I recently dumped my Wah and Whammy II for a pair of Digitech-XP100 Whammy/Wahs. I put them in a bypass loop and it sounds great.  I got tired of not being able to have a fixed wah sound without putting my foot on the pedal and the pedal would move when i removed my foot so i had to get something for that. I love The XP-100

I have the whammy II but if anything I'm guilty of underusing it, and I like it that way.  I sometimes will use the various octave settings, especially the one where it doubles an octave lower or higher than the note.  And I'll use it if we get into a really psychedelic and energetic jam and play with harmonies usually on 4ths and 5ths, or 5ths and 6ths, kinda like Trey would do in some jams in '97 and '98 (like the jam out of Johnny B Goode from 11/17/97).
Guitars: Fender Clapton Strat, Ibanez AS80, Ibanez AF75, Malden Holly Keyser [SD Jazz (neck), SD '59 (bridge)], Carlo Robelli USH-500HB, Martin DC-1E ('98), and a Peavey Grind 5-string bass.

Effects in chain: Whammy II (dry out to Korg Tuner), RMC6, TS-9 ('82), TS-808 ('81), Ross Compressor, Fulltone SupaTrem, Fulltone DejaVibe2, TC Elec Nova Repeater, Ibanez Digital Modulation Delay III (DML20), Boomerang+, Alesis Microverb I, H&K Rotosphere MkII --> amps.

I dumped my whammy a few months ago, along with a few other things.  Downsized quite a bit actually, like poster, focusing more on playing the instrument than the all the different sounds.  Huge difference in what I have to lug around as well.

Right on poster,

I am actually using a pedal train jr. right now, and it's the perfect size for me.  Doesn't make my shoulder ache to carry it into a venue, lol.  A big determining factor to my downsize was not only did I want to go more simplistic, but I was trying to fund my AO guitar that is on the way.  Which, by the way, I can't wait for, I'm so excited.  I just found myself not using my rang and whammy, so I just decided that I didn't need all that stuff.  My rule is that if I'm struggling and trying to force myself to find a way to use a piece of gear, I don't need it.

The nice thing about selling that kind of gear is if you bought it used, you can still get back what you paid for it and if you ever find yourself wanting one again, you'll pay about the same price you paid before.  They're always on Ebay and the selling prices are always about the same, unless you either get really lucky or are really bidding hard against someone else.

My whammy dumped me :'(  Crapped out on me a couple of months ago and it sucks because I LOVE my whammy.  Hopefully I'll be able to get a new one here soon
