Re: bigsby
Dammit! I don't want to buy another pedal!
Re: bigsby
At least with a Bigsby pedal, people 40 years from now won't be cursing you for having installed it aftermarket on your (now) vintage guitars
"Damnit, this guy owned a Bigsby pedal but sold it at some point. This guitar's value has really been compromised."

Re: bigsby
Gamechanger Audio do interesting stuff. They also do a Plus pedal which is an eternal sustain thing, and just like they made this look like a BIgsby, they made the Plus look like a piano sustain pedal.
I want both of them! Alas, studio won't be operational for months so probably won't get either.

Now I have to build a guitar with built in Cry Baby Wah-Wah....
Re: bigsby
I wasn't paying enough attention...does foot Down mean note UP?
It looks cool and I really like whammy bars but I can't, fr the life of me and rather like note bending, quite work out when & why to bend/whammy.

Re: bigsby
That's a cool idea. No use for it personally, but it looks neat.

Re: bigsby
I think it is genius. For me especially, All but one of my guitars i have to hold upside down and if i ever wanted a trem put on it it just won't make any sense. Now, with this, i can add a trem to any of my guitars i want with out doing a mod. I really want my tele to have a trem on it. Some of the surf stuff i have been banging away at desperately needs it.
Re: bigsby
Interesting. I'm fucking shit at using a whammy bar so this would suit me. But I don't ever thing I want to use a whammy bar. Aside from the Ibanez in a case in the attic my guitars are fixed bridge.
Re: bigsby
Isn't that just basically one setting of a Whammy pedal?
Re: bigsby
Yep.. I think so.
Be interesting to know the amount you can bend down, and whether it was adjustable...

Re: bigsby
Oh! I was misreading what kind of whammy bar this was emulating. I thought they were doing the kind that only bends the one string down. What are those called?

Re: bigsby
That's it. Thank you. It'd be cool to see that as an option for the pedal.Greg_L wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 11:52 amb-bendervomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 11:39 am Oh!

Re: bigsby
When I was in my high school band, I was fucking around with the whammy bar like Jimi Hendrix. It’s definitely fun. Haven’t touched a whammy in a decade, though.
“Naaaaaaaaaah man. I ain’t touching that mic. That thing’s expensive!”
