Seven Distortion Pedals in One!

The DigiTech DF-7 Distortion Factory Pedal is one of the most advanced distortion pedals ever created. DigiTech has taken seven of the most popular distortion stompboxes of all time and packed them into one pedal using their proven GeNetX modeling technology and exclusive AudioDNA processor.

DigiTech DF-7 Distortion Factory Pedal at a Glance:
  • The sounds of seven famous distortion pedals in one box
  • GENETX Hyper-Modeling technology delivers virtually infinite tone settings
  • AudioDNA chip for fast processing
  • Clear, easy-to-use interface
  • Rugged, road-ready and good looking, too!

The sounds of seven famous distortion pedals in one box
The DF-7 Distortion Factory could eliminate a lot of clutter in your guitar rig! With its models of seven renowned distortion stompboxes, the DF-7 might be the only distortion pedal you need. In one easy-to-use pedal, you have access to some of the world's most famous distortion sounds:
  • Ibanez TS-9
  • DOD 250
  • Boss DS-1
  • Pro Co Rat
  • Boss Metal Zone
  • DigiTech Metal Master
  • EH Big Muff Pi

GENETX Hyper-Modeling delivers virtually infinite tone settings
The DF-7 Distortion Factory pedal gets its power from DigiTech's exclusive GENETX technology. GENETX transcends guitar amp modeling by allowing you to create your own custom amp models, a term DigiTech calls "Hyper-Modeling." GENETX gives you unprecedented control over instrument tone and sonic content through an intuitive user interface. With a simple turn of the warp knob the DF-7 can create a virtually infinite array of tones and textures.

AudioDNA chip for fast processing
Another piece of technology in the Distortion Factory pedal is AudioDNA, DigiTech's sixth-generation audio signal processing chip. The AudioDNA chip uses the latest advancements in integrated circuit technologies to give musicians unprecedented signal processing capabilities. The DSP power of the AudioDNA chip accelerates the modeling and effects processing functions in the Distortion Factory and other DigiTech pedals.

Clear, easy-to-use interface
Despite the advanced technology behind it, the DF-7 Distortion Factory is remarkably easy to operate. Separate Level, Bass, Mid-Frequency, Mid-Range, Gain and Treble knobs on the box face give you precision control over your settings. And DigiTech's signature pedal switch ensures a solid "on" and "off" experience.

Rugged, road-ready and good looking, too!
The Distortion Factory will stand up to heavy gigging and road use. Its rugged cast metal chassis resists dents and dings while protecting the internal circuits. The non-skid rubber base on the DF-7 keeps the pedal where you want it on the floor. And the unique carbon-fiber look is as distinctive as the pedal itself! The DF-7 has two different outputs - one to your amp for live use plus a second CIT compensated out for recording or connecting to a PA. The Distortion Factory is your opportunity to have dirty sound and still clean up your act!

DF-7 Distortion Factory models include:

Model 1 - Ibanez TS-9
This setting models the Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, famous for delivering a warm natural tube overdrive sound. This setting is ideal for boosting your signal without adding a lot of distortion.

Model 2 - DOD 250
The classic DOD 250 Overdrive/Distortion model delivers a smooth overdrive/distortion typical of the legendary guitar sounds of the mid-seventies

Model 3 - Boss DS-1
The Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal model adds tone to your guitar signal when maintaining the dynamic nuances of your playing.

Model 4 - Pro Co Rat
This setting models the Pro Co Rat pedal. This setting offers you the perfect blend of distortion with sustain and cutting power.

Model 5 - Boss MetalZone
The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone pedal model adds sustain and body to your sound while juicing up your mids and lows like a full stack.

Model 6 - DigiTech Metal Master
This setting models the best-selling DigiTech Metal Master pedal.The legendary Metal Master pedal is by far the most extreme distortion you will ever hear. Simply put, Digitech has turned the gain up to "eleven" and ripped the knob off.

Model 7 - EH Big Muff Pi
The Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi model gives you a rich, creamy distortion with violin-like sustain.

Excellent pedal! I have been playing since 84' and I have used a lot of amps and distortion boxes. I now have a ORIGINAL DOD 250 and a MXR 151 and the DF-7 blows them both away.Just imagine....$700 wo... read more [+]rth of pedals in one $99 package that alone makes it an incredible deal. Now you may have to tweak the EQ to get the sounds you want but what else would you expect?? There should be something in there for everyone, You may not like them all but they all have their place in history. close [-]

DigiTech DF-7, very impressed

by Brian Smith from Evevett, WA
March 1, 2005
Music Background:
So I had an amp blow up on me and i had no other amps with selectable distortion. So I leave band practice to go buy a stomp box when i was handed a DF-7. I looking at a boss bd-1 and wasn't in... read more [+]terested in anything else ( most of all a DigiTech product). The guy said it was brand new just got it in today. i grunted and said ok. Oh man it blew me away. it did (does) eveything it boasted it would. i have never been a fan of DigiTech until now. i am actully proud to say i own a DigiTech. the MT-2 modeling in is right on. i can't tell the the difference. For that matter, all are dead on. this box has 7 fully indepenant models, each of which are fully ajustable. Not to mention the Flexable output mode which gives 6 different stereo output modes ( which i have used and really ads that broad stereo sound). i've played it my acoustic conrtol amps, my guitar players Marshall JCM 2000 Dsl 100, and a dinkey crate gfx15 all of which it rocked on. DigiTech making a great stompbox whats next Peavey making a good amp? i must say for once DigiTech has impressed me. close [-]
