A sound unto itself.
Used one back in the day and wanted to grab one again recently and it was just as good as I remember. The unique glitchy sound of this pedal is way more interesting than the normal digitech whammy and with multiple awesome presets like having the dry and wet mixed together is extremely useful in song creation. So many unique options and in music one thing you always want is: to sound different from everyone else. only thing is be careful about the little volume knob in the back! if that little guy gets pushed in your pedal is dead.
Really good (specially if u mod it)
Decent wah/whammy (if u put a buffer in front of it to compensate the tone sucking) and try to mod it or get the job done for you to unlock the xp-300 weird sound palette without going bankrupt

magically delicius
this is not the whammy to have. It does the job if you want these effects. The DtoA conversion is atrocious and makes a sound all its own. The wah settings are really neat though. They don't sound right at all. And that's the charm... its like how lucky charms aren't REALLY marshmallows, you know?

Best Whammy Digitech ever made!
Yes it's true! IMO. Best whammy Digitech ever made. I use it for cool filter/wah effects and the whammy is...well....a whammy :-) Love it. It also can act as a real cool booster. I will never sell mine!

Artist usage
Add artistFrom the "Big Muff Users and Their Pedalboards" section of Kit Rae's Big Muff Page:
"Shown above: Jack White's NYC reissue Big Muff Pi Big Muff Pi (this first version was manufactured 2000-2001) from a November 2001 gig, with a Digitech Whammy-Wah. (...) His Digitech Whammy-Wah (later switched to a Digitech Whammy) was used for an octave-up effect. 'In my small pedal chain it’s the whammy first, then the Big Muff. What I like about the Whammy pedal is that it can raise my guitar an octave and what I like about the Big Muff is that it’s just distortion. I have them in that order because it’s not high-pitched distortion, but high pitch with distortion'"
Brian Welch's guitar tech mentions his DigiTech XP-100 at 16:16, in this rig rundown video, and it can be seen on Welch's pedalboard. This pedal is also mentioned in the 2020 Premier Guitar interview.
Another of Scofield’s pedals, the Digitech Whammy-Wah is his, “favorite of the DigiTech ones,” (6:23). “Most people like the other whammy pedal I like this one,” he says. “I don't know. It's kind of a lot of different effects. The way I have is set up right now it's six presets I have a set for a couple of wahs that I use occasionally. The second is auto wah I use that a lot if you like that auto wah thing…I have a [pre]set so I can whammy down the whole set. That's kind of a whammy bar effect, but on the pedal. And then I use this preset which brings it up one octave. Then I have a [pre]set to go up two octaves if I want for some really ‘out’ type effect. And then this last preset that I have it's set so it's octave below, and the original note - like an octaver thing. That's kind of whammy bar effect but on the pedal…”
"The first thing we go through is the XP-100, and I have a gain control on the back of that so if anybody's looking at all these pedals thinking 'You're gonna lose a lot of signal', you can get it back by just turning up the volume on the XP100." – Jim Otell (Munky's guitar tech) on the DigiTech XP-100 Whammy-Wah.
This pedal is also mentioned in the 2020 Premier Guitar interview.
Our go-to’s are the XP-100 [Whammy] from DigiTech and an old Ibanez chorus pedal.
Here you can see Clint's pedalboard during Sevendust's set at Woodstock '99, among other pedals he is using a Digitech XP-100 Whammy-Wah.
En este reel de Instagram durante un ensayo para el día de la música Chilena se ve que en una de sus pedalboards usa un XP100.
"The Whammy Wah is like an old 90s pedal. I bought a couple of these because they keep breaking; I think they're just made for the studio, really, [...] the whammy effect is something that I use an awful lot just for texture and when [I'm] using a lot of delay and other stuff and it sounds really tasty. It's got some other stuff on there like auto-wahs and filters and stuff like that."
Este pedal es usado por Munky desde el Follow The Leader, desde ese entonces es un pedal fundamental para Munky, tanto que entre los años 1999 y 2006 tenia dos en su pedalboard con distintos settings, este pedal se usa en canciones como: Freak On A Leash, B.B.K, Pretty, Reclaim My Place, Seed, Hey Daddy, Wake Up, Somebody Someone, Here To Stay, Blame, Thoughtless, Embrace, Break Some Off, Let the Guilt Go, Prey For Me, Mass Hysteria, Never Never, Insane, Black Is The Soul, A Different World, Take Me, Please Come For Me, etc.(Estoy seguro que en estas canciones uso el pedal Munky). Recordar que el pedal hace el efecto de Whammy y Wah. Puse de video el concierto de Woodstock, en los minutos 8:30, 13:53 y 15:30 se ve el pedal con mayor claridad.

Has more character and sound options, plus you can easily switch through these presets easily live in user picked setting and also go to bypass quickly. Best thing is the dry and wet mixed preset.
