My danecho is really nice but it cant self-osc.... and i want to replace the Jackhammer with a Keeley Rat and i really want a whammy so im really blank here...

I have no clue what you need or what your tastes are (well, a little, but not very well). Personally, I don't like Rats, and ideally, I'd like both the Whammy reissue and Deluxe Memory Man in my setup, so I don't know what to say. Just take your time deciding and have fun!

Or, you could buy a Tech 21 SansAmp Classic with the money and sent it to me. I'd cover shipping charges and send you naked pictures of myself.

hahahahah! Now that's how you motivate people!

Seriously though, the whammy would be a good choice. It would provide you with hours upon hours of fun and keep you motivated to play all day!

Get a different analog delay and the whammy. there are pile of alternatives to the memory man, most of which have a better bypass.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...category=41415

these sound great, self oscillate and go for $45-50 bucks. And have more of a transparent bypass then a memory man.


Just my 2 cents

well it depends on what you prefer... i mean, the whammy would be a totally new flavour while a dist and a delay would be upgrades. so, if you really like whammy and don't hate your jackhammr and dano, you should buy the whammy, if you don't like your dano and/or marshall you should consider the rat and/or the ehx.

sorry to sound like a moron, but what exactly does the memory man do?? im sure its pretty great whatever it is. ive been looking at those digitech whammys and they look nice. not to mention omar from ATDI used them on some great stuff.

you obviously dig radiohead therefore the whammy seems logical to me. i just sold mine recently and if i had known you were looking i'd have sold you mine. its a great pedal and very different. i turned quite a few heads using that thing, it just took up too much room on my pedalboard. i also used the whammy with a danecho and they sounded amazing together, very tom morello. get the whammy used if possible and then work on the rat.

I think you should get a whammy. I recently got to mess around with an original Whammy 1, and I didn't even know what they did before then. I have to say, those are some mean pedals...I plan on getting the new one soon...maybe a used new one though.

did i hear naked pictures? oh wait, thats like 250 bucks...

oh i also went out and messed with an xp-100...yeah, i don't really want to talk about that one..

i know a lot of guitarists that find the whammy a great 'toy' for a while but then sort of give up on it (I myself confess to this), for something that is much more guitar orientated i'd go with the memory man or a line 6 dl4 modeller

as for the pro co, i've heard some wonderful tones from modified pro co rats- so i'd say try both

the rat is about 115 dollars isn't it ? ( i live in english punds u c)
a bargain

and the memory man isn't much more than that

save up and get both

you wont b disappointed

Yeah, I agree, you should get the rat and the memory man, you will get far more use out of them in the long run, especially considering how much the whammy costs....

i wanted a whammy for the longest time, but after hearing the way korn used it on 'untouchables', i never ever want to use one other than for fun and kicks. it sounds waaaay too processed for me, very fake and digital. my 2c
