Can anyone tell me how to emulate the whammy dive bomb on The intro to lonely boy by the Black Keys
I'm a noob,I need explaining,,I have a mission pedal,just need to know what parameters will get me there

Thanks
 
Use pitch block in PRE chain (probably before drive block if present), whammy type, 1 octave down mode. Assign pedal's Ext Ctrl to pitch CONTROL parameter. (Pedal needs to be calibrated and assigned as an External Control.)

In modifier menu set damping around 400 ms. This will let you move the pedal quickly while the damping creates a consistent slower change. (Original effect is switch-based, not expression pedal.)

You may also want to increase the modifier SCALE parameter. This prevents hearing excessive deceleration near the end of the modifier range. Around 1.3 should be good. With higher damping times it's easier to hear how scale reduces this.
