Members atarilovesyou Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 ..is, according to Digitech advertising, "...activated by a sturdy footswitch that takes you in and out of a TRUE BYPASS." ...why is it I read elsewhere that the Whammy reissue isn't true bypass? I can't see Digitech making such a bold lie, wouldn't do much for credibility. So who's right? ...by the way, this is the Whammy I'm talking about: http://www.digitech.com/ftp_mirror/PDFs/Catalogs%20CutSheets/WhammyBrochure.pdf ...it doesn't really say here that it's the WH-4, but I'm assuming so. Anybody wanna comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fourth Floor Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 That's the Whammy 4. Definitely NOT true bypass. What is "a" true bypass? Some kind of true bypass? Doug's Thang might pop in and put us all straight. Where is that advertising? That seems to be the misleading part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members atarilovesyou Posted May 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 ....check the second page of that flyer, lower left picture of the switch...it indicates it takes it "in and out of true bypass". If that's NOT the case then Digitech are false and slimey. I've been told by a dealer that, yes, these are true bypass. I'm not sure who to trust on this anymore!... I haven't gotten an email back from Digitech when I inquired last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members puddinstone Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 From experince I can tell you it's not true bypass. Mine sucks more then a boss pedal. I haven't been useing it for that exact reason. I'm am about to start putting it in a loooper so it's useable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members atarilovesyou Posted May 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 ...ok, another question....was the first gen Whammy true bypass?....also, was it analog?...Now I hear the Whammy 4 is digital while the first was analog...is that true? Damn, the SECRETS..ahaha! Maybe Dr Phil can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members puddinstone Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 the whammy is a digital effect. Any way you do it it's going to be digital. The only "analog whammy" you are going to get is a whammy bar . That and some delay pitch shifting or something. The first gen are said to sound better and perhaps..more "analog" but are still digital. I'm sure there are threads on this...do a search....

Maybe Dr Phil can help. The first gen wasn't analog or true bypass. It had different software that supposedly tracks a bit better but still digital all the way. Pitch shifting is meant to sound a bit digital...i'm cool with digital shifting. Octave effects and stuff are kinda a different story but when you're doing something as odd as shifting, then digital is an advantage not an obstacle.
