Congratulations, you are the proud owner of a DigiTech® CF-7 Chorus Factory™. The CF-7 offers the lush sounds from seven of the most popular chorus pedals ever designed into a single compact pedal.

Maybe you’ll only use one model, on one setting; or maybe you’ll explore all seven classic models to their full capacity, and use both the CF-7’s outputs to connect to two amps for the full stereo experience. Either way, you’ll have a full arsenal of rich chorus sounds!

You will definitely appreciate the sonic richness of each model, thanks to our custom AudioDNA2® DSP chip. The CF-7’s models were meticulously designed to capture every nuance each pedal has to offer. And just like all X-Series™ pedals, the CF-7 features our Flexible Output ModeTM, equipped with our acclaimed CIT™ cabinet modeling for whenever you need a guitar amp response when running the CF-7 directly into a mixer or recording device.

So plug in your CF-7 and get ready for takeoff. You’ve got a whole world of choruses and mod effects to discover.
