Not that that's saying much .

I was just fiddling around with a whammy pedal and a stereo delay when I was suddenly hit with an Idea. I knew that somebody else had probably already thought of this, but I didn't care; I hadn't heard of anybody else doing it, so (from my perspectave) it was my Idea. I quickly unplugged my guitar and got to work.

As some of you may already know, when you plug a whammy pedal into itself, it starts feeding back. By "plug into itself" I mean plugging a cable from the output to the input; the dry output goes to the amp. I don't know how it works this way, but it does. Some strange noises come out of it, mostly under the two "detune" settings. So I had an Idea (yes, with a capitol "I") to put an self-oscillating (sp?) delay through a whammy pedal that was plugged into itself .

The cables go like this:
from the whammy dry output -> amp.
from the whammy wet output -> input of stereo delay (my stereo delay has only 1 input).
from the stereo delay's first output -> another amp.
from the stereo delay's second output -> whammy input.

Turn the delay on so that it starts to self-oscillate, then turn on the whammy (my favorite functions for this are "divebomb" and "drop tune") and have fun! I doubt I'll ever find a practical purpose for it, but maybe one of you will.

And (just out of curiosity) has this been thought of/posted before?

Does feeding back a Floyd Rose equipped guitar through a delay pedal while standing on the wang bar and hitting the strings count?

The post has been edited for your pleasure . Hopefully it makes more sense now; I was kind of excited when I posted it (no smartass comments here, please).

No. Not unless you really, really want it to.

What you have done is create a feedback loop within ther whammy itself then added a Dleay pedal into the loop to further add to the maddness.

Nice little trick

I know.
Do you happen to know why the whammy feeds back into itself?

Because you connected the output to the input!

The only "scientific why" to this question is that when plugging the input into the output, you're creating some sort of latency with some sort of gain or compensation in the circuit (probably a buffer) to create an audible tone. This is a super super old trick...

Me and a mate did this using my whammy and DD20! we had insane fun for about an hour! the harmony settings just make it sound insane! also if you use the twist mode on the DD20 it really f***s it up!!!

there is a practical use for this.....to anoy your neighbours!!!!

Exactly. Try different cables at different lengths and whatnot, and the pitch should change slightly. Adding other components similarly will play with the pitch. The delay twist is new to me, though. I might try that.
