Whammy V?!

[fulltone1989]

Allegedly there's a new Whammy in the works, shares some of the II's modes and is TB w/ DC power.

That looks interesting. Ill have to see what becomes of it here in the next few weeks or so. Id love to be able to switch between presets like the Whammy II but with True Bypass.

Thanks T!

Has anybody tried the morpheus bomber yet? I'm curious about that pedal. If the whammy V sounds anything like the whammy IV, I am not one bit interested. That's why I haven't tried the whammy DT yet.

I gave it a try in our local guitar store and the Tracking is unreal. I almost bought it but i kinda like the odd tracking on the Whammy so ididnt get it.

This is my only gripe, but I guess a bigger knob or spindle thing you adjust with your toe solves that issue as well.

Sour- I've heard the DT is much better that the IV, and the V has the option of getting glitchy like the older units.

Looks totally cool for not a terrible price!  I'll have to try it out at some point

Couldn't agree more.  And the fact that this Whammy V is designed like the IV with no real way to toggle between the different settings except bending over to turn that tiny knob makes it a bust for me.  I won't be buying it.

If I can get it at a good price I'll pick it up. I can just put one of those spindle things on the top of the knob so I can move it with my foot.

Spindle things like a kickdisk? I have a couple on my board usually, pretty helpful.

Yes those guys!

Yep! Sam's a good guy (who builds the kickdisk), had a few extensive email convo's with him (saying he should get a couple pedal builders to ship with his product, maybe $5 option). He convinced me to try it and it is pretty easy to use - if you can do a volume pedal, you can probably manage a kickdisk IMO. I sometimes use it for delay level and modulation speed, also thought about using on a gain knob.

I'd be interested in trying it on a delay knob to make a TT espue option on my Flashback.

Whammy V has an anticipated shipping date of 6/15 for Musician's Friend. Hopefully the GC near me will have some to try out.
