no, i have to admit...the wammy pedal looks cheesey as hell. in fact, i didn't even touch one until about 4 months ago. the octavizer is cool if you want to make alot of 'widdly diddly' with very little effort, and of course all the different pitch settings are great, but it really comes in handy because i have yet to find a floyd rose metal-style guitar that feels as good on the fretboard as my Guild does, so the divebomb setting is great for me. alot of the fun of a real whammy guitar without the frustration of a 10 foot-long fretboard and other such characteristics i find displeasing on most ibanez-style guitars.
