Truely awsome and underated Overdrive pedal
Review of Digitech Bad Monkey Overdrive by
col_death
Advantages: Analog overdrive circuitry, vintage overdrive tone, great as a channel booster
Disadvantages: Battery life isn't great
...an alternative, and found the Digitech Bad Monkey. After listening to some sound samples I decided that it was a perfect booster for my amp. And it is...
What's great about this little green pedal, is the tone that you get from it. It is just like a vintage valve (Tube) amp. It has that warm break-up that you'd expect to hear from a valve driven amp, and none of that over compressed digitized sound that you get from a lot of "overdrive" pedals. ... ...many "overdrive" pedals.
The pedal has 4 controls and 2 output jacks (amp out for guitar amps, and a emulated cabinet out for recording, etc.);
Level - control the output of the pedal, so you could have that cranked up to physically overdrive your amp if you wanted.
Low - this is a tone crafting control, you can use it to cut or boost the bass response of the "tube".
High - another tone crafting control, used to cut or boost the high frequencies ...

Whammy/Wah/Detuner in one = lots of fun!
Review of Digitech XP 100 by
benmoore1984
Advantages: so many effects and features, 'favourites' memory, great fun
Disadvantages: whammy tracking problems, out of production, can't change preset settings, not true bypass
This pedal by digitech was an attempt to put a whammy pedal and a wah pedal into one.
There are 29 settings that can be used (6 of which can be saved into a 'favourites' section for easy access - very useful if you want to use, say no.4 and no.21 in the same song without having to cycle through everything else inbetween! This is a life saver in gigs!). The first setting is simply a volume pedal. This means that the further down you press the pedal, ... ...problem with any of the Digitech Whammy pedals.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Settings 15 to 18 do the opposite to 13 and 14. The bend the note downwards as you press the pedal down. (Either two steps down e.g. an E to a D; one octave down, two octaves down, or 6 (yes, SIX) octaves down). The 6 octaves down option is for what is called a 'nose dive' effect - you can reproduce the sound of a plane nose diving, ...

Digitech Midi Vocalist
Review of Digitech Vocalist Performer by
billi65
Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: none
The digitech midi vocalist is a nice little piece of kit. It is used for creating vocal harmonies while singing. It can generate up to 4 extra harmonies while you sing. It is very easy to use and the midi control is great. (vocoder mode)You can play a part on a keyboard and when you sing, the keyboard part creates the notes for the harmony. This was the most useful feature of the unit for me. It is a 1U rack mount unit and comes with the rack fittings, ... ...pans the harmonised voices. The microphone can be plugged in the front XLR jack or in the rear with a normal quarter inch jack. I bought the midi vocalist and a small effects unit to emulate ENYA type voices. It’s really good. I would recommend the unit to any vocalist as it “beefs up” your vocal line. The user manual is a bit cheap (like a photocopy stapled together) but it is simple and all you need to get going. If you need any ...

Gensis 1 - Digitech
Review of Digitech Genesis 1 Multi Effects Desk Top Processor by
JaYmEZ
Advantages: Great little desk top modeler
Disadvantages: needs footswitch for live work !
...2x12
9. Blonde 2x12
10. DIGITECH Custom one 2x12
11. DIGITECH Custom two 4x12
It goes needless to say. , that these are controlled with front mounted selector switches that are very clear to use, and the names descried above are not what is written on the unit for obvious copyright issues...etc. CONNECTION:
=
This has the usual input for guitar, 1/4" mono jack, a 1/8" for a stereo cable to plug in a cd player, to play along with ... ...and then a left and a right (for stereo combination or single mono usage) these are 1/4". There is a line out for recording, which is good, but often requires some small tweaking to get a good sound, and you will need to use a cabinet model selected to make it sound good. That’s my experience / view. There's the standard power input, which is supplied its a typical 9v 240AC adaptor so if it brakes its not the end of the world. And the last input ...
