Control Box mod for Digitech Whammy IV from Custom Guitar Tone

Here is a demo of the control built by Doug from Custom Guitar Tone: http://www.customguitartone.com

I've always loved having a Whammy on the board, but with this mod, I reach for it far more often than before.

Now, if I ever get the whim to throw in some whammy sounds mid song, I can quickly set it up without having to stop playing.

The control box has two buttons and two LEDs. The button on the right switches between the modes. The button on the left changes the direction of the mode switching (clockwise or counter-clockwise). The LEDs (one red, and one blue) indicate which direction the left switch is currently set to.

Doug also did a true bypass mod and changed the LEDs in the Whammy unit.

It's a really highly recommended mod!

Send Doug an email if you're interested; he's a really great guy!

UPDATE: I mentioned this video to Doug, and he's told me that he's updated the control box so that one pedal clicks clockwise, while the other clicks counter-clockwise. No need for the direction changing or the LEDs. I'll try to pick one up off of him soon, and I'll make a new demo.

That's a really cool mod! You don't have to bend down all the time to change the settings! But couldn't you just make the left button go counter-clockwise and the right button clockwise?

You know, instead of the left button changing the direction of the right button.

@BlueCrayolaMarker Yep. Read the video description for all of the details.
