Ok, so am i the only one who's surprised that they didn't talk about the fact that there's a heel switch on the EX7, that there are all the distortion factory models hidden in there, that it also has cab sim and that it also can be used as a volume pedal?
I was fortunate enough to grab an EX-7 from a seller in France at the initial stage of the pandemic. Brand new in the box (yes, I have the box!) with the series advertisement booklet, manual, and 9VAC adapter. I got it for $106. I felt bad that I got it so cheap but I couldn't pass it up because I had wanted one since they initially debuted and didn't buy one when they were still being manufactured. So special thanks to the seller in France that hooked me up with an unbelievable deal and to those who don't have this pedal, buy one now! It's amazing and you will not regret it 🤘🏻
I was gifted a DF-7 as a kid when they first came out. They were sold to us that this was a great pedal to get different sounds without buying all the other pedals. And now after picking my guitar back up after 15 years and I am so glad I have it.
I gotta say, it's wildly impressive at your ability to jam on the fly in these live videos and seemingly never hit a flubbed note or run out of ideas or anything negative. Y'all just messing around is better than a lot of actual bands around nowadays :D
@@lukasschramm9887 I don’t think so, there’s no credits out there and from him talking about the timeline of his life and the company, it seems unlikely he would leave that out. I think the dude can just play
This episode really feels a bit different than normal. I loved it. The slightly more roundtable feel, and the business analysis of the Digitech/DOD acquisition was really great.
I have one! Thanks for finally showcasing these underrated & innovative Digitech Pedals. Always loved it's sound on videos & soon after I found the DF7 for $50Aud about 5 years ago & still love it. People are just mad cos they slept on these for so long & forgot about them cos they thought they were "Too Digital" but they are great & very analog sounding, & are an affordable & convenient way to try out different pedals ( and Amps) like many Digital Apps & Pedals are today! And it's still one of the best All-in-One Pedals out there! Cheers & keep up the good work! 🐨👍⭐🎸
I'll never NOT have the Expression Factory on my board. The whammy, flanger, space station are good, but the UniVibe and Leslie are worth double $$. Also, it has the DF-7 distortions in it. Oh, and all those cab sims too!
@@awwwyeaboyeeee and the "Leslie" can be distorted!!!!! Dialed mine in (with the help of an EH micro pog) to nail the organist tone from a certain Clutch record!
EX-7 is one of the greatest pedals ever made. It's a classic and so versatile. The whammy on its own is probably worth the price when you allow for the distortion and cab sims. Having the Leslie and univibe is astounding but add a pair of decent ways AND an ADA and it's virtually a pedalboard. You just have to warn your audience to "set your faces to stunned" (a bit like when watching this channel)...
I'm a long time Expression Factory user- I can't believe you didn't mention that all the distortion factory sounds and cab sims are included in the EX-7 (not to mention the hidden volume pedal mode!)
For example, you could have added the DOD 250 (or any of the distortions) by heel clicking the expression pedal rather than using the separate Distortion Factory pedal. It's so rad.
Bro the pogo octavia mini is absolutely perfect! I know it was an older show but just had to say thanks because I wouldn't have even known about them without you're feature on pogo. So thanks! Oh and that stromer super fuzz is the greatest of all time! Another great suggestion I got from yall!
Its funny i actually wanted a df 7 but could never remember what the actual name of the pedal was and was like OMG yes!!!! then went to reverb. and greated with insano prices but before you said it i knew it would calm down eventually. went to work the next day and was recounting the show to a friend at work. he calls me in the office later and tells me he found me one for 40 bucks lol. the advantages of working for the mighty GC. love your show thanks
Im really happy that you have this channel up. As a hard core gear geek, its awesome to be able to hear some circuits that I may of never heard other wise. And the jokes make it that much better. Like maybe 1cm, but better is better! Do it to it.
Guys, thank you for this video. I’ve had a DF-7 for over ten years now and it’s proven to be a workhorse for anything I need. Guitars, synths, vocals, NOAA transmissions,etc…. Setting seven inspired me to get a muff (the newly made green muff reissue), which I love, but I got used to the equalizer of the DF-7. The EQ is a bit touchy on this thing, but totally worth it. And thank you for explaining the cabinet settings on the mixer function, I always thought the mixer function sounded too dark. I’ll have to play around with it. Talk about Easter eggs…
