Digitech Whammy songs?

[Jongpil Yun]

I'm getting a push button momentary killswitch. Chris Broderick has one on his awesome RG.

 

[Rindgecore]

There's a couple of solo's on Dying Fetus' "Killing on Adrenaline" that has some sick whammy work.

'New Born' by Muse...the solo uses the whammy in a serious way.

'Seven Nation Army' by the White Stripes (used as an octave divider).

Anything by Jennifer Batten (she uses the 'tone down' setting a lot).

Are you sure it's a whammy- I'm not familiar with the song but the Muse guy has chaos pad type thing built into his guitar which makes similar noises to a whammy, could be that?

Matt Bellamy uses literally tons of effects and the chaos pas is just one of them. He actually uses a touch strip on of his guitars to controll a Whammy

Matt mostly uses the Sweep Echo setting on the Line6 Delay Modeler. This setting is a combination of an echo/delay and a filter (similar to a phaser). It can be heard most noticably during the live intro of Bliss, and throughout numerous other songs when playing live.
The effect used on the solo of Sober is that of the Lovetone Meatball. It is primarily an envelope filter but allows you to manipulate many more parameters than conventional filters. Details and sound samples can be found on the Lovetone website.
The strange solo effect on the recording of Dark Shines is the Trumpet Effect featured on the Roland VG-8.
The solo effect of Newborn is obtained by using the Digitech Whammy set to 1-octave up.
The Muscle Museum intro is achieved by using the 1-octave up harmony setting of the Digitech Whammy.
The solo of Sunburn features the Digitech Whammy set to raise the pitch by 2-octaves as well as a slight delay.
Numerous songs on Showbiz, namely Fillip, Cave and Uno feature pitchshifting effects at the start, again obtained using the Digitech Whammy.
Despite what the official tab book might say, Sing for Absolution is played with a capo on the 2nd fret. The compressed wah sound in the solo is a Foxx Tone Machine, an old fuzz wah pedal from the sixties. The signal went from the guitar, to the pedal, then into a stereo delay going out to two different amps with different distortions on each delay, similar to the guitar setup used in the solo of Hysteria.
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist uses a capo on the 10th fret.

If anyone has a question regarding the effects that Matt uses or any queries as to a specific effect used in a song please feel free to e-mail me and I shall post them on this page - xoxdaniel@fobbedoff.netxox

I stand corrected. Said the man in the orthopedic shoes.

 

[Hawksmoor]

It's always tough to discern effects, so there's no need to stand for anything

I've seen it transcribed with a whammy pedal, although you're right, with the arsenal of stuff he uses it could be anything.

A Perfect Circle - Judith.

 

[Hawksmoor]

Was judith played with a whammy? I thought that was The Hollow?

 

[distressed_romeo]

Actually, now I think about it, there's one bit in 'Judith' that I'm sure must be played with a whammy pedal...I'm going to dig that out again now and have a listen!

Yes, he does use a whammy after the first chorus and before "Oh so many many ways for me to show you // How your dogma has abandoned you... "

God I love that fugging song.

 

[7 Strings of Hate]

man, i never knew that judith had a whammy in it, that the only song on the cd that uses it? , isnt that album tuned down 1 and a half steps?

 

[muffgoat]

All i have to say was Dimebag was the king of the whammy pedal, That is how he reaches those signature fuckin high pitched Dime screams (i love doin those )

 

[Drew]

Satch's "Cool #9" was the first place I ever hearda whammy, and the live version is still one of the best useages I've ever heard. Ditto with "Raspberry Jam Delta-V."

He used the floyd rose whammy bar to get the high pitched squeals, not the whammy pedal: YouTube - Dimebag Squealing Lessons

The whammy part is also played with a slide. I don't think there are any whammy parts in The Hollow. The solo on Rose at 1:07 could have been played with a whammy, but I'm not sure. And by the way, glad to see I'm not the only one here who's into APC!

DURP, i know that i guess i should've been more specific on my description... I meant taking his screams to another level, anyone with a whammy bar can do a regular scream but to take it to the level he usually did you needed the whammy pedal. He even mentioned what i was talking about "hit it up with the whammy" i love that shit tho, do that shit live and people watchin just kinda look at you like huh?

 

[malmsteenrocks77]

Bucketheads jordan has a few parts when he uses the whammy

 

[GiantBaba]

The live album "Damage" by David Sylvian and Robert Fripp has the best Whammy-playing I've ever heard, especially on "God's Monkey" and "Brightness Falls"
