Anyone here use the Digitech Whammy pedal? I'm talking about the WH-4, the newest one that you can buy. I bought mine a while ago, and really didn't use it much, but I've been using it a lot. The harmonizer sounds a lot better when I have my DS-1 and then the WH-4, but I get a volume drop and some added bass if I use the whammy features (oct. up). I have no problem if the WH-4 is before the DS-1, but the harmonies sound a lot different than after the DS-1. I wrote to Digitech and they just said, "you are overdriving the input, put the Wh-4 first in your chain..." They weren't much help on how I could fix the problem, because I want the whammy after my DS-1, not before it, because I mainly use the harmonizer and only the 1 octave up, but the volume drop when I use the 1 octave up is very noticeable and too much of a drop. Anyone here have that problem or know what I can do? I'm open to any suggestions. I know Satch uses the WH-1 and has it after his DS-1 and it works fine, but there are differences in the original whammy and the reissues. If anyone has any ideas or knows what to do, please let me know.

Hey Joe how is it going well I hope.Well I was thinking if you do really read these emails I have seen you 3 time's now all in Austin Texas all excellant show's but if you play there in 2005 here is a good place to play it is called The Backyard in the Texas hill country I seen the Allman Brother's there and it is so cool there it is a outdoor concert venue and at night when the star's are out then the band playing at night it is the coolest venue you have seen. Anyways just a idea take it easy and keep up the inspiration. Cactus Tex Arnulfo Salinas

Stevee T ooooooooh I see :-) Well, I discovered some chopsticks in my desk draw which I "borrowed" from a chinese restaurant over a year ago, I was on MSN messenger at the time (as I am most of the time) and I happened to tell my friend about finding them. He suggested I play my guitar with them and there the track was born...coming up next will be my track using the egg whisk :-)
Take care, keep it crazy

civgeek: Yes, they did a really good job on that DVD package. Very well put together....can't wait for the next volume, which should include the Live After Death video amongst others.
Not sure if you're a Dream Theater fan or not, but I also highly recommend their Live at Budakon DVD. And I'm hoping that The Reel Satriani will be made available on DVD one of these days.
*hint, hint, hint* ;-)
Steve T: I really like the website. What'd you use effects wise along with the volume swells?

Steven Wilde, good to see your message bro. You're welcome dude, and you know your t2j family are always here man. I don't know how long it takes before your bad periods of seizures subside, but I really hope you're feeling better today, and if you're not, I hope you'll feel better soon! take it easy hombre!
DCK, sorry about all the questions earlier, but you can ignore them! hehe, I did a bit of my own research, found the calling code (I didn't realise that it's 001 like the US!) and called Broadway Pawn a little while ago. They have put the yamaha on one side for me and will contact me, probably monday, about the details they need! Excellent!
Delfino, I'd guess the whisk makes a similar noise to the motor in a drill?! I've not tried the whisk, but have used a drill before (with a plectrum drill-bit I made) and it worked wondefully....I can imagine the kinda noise you're getting! Enjoy!
