Question 1

Does this do everything the 5th generation pedal does?

Accepted Answer

Yes, except it doesn't have the classic algorithm switch. This switches from the polyphonic shifting used on this and the WhammyV to the old algorithm, which is super glitchy on chords [and that's why it's fun]. If you want that feature you'll need a WhammyV or an early Whammy. Otherwise get this, it's built like a tank, tracks REALLY fast, and doesn't really get artificial sounding until 7 tones up-shifting or higher.

Question 2

Does it work on bass ? I need to detune  from e to e flat ?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is YES (as previously advised): It does work on bass, so there's no need to detune. In fact, as a bass player, I've had the "Drop" down to C standard and the rest of the band didn't even notice. HOWEVER, I tend to find that this works best if you have a little grit on your sound. If your sound is clean and pristine, the quality of the "drop" isn't as good as the original (although I concede that this is a matter of opinion). You also need to pay attention to where the pedal is placed in relation to other pedals if this applies. If so, I find it works best in an effects chain which starts with a buffered tuner (e.g., a Boss), after which the "Drop" is placed second prior to any other processing (although this is not a hard and fast rule; IMHO, you should experiment).

Question 3

What power supply should I get for this pedal?

Accepted Answer

9v

Question 4

I want to buy this for my grandson. I haven't a clue about these things. Will I need to buy special cables also?

Accepted Answer

It comes with a power adapter so all you need is a patch cable to go between the pedal and the amp (or other pedals)
