DigiTech Whammy DT Drop Tune Guitar Effects Pedal  

The features are great ... If they worked better.

I bought 2 units. The first one had a broken on/off pot on the whammy side. The second had a bad momentary pot.

This price is crazy for something that is so eaten down.

I always wanted a whammy pedal and I use a Morpheus Drop Tune pedal for down tuning songs. I figured the DT was the answer to my prayers and would clean up my pedal board. WRONG!!!

After a few bad units, I finally got a unit that work properly. I was very disappointed in the latency of the DropTune portion of the pedal. The Morpheus does drop tuning 100x better with almost no latency.  The whammy side is what it is. A cool effect for when it's needed but not something I would use too much. After selling my Morpheus pedal to buy the whammy DT, I was very dissapointed in the whammy. I returned it and rebought a Morpheus. If a whammy is what you want.. Buy the regular version of the whammy. If you want a drop tune pedal, buy a Morpheus DropTune. TRUST ME!! a

The feature set is like a dream on paper. I got this because I thought morpheus was a ripoff not putting both capo and droptune in the same unit- then here comes this one with everything! I thought they would surely put morpheus out of business... but they won't. Read on.

built sturdy and I never had any of the "calibration" issues I've heard of with the regular whammy models past. Quality of construction: excellent.

Quality of sound: not so great.  No matter what you do with fast chips, there will always be a latency effect with this type of gizmo. However, the TONE- the tone is weakened, and the volume and sustain both drop noticeably to varying degrees, depending on how far you are bending the original note or notes. I wanted this for mainly for a virtual capo, but using a regular capo is easier than dealing with its technical and power limitations. Like so many digitech products, this thing takes 1300 miliamps of power- that is the entire amount of the highest power supplies. It basically needs its own outlet and wallwort, and the digitech wallwort is kind of underbuilt for the road. I already use (and swear by) the digitech vocalist live IV, and I just don't have anymore outlets to spare. C'mon, digitech- can't you make something with a little less power draw, like Boss does?

As for the harmonizer features- not intelligent, so kinda gimmicky there. In fact, this whole thing is kinda gimmicky, and the huge decrease in sound quallity made it not worth it for me.

Though I think this pedal needs serious upgrades in sound and power technology, I do admire digitech for making some stuff in America.

This thing has so many features that I dont know if I will ever get an application to use them all.

Just got it, but it's got a sturdy metal housing and the gears seem to be built well

Little pricey, but you do get a lot

I bought this pedal because as a hard rock/metal guitarist, I was always having to keep so many guitars in so many different tunings in order to play all my favorite songs. I knew about the Morpheus drop tune, but had read of the many problems. Once I heard of this, I purchased it immediately. Now, I can keep all my guitars in standard but play in any tuning I want. This alleviates having to keep guitars in a low tuning, where they only get used for a song or two.  Now all my guitars are available for any set I want to play! The other day I sat down and, with one guitar, play 10 different songs with 5 different tunings, without having to switch guitars at all. Made it much more enjoyable! I primarily use the dt side, but the whammy is a cool addition. I especially like the dive bomb and octave functions. Just a warning though, I did notice a tad bit of latency when playing clean, but it was very minimal. To put it simply, it wasn't bad enough for me to go back to all those guitars in all those tunings /) Hope this helps any potential buyers!

This is by far the best whammy pedal yet. Way better than the Whammy 4. I never have to recalibrate the whammy DT and it is built like a tank. I also love the seperate drop tune feature that allows you to drop tune your guitar and use the whammy at the same time. Best pedal in my chain!

Built like a tank and never gives me any problems.

Cost more than the Whammy 4 but it is a much nicer pedal and very durable. It is worth paying the extra $$$

This pedal is great. It has enough features to always keep your creative juices flowing.

All this  stuff in one pedal. Tones of options

Sound quality is a 3. Not true bypass first of if you pull the power cord your single is dead. Second it colored my sound and I could tell some of the distortion was lost as the single tone was changed. Don't get me wrong the drop tune pedal by Morpheus is not rue by bass either.

By the Morpheus and a true bypass pedal to switch it in and out of your pedal single path. It sounds better. But if ou need the features of the bomber and the drop tune the digitech is a good pedal, but it is very large and takes a huge foot print on your pedal board
