Sound quality is great. Perfect pitcheseven through switching octaves. Nice bass and treble sounds as well. It sounds unbelievable with some kind of distortion effect. I own this product and it has improved my playing ability

This product came with its own cable plug-in device, which makes this great so you dont have to use the 9 volt batteries. It does have a lot of features I do not use though on the left side. The octave changer on this product is spectacular.

Nice red and black finish on the pedal. Easy to use and it is durable.

Good and offordable.

Didn't even need to call the company. But if I did, I had a number where I could call.

I must have this to play my guitar now.

truly spectacular. i love the pitch shifts, there all so clean and smooth, my favorite is 2 octaves up, and it transitions through the note so smoothly, and that goes for octave up or down. the dive bomb effect is also really cool, it really is like pounding a floyd rose all the way down, which really suprised me how good it sounded. and the harmony settings are really excellent for what they are. regular harmonizers cost upwards of $1500 and more. you get an extremely functional harmonizer for a tenth of the price, and it sounds excellent. also the detune setting is so cool, on shallow it sound like a watery chorus, when its on deep, it a really cool funky sounding effect, almost like a rotary pedal. no matter what setting, this pedal sounds perfect.

tons of settings on this pedal. 2 octaves up 2 down dive bomb drop tune detune shallow and deep, and whole slew of harony settings. you get alot of stuff thats for sure.

for the beginners, it will take you an hour or so to get aclamated to the pedal, the haromony setting in particular will take some time, but have fun with it, you get so many cool sounds and noises. for expierienced players it will be a breeze to use. every setting is easy to navigate and the pedal as well is very very smooth, its not stiff and it dont stick at all.

this pedal would survive a nuclear attack.lol. seriously its so durable, i had the original since 1993, and ive played over 500 shows with it, had thrown, kicked, slammed into a wall, chucked down the stairs, and through all that, it still worked(please dont try any of those things though, it voids the warranty). what finally killed it was my friend left it out in the rain, and it never worked the same, it still worked mind you, it just wasnt as smooth. it finally died though about a month ago, 2 years after it was left out in the rain. i bought a b stock model and i swear it looked and sounded brand new to me, it was pristine. i was blown away, even the box looked new, and i saved $60. awesome

considering i bought a b stock model, which i truly believe its new, i got an incredible bargain. $60 off the base price for a pedal thats as good as new, how could you beat that.

simply put zzounds.com is the greatest music store ever. ive told all my musician friends about this amazing website and now they all agree, you guys and gals rock.

this pedal is sexy, ferrari red, whammy pinstriping. its so cool to look at, and i would love to own a car in the pedals color. it really is hot looking for a foot pedal.

my personal style is metal, but i play anything from classical to hip hop

i use it for 6 string and 12 string. you can use it on a guitar with a whammy,beat the crap out of it:and your guitar is still in tune

well built should be able to stand up to rock musicians normal abuse.

i did have problems calibrating ,but if you let it warm up it will take.

good for the road. solid. you could jump on it and it will hold up.

never had to use it

i have it.it helps me to get what i hear in my head out to the people.

This pedal is pretty cool. There are just a ton of sounds you can get from it. However the dive bomb does not sound anything like the real thing, on my amp anyway. The harmonies and drop tune are great. As with a lot of pedals, it does take some amp tweaking to get the best sound out of each affect. You can't just use one setting for all the effects. Again, this is with my amp (Egnater Renegade).

It comes with it's own adapter. It has midi capabilities. I have not used this yet, but I definitely will.

The pedal itself is very easy to use, but getting each effect to sound good from the amp and with different guitars does take some time. I am making a cheat sheet, because my memory just isn't good enough to remeber all the settings for each effect. This may be different for other amps. I am not complaining though, the end result is worth the time.

Built like an American tank. Looks cool on the board. I bought the B stock and the only thing I can find wrong is the effects knob is off center when you turn it. Does not affect the use at all. I don't believe a backup would be needed.

It is a bit pricey compared with other pedals and effects. I am glad I saved with the B stock. Be sure you know what this pedal does before you buy it. I suggest going to the store and trying it out first. The sounds it makes are what I expected, but how the pedal itself works is different than I thought. I think it is one of those "love it or hate it" kind of things.

Have not had to deal with them, so they get the benifit of doubt.

I could live without it, unlike my crybaby, but it is fun and I think I can make it work in a lot of music. I would deffinitely want it in a single guitar cover band. It does look very cool and I will probably like it more the longer I have it.

This is a goofy pedal, definately not one to go about abusing and over using in songs, certain songs have callings for it because its such a unique pedal.

This pedal has like 16 different presets so it has more than enough effects to keep you busy.

It takes a while to get it down to the t. Most people think it works like a wah wah pedal when in turn it is almost exactly opposite of that. Its a very diverse and unique pedal.

Durable as one can be, and heavy too. Man, it added a lot of weight to the ol pedal board.

Its a pricey pedal, very much so pricey, but once i get everything down it'll probably be well worth it

Havent had to use em

I convinced myself to wait, and then 3 days later i went and bought it. Is than an addiction or what.

Power adapter included. Features harmonizer that isn't very useful except for the octaves up and down and the fifths up. Divebomb and detune settings are great.

plug it in, pick which effect you want and press the pedal down.

seems sturdy. all metal.

For the amount it does, it's a decent price. It does seem, however, that once the initial coding or wiring is done for one effect, the others would be easy to make.

Would replace if broken, would not substitute.

the produced sound was great!!!!!! the way i used to it on my playing its really big help to make impresive sound.

the most useful is the whmmy/dive bomb.

the finished product is awesome..........

