The Whammy pedal and more
I was originally looking of a v5 Digitech Whammy, after reading reviews about the difference between v5 and v4. After seeing this Whammy DT that was an "open-box" special for the same price as the v5 Whammy, I decided to try the upgrade. I'm glad I did. The Whammy features work as expected, but the drop-tune is really helpful for me as some of my favorite artists (like Stevie Ray Vaughn and Thin Lizzy) recorded a half-step lower than standard tuning. One click and I can go from a .38 Special song in standard to a Thin Lizzy song down a half step.
My only complaint in the location of the "Momentary" button, which is below the drop tune button.
I've had it for a couple weeks and still haven't plumbed the depths of possibilities with this pedal. Definitely will stay in my pedal chain.
Edit: After playing with it a while, there are a couple of very minor issues - the pedal is thin, and if you have a fat foot (like me), you can accidentally move the knobs on the tuning or whammy sides of the pedal while you're pressing down on it. Also, the pedal is sometimes difficult to move back to the heel position, but that's probably me not being so familiar with the pedal. Overall, my recommendation stands.

Different, Worth A Try
This ground is very different from gesso and requires some getting used to. But if you've ever used traditional oil surface preps before, this is a nice modern alternative.
You will definitely want to be careful with spreading it (use gloves, it's a pain to try to wash off your hands). It also takes a while to dry. I definitely recommend following the video on the Gamblin web site. That said, I'm pleased with the coverage and the way it settled onto the panel I used it for.

Small, sounds good.
Item seemed smaller than it appears in the photos on the listing, but not a problem. The sound from the bells is mellifluous and not overpowering. Good for a small shop. The back has a magnet, but apparently no part of the door to our business is enough metal for it to work. There are two round 3M stickers to attach it to the door in that case.
