cubbini Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Howdy! I'd like to know if the HD5000x or Helix can emulate a simple whammy bar effect (think Bigsby or old Strat) - at most, up/down 1 whole step, polyphonic, with real good tracking...... like the Ventures would use it.. NOT Dive bombs, or psychotic bumble bees..... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurghanico Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The one below here is the whammy bar effect modelled and included in the POD HD500/X Inspired by Digitech Whammy. It can be controlled by the pedal, you can set your heel and toe values (+/- 24 half steps) and then glide between them. I used it especially to change apparently the guitar tuning 1 half step or 2 down (for some Hendrix and SRV songs) and it tracked well polyphonically. When I use it I put it at the very beginning of the chain, and for me it works... some others forum members here have reported instead bad results. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
