Why DigiTech®
pedals are the choice of GUITARISTS.(Besides awesome tone, it’s the extra details that count.)
Recessed knobs prevent accidental foot “adjustments.”Cast metal body that is built like a tank and equipped with an anti-skid foot-ing that won’t slide around on stage.Our warranty proves we build these for professional use and abuse.
Studio-ready! X-Series, DigiTech Distortion, Artist and X-Series Bass models feature an extra cabi-net modeling output allows you to go direct-to-mixing board.
Color-coded for easy identification on dimly-lit stages. Super-easy battery access even during
a song (drum solos are good for something!). Just use a ¼" guitar plug to push the release button instead of having to hunt for a screwdriver.

The DigiDelay® delivers up to four sec-onds of delay, which is perfect for the built-in Loop function, providing enough time to record a rhythm pattern and have it loop.
You also get five delay Mode types, including: Mono, Stereo Ping Pong, Tape Delay (just like those 60’s tape echo chambers), Mod Delay that adds a lush chorus-like effect to the delay, and Re-verse Delay, a unique effect that repeats anything you play into it backwards. You can also set up classic Solo Delay and Slapback sounds. TapTempo lets you set the repeat time by tapping the footswitch.

Gated and Reverse deliver great special reverb effects. The Spring is an accurate emulation of old tube “Tank” reverbs, and even goes “Boing,

These examples are just some of the effects chains you can create using our single-effects pedals. Each one delivers a unique tone and sound. Use them to help you select the right combination of DigiTech pedals to develop the perfect sound for your playing style.
Guidelines for connecting effects pedals: 7 Units that detect an envelope should
be connected close to the guitar. 7 Connect EQ after your distortion. 7 Connect reverb units toward the end
of the effect chain. 7 Taking advantage of stereo
connections will add depth and dimension to any application.

The Bass Driver™ is designed to create rich overdrive sounds in any bass ampli-fier.

By rotating the Morph knob, you will hear various bass Fuzz and Overdrive dis-tortion sounds morphing from our model of a Boss® ODB-3™*, to our model of a Pro Co Rat™*. Then fine tune them with the

The Bass Multi Chorus™ is designed specifically for bass to create a lush, fat bass chorus sound contained in a stomp-box. The Bass Multi Chorus lets you select up to 16 chorus voices at the same time.
For example, choose a 4-voice chorus to fatten the mix or an 8-voice chorus for an extra lush sound. There is also built-in voice randomization that increases as you add voices, thickening the sound even further.
By simply rotating the Voice knob you can grow your chorus from one Subtle voice all the way to a 16-Voice Shimmer.
