Oh God, I love that cheesy Digitech paint job.
And the momentary switch is actually genius.

a momentary switch would be a cool mod to the existing smaller versions.

No way dude. When you turn audio into ones and zeros, multiply it, and spit it back out as audio, its gonna glitch. They can integrate god knows how many counter measures, but its gonna glitch. You just have to roll with it.

Hmmm, if they've ironed out half the glitches, then what's the point? That's half the fun, no?

That looks pretty sweet, and I love how the treadle design is fairly close to the OG Whammy. It seems a rather awkward choice to place the treadle in the center and not off to one side, but I'm sure there's a great reason for it. Can't wait to try it.

I'm working on a project for Harman and the guys who are on site with them said we can get deals on all of their products. If that's the case maybe I can grab a few whammy DTs if anyone is interested. I'll let you know once I hear back from the guys this week.
