This pedal is highly sought after for it's distinct, lo-fi tracking and quirky glitches. The unique, aggressive sound of the WH-1 became a foundational tool for several rock icons:Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) used it for his signature alien-like scratch solos and massive pitch sweeps.Jack White (The White Stripes) relies on it for heavy, octave-doubled riffs.Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) used its octave-up glitchiness on tracks like "My Iron Lung".Key Specifications & FeaturesPitch Bending: Shift your single-note lines up or down by a full two octaves.Harmony & Detune: Features intelligent harmony settings and a rich, chorus-like "Detune" mode driven by a classic, obsolete internal processing chip.The Glitch Factor: Unlike modern polyphonic pitch shifters that track perfectly, the WH-1 struggles to track chords. This results in a distinct, "glitchy" digital artifacting prized for experimental music.Cosmetically: This unit has a few very minor scratches (so minor they are difficult to photograph) pictured. Otherwise, this pedal is in excellent condition.Tested by our technicians, works as it should.The unit weighs 2 lbs 7 ounces.Shipping Dimensions10" x 10"x 6" 5 lbsShop at our Reverb Store for a bunch of vintage and other products at:https://reverb.com/shop/gordys-musicIN BUSINESS for 40 YEARS!!50 YEARS of VINTAGE EXPERIENCE!MICHIGAN GUITAR SHOW PROMOTORS Since 1989!Brick and mortar to the end!___________________________________________________________________________Visit out website to see the long list of celebrity musicians and groups we have met and serviced in the past 40 years. NOTE: Too cool.

We've got decades of celebrity customers, including recent visits from Beck, Eric Johnson, and we recently sold Billy Joel's bassist a cool Gibson SG he is in love with. One day a while back Andre 3000 and his group stopped in to browse as they were playing Masonic Temple that night and right after that we sold an old oil can Morley Wah Vibrato pedal to Credence Clearwater Revival's thee John Fogerty!We are having and have had a lot of fun here at Gordy's Music! I was just remembering about 35 years ago a tour bus pulled up to our little shop, and who rolls right in and hangs out for an hour? Lenny Kravitz and his entire group, right about the same time I was selling many guitars to and chauffeuring around Dee Dee Ramone who had an apartment a block down from my house.
