Congratulations on choosing the DigiTech

 Red Special Pedal! 

This piece of gear is, in my opinion, a work of genius!  I claim no credit!  An 

amazing DigiTech team led by legend Eddie Kramer have created a device 

capable of making anybody sound like me!  (If you should want to, that is!)
Through an incredible new modeling technique, this pedal captures 14 of the most 

memorable tones I’ve achieved for Queen over the years, and places them at your 

fingertips.  
But it does not stop there.  Our hope is that you, the guitarists of the future, 

will use this machine as an aid to creating your own new tones, and inspire you 

to greater heights.  To enable this to happen, each tone setting on this pedal can 

be adjusted in gain, level, bass, treble, and many other parameters to meet the 

demands of your wildest dreams!  
From the searing harmonically rich solo sound of Bohemian Rhapsody, to the 

churning saturated thickness of the climax of ‘We Will Rock You’, to the hitherto 

inimitable ‘Deacy’ amp tone, which I’ve used for years to create ‘orchestras’ of 

guitars on record, this device will shock you!  The Red Special Pedal puts a new 

spectrum of tones at your command, whether used as a preamp for a stage set-up, 

or directly into the board in your studio (the Pedal models the amp cabinets too).  
Plug in and turn it up – and ROCK!  
Cheers!”
