If you're looking for an original, good luck and I hope you've got 400 bucks lying around.

They're definately really sweet pedals though, I've never heard anything bad about them. I also don't know if the reissues measure up to the original, but at least you can find those.

There's one on ebay right now:

Item #: 7354457234

Damn, there's actually several.

One is already up to $455 bucks!
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Granted it looks dead mint and has the box and all materials, but thats pretty damn expensive, and there's 3 days left to go on it.

I got the Whammy 4 reissue off of a fellow HC forumite, and it's sweet. Took a little getting used to, but I'm definitely having fun with it. The only downside (and this is a minor one) is that it takes AC instead of DC, so you have to use their adapter. Good luck in your search!

I picked up a reissue for $120 and I really like it. It cetainly is fun to play with. I'd say to get a reissue for cheap and if you really like it then think about getting the original. 400 bones is a lot to pay for a pedal.

I have a few friends who have owned the WH-1... It is the best of the bunch... but the other models capture 99% of the tone. The Whammy IV is good, also the Whammy II.

FYI: Jack White uses the whammy IV... Not that he is the best whammy guitarist.. but you have to figure that he could own any pedal on the planet if he wanted it.

I have the new one. I use it when I get geetard fantasies during my bass solos. The octaver and the chorus work great. When in harmony mode I run separate dry and wet channels.

i have had a couple students who picked up the w4 new....nothing but trouble.

it is prone to having calibration issues, and even after sending it back 3x, it was still broken.

i would aim for a whammy2.
