another digitech whammy question

Sign in to disble this ad
i want to get some kind of whammy for my bass in the mere future,and i hope i can find a digitech bass whammy eventually.but when i was last at GC,i noticed they had a regular digitech whammy pedal which led other things to cross my mind.have you ever used one on your bass??? also,do you think that it would be much different than the bass whammy??

Bravo Dave for saving him from not a bike death but an anti search one!

Just to add something to that very useful thread, due to a recent bout of insanity i currently have both an xp-100 and a whammy-4 on my board, there are a few differences especially on bass, like that thread said, the wh-4 tracks slightly better on the low notes, but to be honest i never use it that low so it's not an issue. The tracking is slightly different, the xp-100 is a little more watery, less focused, but fuller (if that makes any sense) than the wh-4. The xp-100 also has more modes if you didn't know, it has wah's as well, but they''re pretty much unusable on bass, except for the envelope filter patch which i use all the time set heel down for a perfect boomy thump.

The xp-100 also has the 5'th up/octave up harmony that the bass-whammy has but the wh-4 doesn't, which justin chancellor of tool uses for the song disposition, which is a big selling point for some people.

I do prefer the construction of the wh-4 though, it feels a lot more solid, the expression pedal on the xp-100 feels a little flismy, but it's held up so far, also on the xp-100 you can adjust the modes with a footswitch, and it has user presets, on the wh-4 you have to turn the knob to change modes.

Eventually I decided to keep the xp-100 because I couldn't live without the envelope filter patch and the sound is more suited to my noise/experimental sound, but if i could afford it i'd keep both
