El Pedal Whammy de Digitech es de los mas cotizados entre los guitarristas, tiene un sonido único, tanto que he tratado  varias veces de igualarlo con la GT8 sin lograr el mismo resultado.

En i heart guitar han hecho una excelente recopilacion de los mejores momentos del Whammy

Steve Vai – Touching Tongues (Sex & Religion)
Vai combines a whammy pedal and delay to create complex harmonies and countermelodies in the chorus of this track from 1993’s Sex & Religion album. Very musical, very creative and very cool.

Living Colour – Wall (Stain)
With a delay effect keeping the groove going, bass player Doug Wimbish picks out certain notes to emphasise with the Whammy pedal before shifting the whole friggin’ riff up an octave over the course of the final bar of the intro. Awesome.

Pantera – Becoming (Far Beyond Driven)
Dimebag stomps on the Whammy pedal on the second beat of each bar of this killer riff. Live he liked to rock out without having to worry about pedals, so his tech did all Dime’s Whammy squealing for him.

Audioslave – Like A Stone (Audioslave)
Tom Morello uses the Whammy Pedal almost like Eddie Van Halen sometimes does with the whammy bar, using it to slide into each note from below. Awesome.

Pink Floyd – Marooned (The Division Bell)
The Whammy Pedal usage in this song is pretty subtle on first listen. David Gilmour uses it to stretch bends out over an octave, but he blends it in with his regular playing style so seamlessly that you can be forgiven for not even noticing.

Joe Satriani – Cool #9 (Joe Satriani)
The Whammy Pedal had been available for a while when Satch released this track on his low key, live-vibed self-titled album, and he’s used the pedal a lot since, but the open space provided by the vamp of this track leaves plenty of room to hear Joe’s intuitive Whammy Pedal technique in detail.

Coverdale/Page – Over Now (Coverdale/Page)
Jimmy Page uses the original WH1Whammy Pedal’s ‘Down 2nd’ mode to slide an A5 chord down to a D5. This setting is still present in the WH1, but these days they call it ‘Drop Tune.’

The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army (Elephant)
What sounds like a bass on this track is actually a Digitech Whammy Pedal with the pitch dropped way down below the basement. While Jack White loves his vintage analog gear, he’s obviously not shy about the occasional digital chip either.

Pero en esta recopilacion faltó uno de los mayores exponentes del Whammy de los últimos tiempos,  asi es, pueden tacharme de fan from hell pero el Sr Bellamy ha sido unos de los mejores representantes del Whammy el dia de hoy.

Muse – New Born (ver video)

Muse – Invinible  (ver video)

El Whammy casi siempre va de la mano con un buen delay, esto se usa mucho en canciones como sunburn o fury para generar atmosferas en el background, sin embargo en estas 2 canciones el whammy es predominante en ambos solos, aun asi Bellamy usa el Whammy bastante, tanto que, gracias a que puede ser controlado via midi,  implemento un control en alguas de sus guitarras, pueden ver un video aca

Pronto algunos tips para hacer unos buenos sonidos con el whammy, o en su defecto con algun pedal bend cmo el que traen las BOSS
