Use this pedal with a tube and It sounds amazing. It sounds too artificial with a solid state amp. The droptune function is my favorite.I wuse it to play Dream Theater and SLipknot! GREATTTTTT!!!!

The whammy part was a joke as was the rest of it. Changed the tone of my guitar using the drop tune side and the more steps I got away from natural the worse it got. Save your money, not worth it!!!

I bought this pedal for the left side. The harmony and wah effects are amazing. I also bought this item in restock, which was basically brand new and saved me 100 bucks! What really impressed me was the drop tune effects. I play a wide variety of tunings and with this pedal I really only use two guitars now. One in standard tuning, the other in drop D. I recommend this to any guitar player who really wants to try new tricks and make cool sounds. Fun to play covers of Rage Against the Machine with!

I've been playing guitar for 20 years and I'm a big fan of U2 and Van Halen. Unfortunately, they both play in E flat on almost all their songs. So I've either had 2 guitars in different tunings (since I love having a Floyd Rose) or tried other measures. I bought a new Tyler Variax which is okay but it's the same as a real pickup guitar. I've also tried the morpheus pedal which to me was a disaster. I just got the Whammy Pedal DT today and no warble sound or change in tone when using the detuner.

I love this pedal so much. It has replaced any need for any drop tuning, capos, whammy bars, harmonizers, chorus effects, 12 strings, and even basses.

The only thing I wish it has was an Auto-Return feature like the Cry Baby 95Q. It's a hassle when you just want to have a quick bend of a note and have to hit a switch next to the pedal before starting. You could say I could just keep it in the heel position, but when rocked back all the way it kills some of your low end and compresses your sound. You have to try it out yourself. I would just keep it on all the time if it weren't sucking your tone out. That would be solved by an Auto-Return feature because it would turn off once you let your foot off. That's one mod I would make, another having the Drop Tune/Capo on the left side of the pedal. My favorite crazy sound is going on the 2 octave up setting and bending natural harmonics while hitting the momentary switch on the DT side an octave down for some really crazy sounds when you pair it with fuzz/heavy distortion. However, I have to switch to my left foot on the expression pedal in order to do that, and personally, I would like to keep my right foot on the exp. at all times. I would make modifications, but otherwise, this is an amazing pedal. It's an instrument all on its own.

Its a great pedal in theory but it has its cons--
- it's a tone killer it wrecks your tone not to mention that it is NOT true bypass your signal will be dead if you unpluged the power source.
-it's big like really BIG the thing is huge it's like 3 wah pedals big so it takes up like 1/3 of my pedal board
- it doesnt like other power sources to much. some work fine on it but on my pedal board SKB-ps45 if use the standard pwer it wont work it'll light up but wont work you have to use the outlet and it power supply thats given to you.
-constant recalibrating its really anoying when u try to use a whammy in the middle of the song and it neded to be recalibrated dont get me wrong its never been on and decided to not work all of sudden but i turn it on and it'll need to be recalibrated.
Well not that im done bashing it does do what it says and pitch shifts and tracks very well and theres no latency with monentary switch and on low shifts the tone killer isn't as noticable
The features are great no real latency that i noticed and it has tons of features that do of neat things.
I have to recalibrate it all the time and that gets really annoying. and I've only had this thing for a couple months and the lights are going out on me half the time but not all of them just some of them and ramdomly at that some days its the oct up light other day its a harmony light and somtimes they all work. As much as i complain these are slightly smaller issues and i dont think the pedal itslef will break any time soon seeing as how tankish it is.
Its expensive really expensive it's my most expensive pedal that i own and thats saying something.

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 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.

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

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

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
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.
