NAMM: Distortion Factory!
Distortion Factory - Knocks Out Seven Shades Of Shred...

With their new DF-7 'Distortion Factory' pedal, DigiTech has modeled seven of the all-time greatest distortion and overdrive stompboxes and packaged them in one convenient effects pedal. Designed for guitarists looking for a wide variety of tones ranging from mild to wild, the DF-7 models all the nuances, drive and vibe reminiscent seven well-known pedals, including models based on the Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, DOD Overdrive/Preamp 250, Boss DS-1, Pro Co Rat, Boss MT-2 Metal Zone, DigiTech's own Metal Master, and the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi.

The Seven Models

  • Model one is based on the Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, famous for delivering a warm natural tube overdrive sound. This setting is ideal for boosting the guitar's signal without adding a lot of distortion.

  • Model two is based on the DOD Overdrive Preamp/250 and delivers a smooth overdrive/distortion typical of the legendary guitar sounds of the mid-70's.

  • Model three is based upon the Boss DS-1 Distortion, one of the most famous all-purpose distortions with plenty of gain yet maintaining the dynamic nuances of your guitar's tone.

  • Model four is based on the Pro Co Rat - the perfect blend of warm growl to edgy punch makes this a versatile distortion.

  • Model five is based on the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone, a high gain modern stack distortion for today's metal guitarist.

  • Model six is based upon the DigiTech Metal Master. This top selling distortion pedal model features a solid midrange boost for an incredible sustaining lead tone with great harmonics and easily controlled feedback.

  • Model seven is based on the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi - experience that great 60's retro fuzz tone with this model.

    The pedal's features include a seven position Model knob, as well as dual amp and mixer outputs with DigiTech's award winning CIT cabinet modeling, allowing direct connection to mixing consoles utilizing a variety of popular speaker cabinet models. Plus the DF-7 is the first X-Series to feature three dual concentric pots for Gain, Level, Low, High, Mid, and Mid Frequency EQ controls.

    Housed in a rugged cast-metal enclosure with a unique carbon-fiber look, the DF-7 Distortion Factory has a non-slip rubber base and is built to withstand years of rigorous use. Powered by a 9 Volt battery or optional DigiTech PS200R Power Supply, the DF-7 Distortion Factory is available immediately at authorized DigiTech dealers and comes with a one-year warranty.
