Old WH-1 vs. new Digitech Whammy

IVL is still around. They seem to be focused on the Karaoke industry.

 

 

GAS!

Go there and listen to "WH". I used the WH4 along with all of the glitches. I used 4th up and a 5th down setting .....not sure? It's a shitty recording, but you can hear it as an ambient type effect. I also used a shit ton of reverb and delay.

Yep, and they worked on the Helicon line for T.C Electronic as well.

FWIW, the POG does not have an expression pedal option. The HOG does though, as well as a many other things with a price adjusted for that.

 

 

thanks. i guess i could've looked it up, but i'm lazy. i don't even bother to hit the shift key!

 

is HOG made by EH? i'll go look it up.

My pleasure, and yep, it's an EH product:

I've GASed for it, but stumbled upon a deal for a POG.

 

The HOG definitely has more tricks up its sleeve though.

The WH-1 does track better/differently from the Reissue. Most notably on things like, hitting the three top strings open, and throwing them 2 octaves up, and then slowly brining them back to pitch (ala Morello).

 

The digital-ness you hear people talk about in regards to the Reissue is sort of this, digital "dingy-ness" as I call it. Its kind of like oscillations you'd expect in a Robot voice or something... Hard to explain in words, but very obvious when you have an original and reissue set up next to each other.

 

FWIW I own two WH-1's but I think the WH-4 work just as well.
