can get that they sell on ebay that will help you out. its about five dollars and it hooks on to the wheel that you have to twist with your fingers... never tried it, but i hear its sick

Yup, I went out and got it a few weeks back - it's called the \"Whammy Wheel\" and was about $12 w/ shipping, if I recall correctly.

Thing works pretty well.  It's nothing genius - just a piece of plastic cut into a circle shape with a donut hole in the middle and some clear rubber on the inside thread of that donut hole to help it to \"stick\" to the Whammy knob.  You could easily make one w/ the right stuff, but for $7 + shipping, what the hell.
