Bobby Bray / The Locust uses:

• Whammy DT The older version influenced how I approached specific Locust songs, which was featured prominently in Solar Panel Asses, Earwax Halo Manufactured for the Champion in All of Us, and Late for a Double Date with a Pile of Atoms in the Water Closet. The wide octave sweeps sound so smooth, and the feel of the expression pedal is just as smooth. It creates a synesthesia for me, between the sense of touch and the sense of hearing - there's a neurological harmony there that I can trust intuitively. The added capabilities of the Whammy DT are that much more inspiring. The temporary button is great when you need to emphasize just a split second of sound - instead of having to quickly turn a switch on, and then immediately off again. And having a second set of pitch options, separate from the Whammy capabilities gives a wider variety of sounds that you can control with your feet. For example, if you are in the middle of a song at a show, you can't bend down and change the setting between a 5th up and 2 Octaves up. But, if you have the Whammy section set for crazy pitch bends up 2 octaves, you can still have the other side giving that 5th, controlled by a separate foot switch - it's like 2 or 3 pedals in one.
