Whammy?

On ONA live I hear some whammy bar-type effects (i.e. Joy in Repetition) However, as far as I know P never plays guitars with tremelo systems. Is this the Digitech Whammy pedal, a different guitar, or...?

on the newest version of Habibi (if it's the same name) there is a whammy bar. I remember him making 'noise' with it during "sign o' the times' in frankfurt, and then some more noise in berlin toward the end of "whole lotta love".
i was kinda shocked myself to see him use one, let alone have one purposely affixed to his pride n' joy!

Oh my! Anyone seen any pictures of this? (curiously, the cloud type guitar is the only one NOT seen in the artwork of ONA live... hmmm)

He did have the dark blue cloud in the rack, though.
Just it's presence alone made me feel more secure smile

Don't forget about "Ronnie Talk to Russia" and that was long before the Orr guitars although he had the bass made

Damn, that's right! Come to think of it, I suppose he used one for the hendrix sounds on Private Joy and Orgasm too. Gee.

I thought it was a volume pedal.
