    i have had an idea for a rival to the digitech whammy, you have a small mini morely wah size box, you have only the octaves (up 2, up 1, down 1, down 2), a switch from monophonic (whammy sounds) and polyphonic (the octaves side of a pog), a bend/blend switch (bend bends the note up to the octave, and blend brings in the wet signal into the dry one, to have a harmonizer), a true bypass switch, a red led, and a volume boost knob (because of player prefrence), what do you guys think?

    I think its called the Ring Thing, and I got one! It does everything the whammy can and more, in polyphony. Read the review here: https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/3153/

    the ring thing has a diffrent purpose though, this is only pitch shifting, and as far as i know the ring thing doesnt have a polyphonic mode

    The ring thing is indeed polyphonic, but we may be differing on the meaning of polyphonic. It does not do POG-like octaves in the sense that you can have a lower and upper at the same time, but to me polyphonic means that it handles full chords and pitch-bends the chords. And there’s no volume boost, but there is certainly a blend knob and a harmonizer, so for example I have it set to heel-down and there is no harmony, and as I move to tow-down I can blend the effect in, like a harmonizing 3rd or 5th or whatever I set it to.

    Ring Thing is polyphonic, but it only has two voices- wet/dry.

    I think when you say polyphonic, you mean polyvoice. But polyvoice isn’t a word. Or is it? multi-voice? I’m pretty sure there’s a word for it.
