Nice video. I have the old black Whammy II pedal and Ive also had the XP-100 Whammy/Wah. Have you tried any more versions than the one you have? They all sound a bit different.
@@andrewsiemon Yeah the original WH-1 and the Whammy II both have the same chip inside them built by a company called IVL. None of the later models I tried sound as good(not saying they suck but they really dont sound the same). The Whammy II has the same chip but for some stupid reason has an added input vol knob which makes it not work as good as the WH-1. I actually did have an original WH-1 for a while but it had some sort of unfixable issue and it crapped out after like 5 min of being plugged in. I told the guy who bought it off me about it but he wanted it anyway. You should keep your eyes out for an XP-100. To my ears it sounds a lot better than the Whammy 4 and its probably not gonna be super expensive if you come across one.
@@andrewsiemon I used to have a small collection of pedals with about 60 or 70 ones mostly from the 70s 80s and 90s. I sold off most of it about 10 years ago but kept the Whammy II and a few other favourites including a Boss Hyper Fuzz and a semi-broken PS-3 Pitch Shifter/Delay.

Wow thats sick. That old thing must be a collector’s item. And nah, but I would love to have each one.