I didn't have exactly this pedal line but I remember having the Screamin' Blues from Digitech for a long time (i traded for another pedal a few years ago) and I remember connecting the mix output for playing in several jam sessions that didn't have the bare minimum equipment and it sounded awesome. Thank you guys for this episodes because it means that I wasn't that drunk and the pedal actually did the work right 🤟😎.
I absolutely love these shows and it truly pisses me off when people who get these videos for free, enjoy them and learn something get so negative and come up with conspiracy theories. It’s as if they can’t simply appreciate something or someone, there must be a plot! These trolls have been doing this to Andertons for years as well. Accusing them of nefarious crap, be it faking the blindfold tests , because how could anyone like Chappers be so good at identifying gear? Or it’s The Captain must be trying to rip people off. Now they’re clearly hitting your show. The one that promotes other companies pedals! Just ignore them. Don’t even give them the time of day on your show. I guarantee you they are in the vast minority as most of us are grateful and truly enjoy your work. Thanks JHS!
Got one (edit - I’m talking about the DF7, never tried the other pedals in this video). I pulled it out for a jam and it’s as good as advertised. The cab sim tech on these pedals is great. Running the mixer out to the pa and the main to your amp gives a great mixed tone live as well. I didn’t know about the cab sim working in bypass mode, that’s a cool Easter egg. The Hot Rod distortion from this era is still one of my favourite gigging distortion pedals and features the cab sim stuff too.
All the modes are amazing but the Leslie is unbelievably good. It's just spot on... I set all the drive presets to the Tube Screamer setting and it does the job perfectly. Brilliant design, the one and only annoyance is the weird power supply...
It's been a couple of years that I have enjoyed these videos but I won't truly be satisfied until Josh rocks a stache to match the rest of the JHS group!
Tropa Magica! I saw them in Seattle, opening for another band and they blew the headliner away. I got the same T-shirt that Joshua is wearing. Love them
Dang it, Josh Scott!!!!! All I ever wanted was 2 DF7s and an Expression Factory… and a Jimi Hendrix… and, and a Brian May expression pedal…. And now people are probably going to look at all of Digitech’s artist pedals, toooo. ….Because you TALKED about Digitech’s pedals.
i have the expression factory! ive had it for years and i still use it on my board. i love its options, wah and whammy! i had no idea there were other pedals in the series until now!
The RP-21 had a lot of the features of the expression factory pedal. I’ve always loved the tones and ease of dialing in the tones I want from Digitech products.
I love my Digitch Tube Overdrive. It was the first pedal I bought along with a tuner pedal. It has been on every pedal board I have set up and just seems to add some sort of magic. Admittedly, I was not a big pedal guy. I get so much out of the guitar and amps I have owned, but I have since gotten into them. I still truly value my Digitech pedals and would love to get a few more despite having primarily tube amps.
Love the x series delay! Have been thinking about getting a df7 for a while so was excited when you made the last video. Would love to see a video on the whole x series.
You guys just amazed me on what you’ve caused… there is not a single Digitech Factory series pedal anywhere that is not selling for an exorbitant amount of money… even in local ads here in So. California… love the show…
I had one sitting in my closet that I picked up for 25 bucks at pawn america 8 years ago when I wanted to slap some distortion on a synthesizer - I started playing guitar this year and it took me more than a month to pull it out. Didn't know about the amp sims but I have it in front of a peavey nashville 112 which is nearly transparent so discovering the amp sims did a lot for me. Thanks guys!
Am I the only one who got excited thinking they might be able to get some Zoom backgrounds of the pedal wall, and then ended up crestfallen that such a thing does not exist? (Yet?) I'd totally use those. 😃
Damnit Josh. Now that stinking distortion factory is going up like a klon. I saw your video yesterday and I believe you called it a $60 pedal By the time I looked it up on reverb they were 200 to 400. You are a tastemaker and a trendsetter Sir.
Are the cab sims the same for Bad Monkey as they are the Distortion Factory. I have the Bad Monkey, Hot Rod, Digidelay and was wondering if all have the same cab sims.
I would like to say that I was one of those people who “suggested” that Josh and his friends corner the market on specific pedals, then made a video to jack up prices. Of course, I was being sarcastic. Not surprised that some people think that’s a real thing they might be doing. But in reality, it’s absurd. And I still love the show. And still have no interest in buying any of these digitech pedals. At a pretty much any price. $25? Maybe. $85? Highly unlikely. But this was a great demo on the reality of what is going on inside these little gems. Great work as always, guys!
