Becoming

I can't figure how he makes his squeels here. I have a Whammy (Digitech Whammy WH-4), ok not the same model he used, but similar enough which should be able to recreate the same sound he could get.

Does anyone know how he actually achieved these squeels with the whammy? Meaning, the settings on the whammy (Was it set to 1 or 2 octaves up) how he hits the strings (Are they fretted note/s or harmonic/s), which frets he used and did he even depress the pedal fully when doing it?

Arg.

The same help would be appreciated for Suicide Note Part II. Ta

Don't know the notes for becoming, but for suicide note pt 2 he steps on the whammy pedal as he plays a Bb power chord (root note 6 on the low string)

If I remember right, you fret three and five on the fifth and third string respectively, kind of like an octave powerchord, or however the hell you'd word it, and then hit the whammy pedal.
