Congratulations and special thanks from DigiTech® for choosing the Expression FactoryTM Pedal.
When you want to express emotion with your guitar, two hands are great, but two hands and a foot are better.Years ago, pioneering musicians and engineers developed technology that let your foot alter and enhance your guitar’s tone while your fingers are busy playing the notes.These pedals were so revolutionary, they’ve endured and evolved through the years: the wah pedal, the flanger, the rotary speaker, the pitch bender, the chorus, and the volume swell.These pedals placed guitarists’ feet on the path to the future of modern music.
The DigiTech Expression Factory captures seven of the most versatile and dramatic pedal-controlled effects in guitar equipment history: the Vox® Clyde McCoy WahTM* and the Dunlop® Cry BabyTM Wah*, the Leslie®
147 Rotary Speaker*, the A/DATM Flanger*, the Unicord Uni-VibeTM*, the DigiTech® XP300 Space StationTM Synth SwellTM*, and the DigiTech Whammy®*.The Expression Factory lets you walk in the shoes of many mighty guitarists before you, who discovered that with one foot on the stage or the studio floor, and the other foot on an expression pedal, the journey through exciting and dramatic guitar tones will never end.
