Great Pedal
I wanted a pitch shifter to enhance my arrangements by adding harmonies, 'pitch shifts', etc..
I was intrigued by the option to control harmonies and pitches with the expression pedal and thus chose for this pedal.
The sound quality and tracking are phenomenal as is the case with many Digitech pedals.
The pedal itself is well-built and filled to the brim with useful features such as many different harmonies and even a detune option.
The only downside is that you may need to recalibrate the expression pedal once in a while, but that is to be expected.
All in all a great pedal and I would definitely recommend it to anyone

This pedal really is an oddball, brilliant idea executed very well that gives you the opportunity to pull out instant walls of sound whenever you feel like it. Definitely takes a few hours of playing to really get where the pedal sits in your arsenal, as it's tempting to just use it for everything, but really you gotta be clever with it to really make it work in live situations as i've found myself kicking it one in intense moments and it just kills the vibe. The tracking (most of the time) is impeccable on the 'chord' setting and capable of getting the signature glitchy bad tracking sound on 'classic'. One problem i've found on my unit and im certain this is a one off thing is that the note a 5th down is slightly out, and it's only this note i think but otherwise i can't fault it. An appropriate midi controller would be a good investment if the pedal becomes an integral part of your sound, as the sounds which work the best are quite fair apart on the selector. All in all a very versatile and usable pedal (standard 9v in), built well and a good investment if you really take the time to explore the musical possibilities.

compared to the red guitar whammy (version 5) this one does retain the lower register better used with bass. This is mostly noticeable in 1 or 2 octaves up setting where the this pedal (blue bass version) retains more energy and does not drop out of the mix as much. It is however very power hungry with a rating of 1300mA so make sure to use a good psu with enough power.

Yeah... it's good ;)
Think of it as an extension - almost an other instrument - of your bass.
On my board it's patched right after a Darkglass Microtubes preamp and those two are really doing the job.
Fun to play with, brings a lot of creativity (beware the risk of getting lost in the sound for hours) and at the same time, in my experience only, it can quickly sound "too much" so I keep it in a specific range of harmonies, always blended with a smooth overdrive.
I definitely recommend it.

Best Pitch Shift Ever
This is the second bass whammy I bought from Thomann. I borrowed my first to a friend, he loved it so much that did not want to give it back. It took me a while again to buy it but finally I got the second one because I can't play my solo or band gigs without this guy here.
Soundwise it's the most clear and pricise pitch shifter in the market, it even gets better ad it gives you the option to have it dry or wet.

Ideaal hulpmiddel voor de creatieve bassist
Ik gebruik dit pedaal vooral als octaver en in mindere mate als pitchifter.
Persoonlijk vind ik hem best klinken op bassen me veel mid en laag. Hij is gebruiksvriendelijk en het pedaal reageert zeer snel!
Een minpuntje vind ik het draaiknopje waarmee je de sound kiest. Ik durf hier wel eens met mijn voet aan haperen waardoor je plots andere sound krijgt tijdens het spelen.
Zeer degelijk pedaal met zeer veel mogelijkheden voor de creatieve bassist.

Bass Whammy
Having owned the original I can say this is an improvement in almost every way, better pedal action, much more sturdy casing and the tracking is massively improved. The only things I miss from the old version is the buttons to change settings so you could switch with your feet, and the lovely warble you got when the whammy tried to track multiple notes (the tracking in the new one allows for excellent multi-note tracking so the warble doesn't happen anymore)

sturdy as a bull
i bought this blindly and it has turned out to be very good. it has alot of harmony and interval options and works well over a wide range.you can get some great sounds out of this from extreme to subtle changes with small movements of your foot. it has different settings for a single note or harmony. each have alot of variations themselves ranging from 2nd interval to 2 octaves up.
though testing ive found that it works well on guitar too i have though i havent tried the guitar specific model so i cant compare it to that. it has a sturdy metal housing and seems like it wont fall apart for many decades. you can change settings easily enough with your foot if you are dexterous. it has a pretty large footprint on a pedalboard but thats to be expected and isnt really a negative.
no real negatives come to mind, its solidly built and does what its supposed to. its a keeper for me atleast.

One of the most musical effects ever
If used correctly this pedal can be a true extension of your creativity, everything you want to play but couldn't produce with just one instrument, of big jumps in tonality that are just too far away on the fretboard to be able to play on time and still manage to pull it all off, this pedal is your savior!! ;) Use is like an instrument, as this is what it is, not an effect ;)
I always wanted to try one, and having bought the whammy DT for my guitarist in the band now we're getting the Bass whammy to complement it, and remove all the limits tonally for a classic rock band setup of one guitar, one bass player a drummer and a singer ;)

Awesome!
Had high expectations after owning the guitar version, this one is even better! Good tracking, even on lower strings :)
