DigiTech Bass Guitars

This pedal is metallic green. Very similar in size and build to a Boss pedal. This pedal is built like a tank. It's an envelope filter, it's an octave pedal, it's an auto wah pedal, it's a bird, it's a plane, ay yi yi you get the idea! I bought this when I was in a messing around with effects phase. I paid $80 for it at my local music shop. I wanted a few simple, good sounding pedals to add to my rig. <a href="http://guitarvideochannel.com/blogs/columns/billys-world">http://guitarvideochannel.com/blogs/columns/billys-world</a> I like that the unit is simple to use and there is a variety of sounds you can get in one pedal. Anything from Octave effects to Auto Wah to Synth and Sub Low effects. The knobs are very very subtle. It takes some time to get used to it. You must really dial things in. Built rock solid. It%27s been on my pedal board for a few years and shows no signs of stopping. Bottom Line: If you are new to bass pedals this is a great one to start with. Take some time and learn all of what it does and how it does it. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I have been playing bass for over 10 years. I have played in local bands. I love jazz and jam due to the improvizational aspect. I bought this unit on Ebay for $350. I was looking for effects with a loop station. I love the ability to make your own sounds. The 8 track recorder/ loop station is great. It is fairly easy to use after reading a few directions. Some of the factory presets wernt quite what I was looking for so I changed them. It is sturdy, but my unit has chipped paint due to being on the road. This is a great practice tool along with sound bank and loop. I love it!! This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I will say I bought the effect peddle in edmonton, but I won't say where. The effect pedal doesn't original come with a power conection, so you don't have to run it on batteries. But the guy was nice enough to cut me a deal. (I didn't even complain about the price figure that). I paid in full roughly $130.00 I is helpful to introduce you to new and old effects out on the market. The effect in the bass there were only a few I find neat and atractive but there are others out there that I know are not practical but are still fun to mess around with. I like combining a wah effect and a delay and chorus. If you rub your hand on the string it sounds like a DJ using a record player. The thing I don't like about it is that there no really way to stitch to other effects if needed, or switch back to normal sound of needed. That is amditory in praticing with a band or playing live The quality of the sound is good better than getting an annoying buzz from regular magnetic effects. The effects is good for a starter who is wanting to know what kind of effects are out there, but there are allot more for your information. In performing live it would hold it's own if switch to diffecnt effects with little effort weren't a proble. that is about it. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought this processor off of www.Zzounds.com for $145.99. That may seem a little pricey, but hell its worth it. I play bass and instead of buying one pedal for each effect, i bought this. I like that this unit has over 10 different effects. It also has 16 different Cabinet models. It has Delay, and Reverb, it also has an expression pedal built in to it so you can control whammy or wah. I also like the fact the you can create you're own effects by combining them and adding different cabinet models. N/A It has a SOLID metal construction unlike that plastic Zoom 605 Model. This pedal will withstand almost anything. If you are a bassist and need a few effects, don't spend hundreds on seperate pedals, buy this and you will use it very often. Another great thing about this processor is that it works well with electric guitars too. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

For a good while playing clean was fine for me, but a recent metal project demanded that I get some meaner sounds out of my bass. I went to Mother's Music in Edmonton, AB, Canada and picked out this bad boy. I originally was seeking a BOSS overdrive pedal, but the Digitech was cheaper and in my opinion, of better quality. As I recall it retailed for about $85 US. This thing really is MEAN! The ability to tone, blend, and morph your overdrive effects to your heart's content is a dream for me and a minor annoyance to my bandmates. Great for grinding away at thrash metal tunes and filling in the low end (i.e. lead guitar is clean and you need that rumble beneath him). Even suitable for some fuzzy funk. Crank the distortion to the max and you can get some really evil noises with tapping, slapping and plucking. I have but one complaint, but I feel it is a major one. The pedal is NOT sold with an AC adapter, which I think is just plain dumb. This thing is a power monster; it eats 9V batteries like they're going out of style. If you're going to get the pedal, the AC adapter really is a must. What pissed me off is that I had to return to Mother's Music 3 times before I got the appropriate adapter! Digitech should just sell the damned AC adapter and pedal as a complete package. It's built like a tank: I've stomped on every part of this thing during shows and it still keeps kicking. As a result the paint is flecking off on the corners - a minor cosmetic worry. The control knobs are durable and have a solid feel to them. The rubber sole of the pedal and its weight do a good job of keeping it from slipping about on stage. Almost a 5 out of 5. My beef about the AC adapter keeps my final rating at a 4 though. I would definitely recommend this pedal for metal/funk/hardcore applications, as it truly does provide wicked sounds. I play an Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray (active) and a Fender Deluxe Special P-Bass (passive), and the pedal gives each more personality and power.
