Digitech whammy pedal for bass

#21
You could look on eBay for a used whammy IV. I used a whammy IV for years. They work pretty well for bass IMO. They aren't true bypass like the newer ones and that don't have all the settings of the bass whammy but they have a lot of them.

I've never tried one personally but boss makes a pitch shifter which is kinda thier take on the whammy. The m series pedals and the pod hd stuff by line 6 has pitch glide(whammy sim) which i have used and has its ups and downs. The ups being you can do whammy shifts to whatever you want but the downside for me was the tracking didn't seem as good with bass

I doubt it. You're talking about using the expression pedal to control the BW's treadle, right? Using a MIDI compatible controller to scroll through presets is no problem, but I've never hear of anyone using an expression pedal that way.

That's what I figured. You could contact MoltenVoltage and see if they could do something that might work since they're pretty good with third-party Whammy midi controllers, but other than that you might have to have the BW off the rack.

That depends on what you are trying to GET out of your lessons and from whom lol

If I sat you down with Michael Manring or Anthony Wellington, I'm PRETTY sure you could learn a thing or two from those cats. I'm not saying you have to pursue lessons or you'll crash and burn, just make sure that you keep an open mind and sense of humility when it comes to learning/growing with the instrument. There's always someone better around the corner, best to learn from them and not get shown up by them :cool:

That's true, I just personally love the satisfaction I get from learning something myself :)