I absolutely adore my Expression Factory! The V1 Whammy mod is great for those Tom Morello glitched out lead tones and the wahs were good enough for me to sell my RNC!
I never knew your channel existed until I watched the DF7 video out of boredom and then this one popped into my feed. I’m not a pedal guy… I do have 2 pedals one of which is a Digitech Hardwire pedal and the other some old DOD. So as soon as the DF7 video ended I saw the video was a year old and thought, let me hit eBay and Reverb… holy crap 💩 the prices have went up for a Digitech DF7 since your video … prices are all over the place 109-135 to 240-500 that’s crazy 😮 So I was scurrying around and found a DF7 in excellent condition with the box for $99 bucks 😂 there aren’t any others that cheap. I don’t even use pedals, I own Digitech processors 😂 can you do reviews on those? The GSP 2101 with and without the Artist upgrades please … I have multiple units 😂 Ok, gonna go watch some more of your videos and then see how much the items have skyrocketed. 😂❤ great channel btw.
I did just find the Chorus Factory for $65 in my local shop, and your video mentioning it solidified my waffling on buying it. I miss my Fulltone Choralflange, and it's great to have a version of it again. As I mentioned on the other video, it's the hug of death. You mention something cool, and it brings a lot of attention because of your influence. It's an unfortunate side effect. I'll keep an eye out for these pedals when the market calms the hell down.
I'm watching this like months later. I'm currently a little sick (head cold or something) but I live overseas with my wife. Being sick is a quick way to make you want to go home. Tone Squad was oddly comforting. It's like guitar sesame street came on.
Today my go to is a headrush fx but I got DF7 years ago for guitars and more recently with grooveboxes . The DF7 cab sim in mixer out was a surprise thanks. I bought a CF7 cheap after seeing this video. They're great pedals.
One note is that the Distortion Factory is actually built into the Expression Factory. The only reason to have both is it can be hard to switch between settings easy. But that's the problem with this pedal. There is no memory or recall. Whatever settings you love on any model is in your brain, but switching models requires a lot of tweaking. For instance, if you go from wah to whammy or Univibe to Leslie. Univibe to Leslie may match up close enough, but wah, whammy, or space station won't.
Bought the EX-7 for $100 a few years ago and added the Digitech FS3X pedal to help control it. The EX-7 toe switch is notoriously a PITA to trigger. I have to do a flamingo one legged stand on it to trigger. Makes for a good stage presence move. Especially when I have flap the wings not to fall over. The heel switch is much easier, but engaged the DSF-7 which I don't always want to use.
I remember reading a mod to fix the toe switch AND extend the pedal range. There is a rubber stopper on the left side under the "i". That is the culprit. I pulled mine out and the toe switch is now easier to trigger and the range of the pedal is extended a bit. This does result in a part in the toe making contact with the frame. So if you don't want that contact, just shave the rubber stopper down to taste. I couldn't find where but I think it's the switch notches. There is a rubber stopper on the right side for the heel switch. Leave that one there or else you can trigger the heel switch way too easy just by normal rocking motions. rock on! get it? *sigh*
The toe-switch in my unit stopped working just the other day. I can still engage the green light with the FS3X connected so it's still usable. However, since the toe switch is also needed to change the distortion model (by holding it down for 3 seconds making the led flash yellow if I remember correctly) I cannot access that function anymore. I have not found a way to get to that selection-mode with the FS3X. Has anyone else experienced this or found solution ? Opening the enclosure to get to the faulty switch us a nightmare. No Allen Key seem to fit properly and once you have it open you can't get to the toe switch because the bloody board is in the way and held tight in place by some screws that seem to be unreachable...
"What are you having for dinner?" "I'm having taquitos." "I thought you were sayin' you were havin' tequila." Drinking a margarita and jamming along on this New Year Day. Much love from Tokyo, gents!
Been on a mission the last year and a half collecting all of the Digitech pedals from this era (in good condition with the box). Got the whole Hardwire series but missing just the CF-7 (will be a while before I get that one now...) and a couple others from the X-Series (Flanger, Tuner, and Synth Wah).
in 2012 or so i bought a "digiitech xp-1000"; moded xp chassis with all 4 xp pedals selectable via rotary. you have to power down to switch pedals. you can still get them for between 250-300. totally worth it

