i love my digitech whammy but it takes up too much damn room.
i just want something that can do polyphonic octaves and / or note bends w/o being bigger than a wah / volume / whatever.
pretty please.

that doesn't have a rocker (term?) or an expression input. i want something i can bend, like the whammy can, not just switch drop or up.

basically i'd like to cut a whammy in half down to its left side and have its bend selection on the side or something like that. take up half the room.

EHX Pitchfork + expression pedal is probably going to be the closest you'll get and you probably won't gain that much space from it so :idk:

You can do bends with it though! Watch the demo. You can set it to momentary and set the rise and fall of the bend. It's maybe not as flexible as a rocker though.

yeah, unless it's an expression handling more than one pedal. i'd have to settle on which too, adding an ABY and again it'd still take up as much room. :(

The Digitech EX-7 has a whammy mode on it and it's just the normal width of a wah pedal. I think it does 7 different intervals.

He's shit for a lot of distortions/fuzzes because he plays with his fingers though. :facepalm: I wish he did both so we could hear the difference. :idk:

There is some sort of irony that probably the longest running/highest viewed guitar/gear demo channel person doesn't even use a pick, but oh well (so much for those $50 abalone pick demos we'll never see).

Ben from PWR BTTM is pretty good, though.
