DigiTech Eric Clapton Crossroads User Manual

Crossroads… SEVEN

signature tones from guitar legend

Eric Clapton.

In conjunction with Eric Clapton, we have helped recreate some of his

most famous tones in a DigiTech® Crossroads Artist Series pedal by applying our new Production Modeling™ technology.

The revolutionary technology was designed to help reproduce the studio and live sounds and effects of an artist as heard on their recordings. This includes modeling the speaker cabinets, microphones with their placement, pre/post effects, and the recording engineer’s magic

all in one pedal. If you’re a Slowhand fan or just want to add some amazing

new tones to your sound arsenal, Crossroads is

a must-have pedal. 6