Ok, so am i the only one who's surprised that they didn't talk about the fact that there's a heel switch on the EX7, that there are all the distortion factory models hidden in there, that it also has cab sim and that it also can be used as a volume pedal?

I think that the Josh Scott market fluxuator is one of the greatest and funniest things to watch in almost real-time.

Brand new in the box (yes, I have the box!) with the series advertisement booklet, manual, and 9VAC adapter. I got it for $106.

Same here! Only downside is the heel switch is sometimes a little too sensitive and I’ll accidentally turn on the distortion lol.
@@huntergalloway3944 there's a pedal recalibration process in the manual. Give it a try. Might help with your problem
It comes across as more of a mechanical issue due to use, but I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
Yes! Everyone raves about the Space Station but the Univibe and Leslie are hugely underrated.

Which "toe" setting do you use to have the distortion only?
@@Matlevodouze Univibe with pedal at heel position ("speed"=zero)
@@DaveyGage I would use Whammy with the mix set to 100% dry.
Are the distortion models before or after the expression effects?

Great dynamic on this episode/show. Vibes are good!
I've had (and still have) both for years. I loved being able to come to a gig, and just plug into the PA.... seriously underrated pedals.

That metal jam was the most amazing thing I have ever heard.
I used my Bad Monkey, with the cab sim output to record direct. No amp, just guitar into Bad Monkey into my Tascam recorder, and it sounded great.
Are the cab sims the same for Bad Monkey as they are the Distortion Factory. I have the Bad Monkey, Hot Rod, Digidelay and was wondering if all have the same cab sims.

Found the DF-7 at the flea market for like $15-$20 a while ago, time to dig it out from where ever I put it!

Tone Squad was oddly comforting. It's like guitar sesame street came on.
Today my go to is a headrush fx but I got DF7 years ago for guitars and more recently with grooveboxes . The DF7 cab sim in mixer out was a surprise thanks. I bought a CF7 cheap after seeing this video. They're great pedals.
this is a great channel
One note is that the Distortion Factory is actually built into the Expression Factory. The only reason to have both is it can be hard to switch between settings easy. But that's the problem with this pedal. There is no memory or recall. Whatever settings you love on any model is in your brain, but switching models requires a lot of tweaking. For instance, if you go from wah to whammy or Univibe to Leslie. Univibe to Leslie may match up close enough, but wah, whammy, or space station won't.
Guitar on 1st jam kind of wandered into The Edge from U2 territory a bit. THUMBS UP SIR.
Love the Space Station and the PDS pedals! Would be excited if you did a video on either of those digitech lines.
I was gifted a PDS 1002 Delay 12 years ago…It sat in my busted FX box. I plugged it in….AND IT WORKS!!!🤯 It’s going on my big board build.
Bought the EX-7 for $100 a few years ago and added the Digitech FS3X pedal to help control it. The EX-7 toe switch is notoriously a PITA to trigger. I have to do a flamingo one legged stand on it to trigger. Makes for a good stage presence move. Especially when I have flap the wings not to fall over. The heel switch is much easier, but engaged the DSF-7 which I don't always want to use.
I remember reading a mod to fix the toe switch AND extend the pedal range. There is a rubber stopper on the left side under the "i". That is the culprit. I pulled mine out and the toe switch is now easier to trigger and the range of the pedal is extended a bit. This does result in a part in the toe making contact with the frame. So if you don't want that contact, just shave the rubber stopper down to taste. I couldn't find where but I think it's the switch notches. There is a rubber stopper on the right side for the heel switch. Leave that one there or else you can trigger the heel switch way too easy just by normal rocking motions. rock on! get it? *sigh*
The toe-switch in my unit stopped working just the other day. I can still engage the green light with the FS3X connected so it's still usable. However, since the toe switch is also needed to change the distortion model (by holding it down for 3 seconds making the led flash yellow if I remember correctly) I cannot access that function anymore. I have not found a way to get to that selection-mode with the FS3X. Has anyone else experienced this or found solution ? Opening the enclosure to get to the faulty switch us a nightmare. No Allen Key seem to fit properly and once you have it open you can't get to the toe switch because the bloody board is in the way and held tight in place by some screws that seem to be unreachable...
Yus the drums sound so good
I bought the ex-7 twice! Best A/DA flanger and detune reverb mode I’ve ever heard!
i was gonna buy every pedal you have showed and will show in the future and you drove the price up haha. people are crazy
My first electric guitar was a Cort Explorer style with "built-in effects" (those never worked)--purchased from Sears catalogue in 1990
Reissue the Expression Factory
Lean even harder into the edgy aesthetic
Call it the Carbon Footprint
The space station setting was amazing! I regrettably got rid of a jetpack modified xp 1000. Had all four of the xp pedals. Pretty amazing.
😲😲😲😲😲😲!!!!!!!!!!! *faints*😑

Drinking a margarita and jamming along on this New Year Day. Much love from Tokyo, gents!
I think I’ve owned my EX7 for like 10 years. I bought it for the Space Station preset, but used the Rotary cab sim a LOT.
Been on a mission the last year and a half collecting all of the Digitech pedals from this era (in good condition with the box). Got the whole Hardwire series but missing just the CF-7 (will be a while before I get that one now...) and a couple others from the X-Series (Flanger, Tuner, and Synth Wah).
I have all x series pedals boxes great shape 4 trade or sell not looking for a lot just something different
in 2012 or so i bought a "digiitech xp-1000"; moded xp chassis with all 4 xp pedals selectable via rotary. you have to power down to switch pedals. you can still get them for between 250-300. totally worth it
Who uses the EX-7 professionally on his board ? I thought I saw it on a rig run down on here before
