Congratulations and special thanks from DigiTech® for choosing the DF-7™ Distortion Factory™ Pedal.

Distortion pedals are as important to the world of guitar playing as guitar playing is to modern music, and the DigiTech DF-7 Distortion Factory is the most advanced distortion pedal ever created.We’ve modeled seven of the most popular distortion stompboxes of all time and packed them into one pedal equipped with our new, powerful Flexible Output Mode™ with selectable Stereo Spectrum Technology.

The DF-7 is designed to give you the tonal nuances, drive, and vibe reminiscent of the Ibanez® TS-9*, DOD® Overdrive/Preamp 250, Boss® DS-1*, Pro Co Rat™*, Boss® MT-2 Metal Zone®*, DigiTech® Metal Master™, and Electro-Harmonix® Big Muff π®*.The DF-7 also features Flexible Output Mode™ with a choice of six stereo spectrums and the acclaimed CIT™ cabinet modeling technology.This gives you the flexibility to run either directly into a mixer or recording device utilizing the DF-7’s cabinet models or amps in either stereo with 6 spectrum choices or mono.