I love it. The only problem is that I get crappier sound when I pitch more than one or two strings at the same time. But to play fast riffs on two strings with the octave pitch on automatically boosts the riff coolness.

I give it a 10 because they threw in the chorus functions as well. Cant do much with those functions, no knobs to turn, just one sound, except for the pedal. But it was nice of Digitech to throw in something extra. The ease of pitching excatly what you want with the expression pedal is woth mentioning. It`s very easy to pitch around with the expression pedal, and if you`ve set it to one octave up it lands exactly on the octave when you press it all the way back. I was impressed with that straight away when I got it, though you should expect it to be this good when it has the price tag it has.

Indestruckable. I dont worry about breaking it anymore, because if it was breakable it would have been broken by now.

If a multieffect pedal/workstation like GNX4 has an equally good Whammy function I would rather recommend a multieffect one. But for me and my needs, this is the effect I use the most, only second to distortion.

no problem with nothing. When the product is so good you dont need support I give it a 10.

It has good sex appeal, but it wuold have been much sexier if they removed the knob and put in a button for each effect instead. Then the switching would be much easier, since there are so few effects anyway.

Yeah, it's good, but the older model is better (the black Digitech Whammy II). With that one you have the ability to store two different presets of your choice and bounce back and forth from one to the other instantaneously.

I've read reviews and heard some people complain it sounds digital. I think it sounds just great. With 16 different presets, you're bound to find at least a few that you can use regularly and enjoy! My personal favorites are the 2 Octaves Up, 1 Octave Down, 4th down 3rd down and 1 Octave up. The "Dive Bomb" which is a new feature in the WH-4 is ok, but it's so low you can barely hear it with the pedal depressed. All in all, I get the sounds I want, when I want and however I want. I have a Dunlop GCB-95F crybaby, a Boss SD-1 and a Line 6 Spider III, and I'm 100% pleased with the sound I can get!!!

Free power supply! I'm glad I don't have to use batteries for this pedal because I'd go through quite a few!! The bright LEDs are nice, since I can easily read whether the effect is on or not and what effect is selected. It has MIDI control, but I don't use MIDI so I don't worry about that feature. Probably if I start gigging it will be useful, maybe-maybe not. But it's there, if you're into using that kind of hardware!

The manual is clear and informative, but they can't teach you how to rock a pedal back and forth. The reason I give it an 8 is because it's a little awkward to get used to. Some people say "It's just like a wah-wah." I have a Crybaby myself and it's nothing like it. There's a big difference, but the learning curve isn't that hard to overcome. After 10 or 15 minutes, you'll be an expert and wailing on this thing like Tom Morello!

Just about everything on this pedal is metal. It feels like it has a pretty solid construction, but I wouldn't go dropping it down any stairs. Just treat it carefully like you would any other expensive pedal and it should last you a while. Look at Tom Morello, he's still got his from the 80's!! Although, this is the first time I've bought a Digitech product, so I don't know how truly durable they are, but it seems like it could take a beating.

Don't get me wrong here, this pedal is amazing. But $200 is a little steep. It's a great pedal with effects like no other, but I'm always apprehensive with it because it's $200 and I'd probably be upset if it broke and my money was wasted. I'm pretty sure Digitech has a warranty though. I guess you really do get exactly what you paid for: a full 200 dollars worth of effects.

Haven't needed any, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here, just for making such an awesome pedal!!!

I like the Ferrari Red color. It looks really sweet and the LEDs do a good job of lighting up a dark stage area. This is definitely one sexy pedal!

can get real cool sounds with it, the harmonic effects are cool can make the sound get realy evil if u use the 1 octave down harmonic

it's got many effects

just pick effect and push it down

mine peeps a bit when u push it down/up but it can be fixed real easy by greasing it up a bit, the overal thing is pretty indestructable.

pricey but worth it, it's unique

dont need

cool look

This pedal is very sensitive, every step you make totally scream to the very end of the pitch. One of the most enjoyable pedal to play in my whole set-up. Digitech did really a good job for this one.

You can use this one as a pitch shifter and a octave and most of all serve as your booster when you make any solos.

The pad crank a little bit it make sound like a nails on the chalk board, but its only a minor. I own a digietch GNX-3, I bought it as a blem until now it work just fine only some minor problems. Digitech really makes good product, second to Boss interms of quality in my own opinion.

For its amazing sound I would say $200 is worth for what I pay, with a free adapter what else you can say? some pedal you must buy an adapter extra charge.

Never done yet..

The wiked red machine is sexy..I'm a big Tom Morello fan. When I saw him live on stage before, I was totally amazed by his amzing skills. His the wizard of guitar sound and effects. This is his sidekick from rage to audioslave make it yours too and you'll not regret.

rage meets sabbath

sounds amazing... especially when matt bellamy uses it for his new born solos.

great range of effects and sounds.

great durability... my frend proved that with his stairs...

its great value, and worth every penny he paid for it.

im puttin 5 cos i have no idea. never needed any.

im going out to buy one now....

THis is one of the greatest pedals i have ever heard in my life. Tom Morello uses this pedal in many of his songs while he was in Rage Against THe Machine (THe greatest band ever, if i might say so myself.) Also, he uses it in some songs in Audioslave. THe dive bombs and the tone changes this pedal can do is sweet. I am going to buy one soon.

the different effects are insane. Some pedals have effects that sound coool but they dont have a use very much. THis pedal can be used in many ways. SICK!!!

too lazy to write more. just look at the ratings
