I dug out my whammy pedal having not used it in a few years.. I actually pulled off the black cushions due to the pedal not returning to pitch in the heel position. Watched this video only to remember that I knew how to do this several years ago but had completely forgotten. Where's the super glue
AMAZING!!! Just spent an hour taking mine apart and cleaning all the contacts. Trying to troubleshoot it not working. Thought it was a paperweight till I found your vid! Thanks for resurrecting it from the dead for me!!! No silly intro, no patreon/like/subscribe pandering either. Just good old unfiltered vintage RUclips!
Fantastic mate, thanks for this video. Mines been like this for a while and just never got round to looking at it, thought it was gonna be adjusting the inners
Thanks dude! I had this problem before but my bandmate fixed it for me. Happened a few days ago as well, now I know what to do. Thanks a bunch dude, I love using this pedal :)
Mine just won't calibrate, no matter what it only shows the lowest dot when it smacks the bottom, I might have impatiently ground my nubs of years ago but still, the whole "play space" before kicking in should make that not matter, right? ugh
I was trying to get the minimum parameter to the heal, so I nubbed down the pads, then I thought about Googling electronic problems with the pedal. Then, I found out how to recalibrate it. Lol. That was 5 1/2 years ago, and I use a Pitch Fork with an exp pedal instead now.
KID GUITARIST The Whammy V is actually better, and the way you calibrate it should be the same as the Whammy IV. I personally wish I bought the Whammy V, because it has the rubber cushion on the treadle.
i bought one used, without the power suply. i finnaly got around to buy the right power suply but when i put it in it just makes noices when i play on the bas, and the dry signal is not working. when i put in wet it sound like a very bad distortion pedal and i have to play hard before any sound comes out. everything works, the led and bottons. is it worth fixing ?
Thank you, buddy. I just got one IV from a guy on Craigslist, plugged it in at home, and it was doing the same thing. I was about to call him back to return his broken POS but your video avoided that. Fixed it, AWESOME.
Even though this video is 6yrs old. It's still relivent. Thankyou from Australia

Benjamin Mitchell Super glue? A trip to Walmart it is!

Thank you sooooo much, you're a savior، I nearly looked everywhere to solve this problem, now I feel like I have so much control on the pedal

Okay I got it, just ignore the lights & set it how you want... Sorry. duh moment
Awesome thank you...I was about to trade mine in thinking it's busted and on a whim I found this .....at least I know how dumb I am now lol

Now I feel dumb for returning mine back to guitar center
Brandon Bennett Oh no! That’s unfortunate. Lol
wow, spent an hour dismantle it, edit the insides, put it back together, test, hearing it fail.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I will get a Whammy V at my birthday and I want to know how to know when the whammy needs to be calibrated. Please reply and no negative replies :)

2014JAB Thanks

Dedicated Bass Oof. You may have to trade it in for a different one, unless there’s a guitar shop that could fix it for you.
