Whammy Pedal Question
posted on: 5/1/2003 11:04:10 PM

I'm looking to buy a Whammy pedal in order to play like Tom.
My local guitar store sells brand new ones for $400...is this worth it or should I buy one 2nd hand on eBay or something...

Do I need an original or will new ones make the same sounds as Tom's?

Buying a whammy pedal won't make you play like Tom.

Anyways.. Uh, don't buy a new one. I'd get a 2nd hand reissue, just because the original is grotesquely expensive.

They will sound pretty much the same.

I dunno exactly what kind of Whammy you are looking at...but I thought Tom used the Digitech (original) Whammy. The new versions of them I've found on the internet for like 200 BRAND NEW...my suggestion is to look around on the net and not those too-often-money-hungry music stores. And yea, your other reply post says that getting Tom's pedal won't make you Tom...but who wants to try being someone that's a one of a kind? Don't let that discourage you from purchasing it b/c I look at it like...if it's good enough for Tom then it's good enough for me...why try something else that could be junk just b/c you can say "Well, I'm trying not to be just like Tom"

Was that directed at me? (My actual name is Chris) and if so, how do you know me? Haha.

Anyways, I wasn't saying don't buy the pedal, Just some people have a mindset that if they have all the toys it will somehow make them a better guitarist. But even with the most amazing gear, if you suck at playing the instrument, you will sound bad.

That was actually my first post on this forum...before i knew there was a spiral out guy on here....I'm quite the tool junkie so instead of sayin "peace" or "cheers" I tend to say "spiral out" or some other tool reference. Sorry dude...as for the equipment thing...it's all a matter of opinion. My reasons for going for gear like the actual artists is just to assure a sense of security in buying something..but it's not like buying "the shoes" so i could be LIKE MIKE! heh heh

Tool does rock pretty hard, also I see what you mean about the gear as well.

I wish I was LIKE MIKE! haha
